Lighten and brighten your teeth the right way with a teeth whitening dentist
Teeth tend to lose their whiteness with age, but lifestyle habits like smoking or drinking lots of products like tea, coffee or red wine can wreak havoc on the luminosity of your smile.
Tooth whitening is the quickest and easiest way to improve your smile.
For our patients near SE1, Mint Dental offers two types of teeth whitening; in-practice whitening carried out by a professional teeth whitening dentist and at-home teeth whitening kits.
We use special light-accelerated bleaching technology for our teeth whitening applications that can give instant, long-lasting results in just one appointment. See laser tooth whitening options.
The success and recommendation of tooth whitening agents highly depend on the staining present.
For example, regular tooth whitening products cannot effectively target intrinsic staining. In comparison, extrinsic staining refers to superficial stains that affect the surface of the teeth. Sometimes, these stains can be better targeted with dental prophylaxis or hygienist therapies.
Hence, it is often important to seek professional advice from a dentist who can identify which treatment will be best for targeting yellow teeth or tooth discolouration.
- Fluorosis: Instrisinc staining caused by overexposure to fluoride in the first eight years of life.
- Age: As we age, the tooth’s composition changes, which also causes the intrinsic staining of teeth.
- Hereditary: Imperfections in the enamel or dentin often cause tooth discolouration.
- Lifestyle: Habits like smoking can cause teeth to be yellow much more quickly (extrinsic staining).
- Trauma: When a tooth experiences trauma, the pulp becomes necrotic and stains the dentinal tubules black. In these cases, internal bleaching will only be applicable after a root canal.
- How long does tooth whitening take? It will depend on the type of system you choose. Typically most treatments take two weeks to work.
- How much whiter will my teeth be? We can lighten teeth up to 18 shades. However, most cases can expect their teeth to be lighter by 5-7 shades.
- How long will the effects of whitening last? Teeth can remain whiter for up to three years and long-term with regular top-ups.
- What should I avoid after having my teeth whitened? Avoid staining products like tea, coffee and wine to ensure your smile dazzles for longer.
- Is the treatment safe? Does it hurt? The treatment is safe and pain-free – however, as explained below, some sensitivity can be experienced.
- Are there any risks to be aware of? The most common side effect of tooth whitening is sensitivity (gingival irritation). Only 25% of patients experience non-sensitive reactions, with the other 75% experiencing varying degrees. Therefore, if you are experiencing severe sensitivity, there are protocols in place to adapt the strength of your treatment.

Which Tooth Whitening Method Is Best?
Of course, this will depend on how many shades you want to lighten your teeth and the current condition of your oral health. But the benefits between the two treatments can quickly become obvious regarding longevity and whiteness, which you can see in the table below.
Regardless of the type of tooth whitening you are recommended, choosing to whiten your teeth with a dentist will produce better results and be more cost-effective at the same time. Agents like peroxide found in tooth-whitening kits in shops like Boots use lower concentrations, which will not be able actually to alter the shade of the tooth.

The professional system includes teeth-whitening trays, which can be worn at home under the supervision of a dentist.
The maximum length of treatment is typically 15 days.
According to Enlighten Evolution’s blog, the treatment can last forever if you keep up with the simple at-home top-up regime, which includes 1 night every two months in the first year and one night every three months in your second year.

Philips Zoom Whitening is a take-home teeth whitening treatment that can give you a whiter smile in three days.
Fewer patients reported sensitivity problems using this system, which is common with tooth whitening.
Plus, the Philips kits require one of the shortest wear times, which might indicate why the system produces fewer sensitivity issues.
