Questions about cosmetic dentistry
Is professional teeth whitening safe?
For most healthy teeth, yes, when carried out under a dentist's supervision. Some people notice temporary sensitivity. We check suitability first: whitening isn't suitable for everyone, for example where there are certain restorations or untreated decay.
How long do whitening results last?
It varies. Tea, coffee, tobacco and some foods can darken teeth again; results can last from several months to a couple of years depending on your habits and any top-ups.
What is smile designing?
It's a planned approach to improving your smile: assessing tooth shape, size, colour, gum line and alignment, then combining treatments such as whitening, bonding, veneers or aligners to achieve a natural result.
