Elation Dental in Croydon South are your Cosmetic Tooth Whitening and Bleaching experts!

Causes of discoloured teeth

Age, smoking, coffee, tea, red wine and medications are the most common causes of tooth discoloration. In addition, plaque on you teeth capture stains too, so it's important to have a professional dental cleaning done before any tooth whitening. The expert gentle dentists at Elation Dental will let you know if tooth bleaching is a suitable treatment for you!

Is tooth whitening right for me?

We'll examine your teeth and ensure your teeth are healthy to commence tooth whitening. If you have existing sensitive teeth, we'll check you don't have any problems that need fixing first - for example cracked fillings or cavities must be fixed first. We use intraoral cameras and other diagnostic tools to clearly explain what treatment you need!

What do I need to know about the tooth bleaching process?

Simply put - we make a 3D scan of your teeth to create customised whitening trays that are unique to your smile.  Apply whitening bleach to the trays and apply for around an hour, nightly for 2 weeks.

This is not a permanent procedure - think of a spray tan, or hair colour changes. We recommend top-up kits of tooth whitening every 6-12 months after your initial treatment. And remember, what you drink and eat will affect the longevity of this treatment.

A beautiful smile with crowns and veneers
  • We recommend avoiding smoking, red wine and other potentially staining foods and drinks while whitening your teeth.
