I would say its not a matter of which treatment is best but which treatment is more suited to you. In-surgery tooth whitening is a very good method to rapidly whiten the teeth, usually on average 8 shades lighter with minimal hassle to you. Customised home kits are a more slow and steady approach. It usually takes around 7-14 nights of wear to get a similar result to in-surgery whitening. However you have total control over how far to whiten the teeth and you can use them in the future if you feel the colour of your teeth has slightly dropped. If you don’t want to whiten them too much reduce the time of wear and if a really white result is desired prolonged wear can be advised. I quite often recommend a combination of both methods. This allows a quick initial result with the in-surgery whitening followed by use of the home kit as a top up and long term maintenance. I find this works well for people who want to whiten their teeth as much as possible.

What tooth whitening system works the best? and what one last the longest? also how much would it cost. thanks.
My dentist told me that different teeth respond to different treatments Enlighten is my preferred choice, and i have tried a few.
Please could you advise me on the approximate costs on the following. When I was in Thailand I had teeth cleaning that I have not been able to find in the UK. The clinic was very modern and had the latest equipment-can you offer the latest most thorough cleaning techniques? -after a deep clean I would like the most effective whitening you offer Once my teeth are white I would then like a veneer fitted on a single front tooth that is currently capped-what are the approximate costs of these procedures?

Hello I would like a quote to have my tteeth whitening. I have lost the toplayer of enamel off my teeth and very conscious of the colour they are now. I am also very fearful of dentists due to bad experiences, so wondered ifi am able to have the treatment done under sedation? or do you feel that would not be necessary.
Hi, I am interested in teeth whitening and would like to know more about the procedures you offer in-office (I am not interested in take-home kits). Please advise which system (Zoom?)you use and the costs of the procedure.
I am interested in “power whitening”, could you please email me info + costs.
my teeth are a nice shape which i am happy with but they have decayed and feel rough. they are also discoloured. iam getting married next ear and wantthem to look nice fo my pictures.
Hi, I am looking to have my teeth Zoom whitened, and i have a few questions. I wear a permanent retainer on the back of my upper and lower teeth: is this a problem/ are there any issues combining this with the one-hour whitening. I would also like to know availability and price of the Zoom one hourwhitening. Regards,
Dear Dentist I am really confused, can you tell me with regards to teeth whitening is it possible that a high % can traumatze your teeth/enamel if you have sentitive teeth? What is the difference does a high percentage have a high ph? will it do more damage? What really is the best way to whiten. I went to my dentist and they gave me a high percentage 27% I wasn’t too bad but I ahve it in my head that I have damaged my teeth now. As they said its a good idea to combine the two to get better results. Thank you for your time
They can become sensitive but this isn’t damage to the enamel.
I hope you are well. I am just enquiring about teeth whitening. I know there is a big range of it on the market but I was wondering which would be the best and have the most permanent results? Also my teeth are in very good health and I have never even had a filling but at times they can become sensitive. Could you mix this condition into the equation and still suggest a good teeth whitener? I would really prefer one with long last results and am ok with higher prices if this is the case. thank you again for your time
Tooth whitening is still one of the most unpredictable treatments. The best results are obtained with take home tray whitening products administered by a dentist. Consult with your dentist on what is the best option for you.
Hello there, I have been considering getting my teeth whitened and I understand that there are a number of different systems provided, which would you say is the best and how does it work? Which one lasts the longest? And are there any potential side effects to having your teeth whitening such as tooth weakness. Many thanks for your time
Most systems are comparable. There are no side effects from the procedure.
hi i have heard that you can combine Invisalign with teeth whitening. Is this true and are the results still as good as regular whitening? How does it work exactly? Sorry for all the questions, but it just sounds like a great idea! thank you!
you can a little whitening gel inside your aligners and keep them in over night ask your dentist and only use whitening gels he/ she provides.
Hi I noticed in another post you recommend the Zoom whitening system. I am currently looking to purchase a system but with that many on the market dont know which is best. I am of the understanding that obtaining the best effect is all about which gels you use and the actual laser light doesnt really make much difference..is this correct? Even though the laser is the biggest outlay…so if i was to use Zoom gel but with a cheaper laser do you think this would have just as good an effect? Thanks
I can only go by the results we achieve here at Sparkle Dental Boutique, using the Zoom Advanced Power and patients get very favourable results and it is quick, safe and effective. I cannot comment on another laser. Regards,
My daughter would like to have her teeth whitened and I want to ensure she has this performed by a competent Dentist. She does have a filling in one of her front teeth because she broke this tooth when a child. She is 31 years old and has never had any whitening treatment previously. There does seem to be so many people now who offer teeth whitening, even our local hairdressers has someone who performs this. Can you please advise me how to go about how to find a competent dentist. Thank you for your help.
Please look up a dental practice in your area who offers this treatment as dentists are the only professionals who can carry out this treatment safely and effectively.Dentists need to go through a training process to be able to offer whitening treatments, so they will be competent. Regards
hi i’ve tried a few different whitening products over the last few years and my teeth only seem to get a tiny bit whiter. what would you recommend as the best whitening treatment? I would like to have my teeth about 7 to 8 shades whiter thanks
Unfortunately whitening is unpredictable and you may not be able to achieve such a change. The best whitening products are take home whitening with trays and gel administered by a dentist.
i’ve heard you can mix invisalign and whitening treatment is this true? Is it completely safe both straightening and whitening at the same time? and would I continue whitening my teeth throughout the treatment or just towards the end? thank you for your advice
Hi Yes you can mix Invisalign and whitening and it is a common treatment and safe. However during Invisalign treatment we often place attachments on the teeth to help move them. You should not whiten the teeth whilst these are in place but before or after they are placed, else the tooth underneath will not whiten.
