Teeth Whitening

Adding a special sparkle to your smile
Before

Before

Teeth whitening is becoming increasingly popular as more and more of us realise what a huge impact it can have on our smile and confidence. A bright smile can help us to look younger and healthier, and make us feel so good that we can't help smiling at everyone.

And the best thing of all is that professional tooth whitening is much more affordable these days, so it is easy to add it to your preparations for a special event, or simply as one of your cosmetic treatments.

There are many causes of tooth discoloration, yellowing teeth is often associated with aging, diet, and some foods and drinks cause staining. More severe discolorations can be caused by medications and illness. Smoking further stains teeth and the natural bright, white shade becomes darkened. The degree of whiteness achieved will vary from person to person and with the type of bleaching process chosen. At Belle Vue we offer several types of whitening gel – 6% hydrogen peroxide and 5% 10% and 16% carbamide peroxide.

Following an initial consultation Mrs Gardiner will diagnose the type and cause of discoloration and provide a treatment plan which will help you to achieve a brighter smile.

The whitening gels will be chosen for each stage of your treatment according to your sensitivity and the cause of your discoloration.

The treatment

We will take before and after photos and carry out a professional scale and polish - which ensures the best results.

We will provide you with a Professional Home Whitening Kit which includes custom made upper and lower trays and the appropriate tooth whitening gels with desensitising agents if needed.

The custom made trays can be reused so maintaining the whitening in the future is easy, needing only the gels which can be bought separately at Belle Vue.

Giving a gift that lasts.

Wouldn't it be great if you could give someone a really special gift that would help to look and feel great, not just for a few days but for months to come?

A professional teeth whitening treatment can make a huge difference to the way someone feels, and can turn a person who is self-conscious about their smile into someone who is so confident about it that you can hardly stop them from smiling all the time!

And, unlike other feel-good gifts such as a few days at a beauty spa or a weekend away, the effects of tooth whitening can last for years - so every time your loved one looks in the mirror they'll remember you!

This young lady had a root filling on her upper left central incisor many years ago and consequently, the tooth had gradually discoloured.

She did not want to have veneers fitted at this stage so we carried out a course of whitening which reduced the discolouration to a degree she found acceptable.

We plan to improve the appearance further in the future with whitening 'top-ups' to lighten the tooth further.

This lady was unhappy with the alignment, shape, size and colour of her teeth.

Her upper right front tooth was mobile.

The first stage was to extract the loose upper front tooth and straighten the upper and lower teeth using Inman Aligners and Braces.

The upper Clear Braces included a false tooth so that she never had any time with a gap in the front.

After tooth whitening we created a new smile with bridges, veneers and crowns.

The different height and colours of these teeth needed to be corrected in different ways. As before the first step is to return all the teeth to the same colour by whitening, in this case this was achieved by a home whitening system.

The acrylic temporary crowns and veneers gave a marked improvement.

The final stage involved cementing the permanent crowns and veneers, providing the natural tooth-like appearance that can only be obtained with porcelain.

This young man had an accident when aged 12 causing damage to the upper front teeth. He underwent root canal treatment at the time but over the years the teeth have become increasingly discoloured.

The solution was to use veneers that our skilful technician carefully colour matched to the adjacent teeth and, when fitting, we used a cement that would block out the discoloured tooth.

Reviews The service and care at Belle Vue dental practice is excellent!

I booked for a 'smile makeover' consultation appointment as I was unhappy how my 4 existing crowns were looking. They were old, discoloured and my gum had started to recede causing a grey line above one tooth.

Mrs Gardiner listened to all my concerns sympathetically, took photographs and moulds of my teeth, discussed options and followed up with a quote. I decided to bleach my teeth one month before replacing my old crowns to achieve a brighter overall smile. Mrs Gardiner supplied the bleach and trays that I wore for 1 hour every evening for around 2 weeks. I was supported throughout this process with good results.

I was really nervous the day I arrived at the surgery to have my old crowns drilled out and temporary crowns fitted. Mrs Gardiner and Dawn settled me in and talked me through what would happen and put my mind at rest. Within 5 minutes and being anesthetised (local) I couldn't feel a thing and all I had to cope with was the noise of the drill, which really wasn't that bad. Mrs Gardiner is so calm and reassuring I was confident I was in good hands whilst Dawn made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole appointment.

I was so pleased with the temporary teeth that I wore for 2 weeks, they were a great shape and colour, no one even noticed I was having dental work done!

The day I had my new crowns fitted was such a wonderful feeling and relief. I am so pleased with my new smile which is much brighter and looks more natural. I would thoroughly recommend investing in your smile if you are unhappy as it not only looks really great on the outside but you feel really great on the inside too. I feel much more confident when I smile and love seeing my teeth in photos now!

Finally, I received an excellent after care service from Mrs Gardiner and her team to ensure the dental work was a success and also posed for 'after' photos to complete the process. Reviews

The central upper right tooth had been root filled, this led to some gum shrinkage that created a dark area at the margin of the veneer. The veneer appears dark due to tooth darkening beneath it showing through.
