Teeth whitening

Whitening will not change the colour of your teeth completely but will lighten the shade, without removing any of the tooth surface. It is a safe procedure when carried out under professional supervision. Results last indefinitely. Just simply touch up your teeth with whitening gel every few years. Sometimes without a touch up, your teeth will start to re-stain by the same things that caused them to discolour in the first place.

It may be necessary to have other dental treatments prior to whitening, as whitening treatments can only be applied to healthy teeth and gums. A visit to the dental hygienist is also recommended prior to whitening treatment, to give the teeth a thorough cleaning and remove any surface stains. Teeth whitening is not effective on dental restorations such as amalgam fillings, metal or porcelain crowns, etc.

At Newcastle Dental Practice we use simple and safe home whitening systems. After checking your dental health, your dentist will take an impression to custom make dental trays that fit snuggly to your teeth. Once your trays are ready, your dentist will give you whitening gel and provide guidance on how to apply this at home, along with the required length of treatment in order to see your personal results. It may take between 3 days and a couple of weeks to see results, depending on your original discolouration and preferred shade.

Temporary sensitivity can affect some patients. If sensitivity is present, wear times should be shortened or made less frequent. Additionally, desensitizing toothpastes, gels, or mouthwashes can be used before or after the whitening process.

Great communication and I feel fantastic treatment.

Going to the dentist is one of my worst fears, so being able to go to Newcastle has the least trauma for me. Everyone are so friendly understanding and treat me with the most respect and kindness that I feel only the slightest nervousness attending the clinic

Excellent service

I have used both private and NHS dentists in the past but appointments have always felt rushed and I’ve not really felt informed. I’ve had a few terrible experiences which really made me nervous to attend appointments. My experience at Newcastle every time in the last 2 years is completely the opposite to this. Both the dentist and hygienist allow time to fully explain both what is going on with my teeth and gums but also what I need to be doing between visits. I have already recommended Newcastle to friends and family especially if they are nervous about visiting the dentist.

Very welcoming staff. Warm and friendly. None judgemental. For someone as nervous as me, I was put at ease and didn’t feel as though I was being told off or laughed at for my teeth. I went there to improve them and they offered me the care and advice I needed

I have been on the denplan for around a year and find all the reception staff, dentist and hygienist so welcoming. My dentist always takes the time to explain any potential problems and gives me his recommendations on how to avoid any future dental problems. I really appreciate it!
