Whiter than White
Whiter than White is a tooth whitening kit that provides you with professional results at home. It’s custom made in dental laboratories to fit around the shape of your teeth and costs just £99 in the UK, a lot cheaper than the £200 to £400 you’d pay for tooth whitening or teeth bleaching at the dentist.

A bright, white smile can make you look good and feel great. Patients who have experienced it say that the teeth whitening procedure helps them smile with confidence.
Tooth whitening involves a process that bleaches your teeth to achieve their ultimate natural whiteness. There are various tooth whitening systems available in the UK. Sytems such as BriteSmile can achieve this in around an hour.
In surgery tooth whitening
Prior to the actual bleaching teeth procedure, the cosmetic dentist will carry out a dental check-up to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy. You will be advised of any condition that may prevent the dentist from carrying out the treatment.
Your gums and lips will be protected from the bleaching agent to reduce the risk of sensitivity following the procedure. Any sensitivity that does occur usually disappears within 24 hours.
A bleaching agent is applied to each tooth, and is then exposed to a ultra-violet light which activates the bleaching process. This part of the process is repeated three times to achieve the ultimate result in whitening.
You should consider teeth whitening before you have any dental restoration work so that the colour of crowns and veneers that are visible when you smile can be matched to your natural tooth colour after bleaching.
The treatment is suitable for most people and is particularly successful in removing unsightly stains left by smoking, coffee and certain foods. The results of bleaching teeth will vary for each individual depending on the natural shading of your teeth and the level of discolouration and staining present prior to the procedure.
Take home tooth bleaching kits
A take home bleaching kit can achieve similar results over a longer period of time. An impression is taken of your teeth and two custom made trays are made to contain the bleaching gel. Patients take the trays and teeth whitening gel home and are advised to wear the trays for prolonged periods (usually through the night) for several sessions until the bleaching teeth process is complete. Results using this method are comparable to the BriteSmile technique but some patients find it a less convenient method of whitening their teeth.
