Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening can be a highly effective yet very simple way to whiten teeth without removing any of the tooth surface.

Tooth colour varies, some teeth have a yellowish tinge whilst other teeth maybe slightly grey, though very few are actually ‘white’. As we become older, teeth may become more yellow and become stained from food and drinks, such as tea and coffee.

Here at Botley Dental Practice in Oxford we offer 2 different types of teeth whitening procedures; a tray whitening home system and Zoom®! Tooth Whitening.

Tray Whitening System

  • An impression will be taken and sent to a cosmetic laboratory for gum shields to be constructed
  • The gums shields are worn with a gel every night, at home, for 5-10 nights until the desired whiteness is achieved
  • If, after a few years, your teeth become stained/discoloured, the same appliances can be used to undertake further whitening

Evolution
  • Works by increasing the tooth's permeability to oxygen which breaks down stain molecules
  • A combination treatment meaning that there is a 2 week home treatment followed by a 1 hour visit to the dentist
  • Effective in difficult cases of discolouration

Zoom®!

  • ‘Walk-in’ teeth whitening undertaken in the chair
  • Light-activated process using state of the art technology to whiten the teeth by, on average, 8 shades
  • The process is painless, safe and effective
  • Performed by only Zoom®! approved practices
  • The process lasts just over an hour; the rewards last for years
