Teeth Whitening Dundee

Using some of the most trusted and successful teeth-whitening products on the market, we can help our patients find a whiter smile in no time.

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments available and is a fast and effective way to transform your smile and boost your confidence. Teeth whitening treatments use a bleaching agent such as hydrogen peroxide to penetrate the enamel of the tooth and break down the discoloured molecules. This leaves the teeth looking whiter and brighter.

Are teeth whitening safe?

When using dentist-approved teeth whitening products, this treatment is completely safe. With our supervision and expert guidance, we can promise a whiter smile in a safe environment – there are other products available in beauty salons or online, for example, but without the dentist’s seal of approval, you cannot be sure of their safety.

What is the treatment process like?

Depending on which product you use, you’ll either whiten your teeth at home for two weeks, receive your treatment here at the practice, or have a combination of the two – the treatment process will be slightly different for each.

Which teeth whitening treatments do you offer?

We can provide Enlighten® Evolution and Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed for our patients.

How much whiter will my teeth be?

This can vary from patient to patient and according to which treatment you use. Enlighten® Evolution is the only teeth whitening treatment that can offer a B1 shade guarantee.

Who is teeth whitening suitable for?

Teeth whitening is suitable for most patients, although we’ll be sure to ascertain your suitability at a consultation. It’s worth bearing in mind that restorations such as crowns, fillings, and veneers as well as composite bonding are not affected by teeth whitening treatments.

Will it be painful?

You shouldn’t experience any pain while whitening your teeth with a professional product such as those we offer at Scottish Dental Clinic. Teeth whitening can, however, produce some sensitivity, especially in those who already have sensitive teeth. If you’re worried about this, we’ll be able to discuss your options during an initial consultation.

How long do the results last?

This can vary according to the patient’s diet and lifestyle – red wine, tea, coffee, and highly coloured foods as well as smoking can all increase the chances of discolouration – as well as which product is used.
