Teeth whitening in Lyme Regis

If you are dreaming of a whiter smile, we at Lyme Bay Dental & Implant Clinic can make it a reality. Teeth whitening is a simple solution that can immediately improve the colour of your teeth and boost your self-confidence.

      Why should you whiten your teeth? Top reasons explained

      While everyone dreams of a Hollywood smile, very few people have naturally bright, white teeth. Your teeth change colour as you get older, and other factors like what you eat and drink can affect their colour. Coffee, red wine, curry, balsamic vinegar and dark berries are all teeth staining culprits. You may have an important event coming up, such as a wedding or holiday, that you want to look your best for. It may be that your teeth have gradually become discoloured due to certain prescribed medications or antibiotics. A build up of calculus (tartar) can also lead to yellow-looking teeth, as can habits like smoking.

        How much does teeth whitening cost in Lyme Regis?

        The cost of teeth whitening varies depending on the type of treatment you choose. Professional teeth whitening typically ranges from £400 to £800, depending on whether you opt for in-practice whitening or custom take-home kits. Our dentists will assess your needs and recommend the most suitable teeth whitening option for you.

          Your teeth whitening consultation in Lyme Regis

          Before undergoing the teeth whitening treatment at Lyme Bay Dental & Implant Clinic your dentist will professionally remove stains from your teeth using a high-specification air polisher. A Prophy-Jet uses water and air pressure to remove tartar, and the inclusion of baking soda gently buffs the surface of your teeth. This procedure prepares your teeth to best receive the whitening application and ensures the correct shade is achieved.   

            How long does a teeth whitening last?

            How long your teeth stay whiter and brighter after the teeth whitening treatment is down to you. Stay away from stain-culprits and keep up a good oral health routine and the effects of your whitening treatment should last up to three years.

                Teeth whitening at home vs. in-practice with a dentist

                When considering teeth whitening in Lyme Regis, you have two main options: home whitening kits or professional treatment. Home kits involve custom-made trays and professional-grade whitening gel that you use at your convenience, typically over two weeks. They offer gradual, subtle results. In-practice whitening, on the other hand, is performed by a dentist and delivers instant results in just one appointment. It uses a stronger whitening agent, ensuring a brighter smile in less time. Our dentists can help you decide which option best suits your lifestyle and whitening goals.

                    Top tips to maintain a whiter, brighter smile

                    As well as using teeth whitening treatment, you can keep your smile looking fresh and bright by incorporating these five simple steps into your oral care routine:

                    1. Avoid, or keep to a minimum, foods like curry and berries, and beverages such as coffee and red wine that are known to stain teeth.
                    2. Have a glass of water or rinse your mouth out within thirty minutes of eating.
                    3. Plaque attracts stains, so keep brushing and flossing regularly to remove any build up.
                    4. Use a tooth whitening toothpaste or mouthwash.
                    5. Visit your hygienist for a scale and polish at least once or twice a year.
