I have so many patients approach me daily asking about the tooth whitening procedures we provide here at the Langley Dental Practice. We provide a choice of treatments and each patient has their own unique reason on why they want to have the treatment done in the first place.

Tooth whitening is a cosmetic treatment which naturally lightens the colour of the existing teeth. Before I go any further, it is important to note that teeth are not naturally white, so this solution will lighten the teeth by a few shades, but will not make them brilliant white.

Remove unwanted stains. Stains may be caused by smoking, drinking alcohol or coffee. Over time using these items will cause unwelcome stains which are impossible to remove. Whitening toothpaste, while promising to help hide stubborn stains, will not hide them effectively. Patients approach me to identify if tooth whitening can assist and hide the stains moving forward. The answer to this question is yes.

The patient is attending a special occasion and wants their oral health to look amazing. So many patients approach me because it's their wedding or their anniversary and they want their teeth to look lighter and healthier in photographs.

Root surface debridement is carried out under local anaesthetic due it requiring that

the dentist cleans the gums and below the gum line. The dentist numbs the gum line

and then effectively cleans the gums and under the gum line to remove the bacteria

that is causing the gum disease

It is amazing the number of patients who will approach me for tooth whitening when

attending an important interview. Smiling makes you more approachable and if you

don't feel confident about your oral health and you don't smile, your chances of

securing your dream position may be hindered.

Tooth whitening is known to improve confidence and boost self-esteem. So many of

my patients advise that as soon as they have their teeth whitened and their teeth are

a few shades lighter, they feel more confident, they are more inclined to smile and

they feel better about themselves.

What many people don't realise is that as we age our teeth automatically yellow in

colour, which can lower our confidence and self-esteem. I have a high volume of

clients who approach me for our tooth whitening services due to their teeth yellowing

with age and them wanting to feel younger.
