Professional teeth whitening

Following the guidance for aftercare and sticking to a "white diet" after your teeth whitening treatment can help you to maximise the results. The effects of LED teeth whitening can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. However, several factors can influence the duration of the whitening results. For instance, habits, your oral hygiene practices, and overall dental health can cause tooth discolouration.

In most cases, a single session is enough, but the LED teeth whitening process may have to be repeated more than once in the same session. It's important to note that while the results are long-lasting, stains may reappear over time. If this occurs and the patient wishes to lighten their teeth again, an additional session can be arranged.

No, teeth whitening with LED light is not painful, though some patients may experience mild sensitivity during the treatment. This sensitivity can sometimes persist for a few days afterwards, particularly in response to temperature changes (hot or cold) or acidic foods. However, this sensation typically subsides within a few days.

If performed correctly, LED teeth whitening should not damage tooth enamel. The ingredients in the whitening gel and the use of LED light are specifically formulated to minimise any potential harm. However, it’s important to seek a teeth whitening treatment from a professional to ensure the process is carried out properly and to avoid any risk of damage.

Impress LED teeth whitening is a simple and efficient process. Before we begin, we protect our patients' eyes and gums. Next, we apply a hydrogen peroxide gel evenly to the teeth. Once the gel is in place, we shine an LED light on the teeth to activate the gel and enhance the whitening effect. After a few minutes, the gel is removed. This process can be repeated up to 3 times in the same session to achieve the desired results.

The price of teeth whitening with LED light usually ranges between £300 and £600. At Impress we offer competitive prices which can also be financed in easy instalments to make payment easier.
