What is teeth whitening?
As we age, our teeth naturally get darker. Regularly consuming dark coloured food and drinks like red wine, tea and coffee gradually darkens our teeth. Sometimes trauma or illness can cause teeth to become darker, and smoking is the worst culprit of all.
Teeth whitening is a popular treatment at Askew Dental Care. If you live in Hammersmith, Shepherd’s Bush, Acton or West London and are looking for a fast and affordable way to update the look of your smile, book an appointment to talk to us about teeth whitening.
Which teeth whitening options are available at Askew Dental in West London?
At Askew Dental Care, we offer two options for teeth whitening:
Enlighten Evolution
Enlighten Evolution teeth whitening – at home teeth whitening
Enlighten Evolution teeth whitening takes place in the comfort of your own home. Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth which will be used to create your bespoke set of teeth whitening trays. Your dentist will show you how to use them. You place a small amount of Enlighten teeth whitening gel in the trays and wear them overnight for the prescribed amount of time –usually 3 weeks.
Enlighten Evolution home teeth whitening treatment is the only teeth whitening system which guarantees a B1 shade of white. Once you have finished the treatment at home, you will return to Askew Dental Care in Shepherd’s Bush for a final follow up appointment with your dentist who will apply an extra-strength booster treatment which will further enhance your results.
Boutique teeth whitening
Boutique teeth whitening treatment enables you to whiten teeth in the comfort of your own home. After your consultation for teeth whitening, we will take impressions of your teeth,and these will be used to create your bespoke teeth whitening trays.
Once the whitening trays are ready, we will show you how to wear them and how to fill the trays with Boutique teeth whitening gel. You usually wear your customised trays with whitening gel overnight. The teeth whitening gel passes through the enamel on your teeth and breaks down the stains by chemical oxidation. Boutique teeth whitening is gentle for sensitive teeth, yet effective. You will notice changes to your teeth in just a few days and you will complete your treatment in about 4 weeks.

FAQs
How long will my teeth stay white?
This will depend upon several factors and will vary for each patient. The results can last up to 3 years, but the effects will reduce if you smoke or regularly eat and drink products which will stain your teeth. Your dentist can advise you more about this.
Are there any side effects to having my teeth whitened?
Some people report that their teeth are sensitive to the whitening gel, others may get a sore throat or some discomfort on the gums. These symptoms are temporary and should disappear after the end of treatment. If you have sensitive teeth, let your dentist know at your initial consultation.
Will teeth whitening work on veneers?
No, teeth whitening will not work on any type of dental restoration including veneers, composite bonding, crowns or bridges. If you intend to have your teeth whitened as well as another dental treatment, we recommend having your teeth whitened first and then the restoration can be made to match your new shade of white.