I am 19 years of age and since childhood my teeth have always had a yellow tint which as I am getting older is getting stronger. My dentist put this down to a thick layer of enamel. My oral hygiene, I believe is to be high as I am an aspiring dentist and very conscientious of the appearance of my teeth. Please advice me how I can overcome this problem i.e. teeth whitening products/ food. Many thanks
hello i have stupidly got hot sauce on my aligner and now it is stained-right at the front of my mouth! It looks ridiculous and i still have about 2 weeks left of wearing it! Can you recommend anything to take off the stain? sorry for my immense stupidity and thank you for your time
Hi there, The only thing i could advise is retainer brite which is available from most chemists. Not sure it will shift it but its probably your best option. Many thanks
hello is the best whitening achieved if you have both in practice and at home whitening? And how much of a difference? Im thinking of getting whitening but don’t want to be wasting my money if the difference isnt that much between the two different type of whitening thank you
The most predictable and economical whitening is take home whitening under the supervision of a dentist.
I would very much appreciate any opinion you can give on Kor Tooth Whitening. I have read up on it on the internet and it looks too good to be true. I know it is very new to the UK and only a limited number of dentists are currently ofering it. I wasn’t sure whether this is just because its new or whether its not thought to be proven yet? Do you think it is an improvement on other whitening methods or not? Thank you for your advice.
There is not enough solid information / evidence to fully assess the product at this moment
On a couple of my front teeth I have some white marks (florosis) – I’ve had trays made for bleaching and my teeth are probaly B1 now but they don’t look as white because of the white marks. Also, when bleaching tonight (now using Poladay) a new white spot appeared on another tooth – this never happened before – I had used last year wy10 but wanted a top up. Will I keep getting white marks or will they disappear? Also can cosmetic bonding be done on my two front teeth?
Unfortunately the white spots will continue. Yes, you could have cosmetic bonding to remove the white spots
I have been booked in for a teeth whitening (bleaching) treatment, but my front tooth has a filling on near enough half of it, I’m aware fillings cannot be bleached, so when i have my whitening procedure I’m likely to end with half of a stained tooth while the real half of my tooth brightens, I’m wondering how much around it would cost to resurface the filling on my front tooth, thank you for yous time and effort.
As a guide you’re looking at from £50 to resurface the filling if it does change colour
Hi, I have receding gum slightly and when I smile I see a black hole between tooth and gum. It is the front second tooth in. Im really paranoid about smiling. What Can I do about this. Can I have a white filling in place and do they do this on NHS otherwise can I have a price idea
A white filling might help, not sure of the price but around £50 as a guide.
I want to have my teeth whitened, i looked into Zoom treatment, but the consent form mention the risk of root resorption. I had root canal done 12 years ago and having higher risk of root resorption. my dental practice offers home whitening using poladay product. My dentist onfirm both zoom and home bleach have risk of root resportion. Please advise me if it true? Which one will have higher risk? Zoom or home bleach?and if there is any product or treatment offered out there without this risk? thank you.
This may occur very very rarely so maybe you don’t need to worry too much, home (pola) whitening might be best though?
If there has been no protection used on the gums during laser teeth whitening can this cause any future problems? I had laser teeth whitening mid Feb’12 without any product protection on my gums and they have started to bleed when i clean my teeth in the last week, which they have never done before apart from the odd spot…..could this be down to incorrect precedure?
No if that was the case it would have happened straight away, perhaps you need to see a hygienist?
I have had my front tooth bleached severly times the colour does improve but only for a couple of months then it starts looking off coloured again the nerve has died so the this is the reason it’s discolouring please advice me other options? Also iam 27 and stil have a baby tooth that does appear loose but the dentist says it may have 5 years left, my adult tooth has apparently stayed in my gum I really would this being replaced and tooth next to it seems smaller than the other side so my smile seems slanted please give me advice on what can be done? Thanks
It sounds like a veneer might work better than bleaching. It sounds like a combination of implants to replace the baby tooth and veneers on the remaining teeth might work best.
Hi, I have several fillings( on the upper and lower set) . What I want is to replace with white filling. Is it as good and durable like the amalgam and is it recommended to take my old filling out from the bottom molars(one filling each side). Will it weaken the connection and not be as strong enough? Also do you recommend hydrogen peroxide to whiten teeth? Why does the teeth also become more yeloowish in pigment after teeth whitening over 1-2 years afetr whitening procedure? Is it also possible to put crowns to replace the fillings? Thanks You for your help.
White fillings or porcelain inlays work well as an alternative to amalgam, teeth get yellow as a result of tea coffee and tobacco staining
hello doctor thorne would i be right in hearing that you can combine invisalign and teeth whitening at the same time? I drink quite a bit of tea and red wine (on the weekends) and both habits have discoloured my teeth to a large degree. I would therefore like to show my new teeth off with a nice white shine and wondered if it were common practice to have the whitening and straightening combined. I live in manchester do you know of any invisalign dentist there who also do the whitening at the same time? many thanks for your time
Hi Yes a lot of practices do this and we recommend it for a great finish once your teeth are straight. A really good Invisalign dentist in Manchester is Kailesh Solanki at Kiss Dental – 0161 820 4130. Good luck Adam
