You’d better smile! Your dentist will help!

Waking up and having that morning cup of coffee can be like drinking an elixir. Reaching for a glass of red wine at the end of a busy day may make you feel like you deserve it, as the first gulp goes down gratefully. While you may be thankful for these little moments in life, where you can be in the moment and unwind, are you really present? Are you thinking about the effects of caffeine and alcohol on your teeth? You may only begin to notice when your teeth become discoloured – and drinks are not the only cause of teeth changing their appearance. At Aura Dental, our dentist St John’s Wood can help to improve the colour of your teeth. As a Private Dentistry Award Finalist 2020, we are professionals with the knowledge and expertise to provide excellent treatment that has pleasing results.

What else can cause staining on my teeth?

If you have experienced discolouration of your teeth, it could be for a number of reasons. It could be because you have had an illness or condition such as diabetes, for example. Smoking is another well-known cause of teeth looking stained, and accidents can also take their toll on the appearance of the colour of your teeth. Moreover, as you age, your teeth will become darker anyway. Oh, to be young again! While you can’t turn back the hands of time, you can come to Aura Dental and let us help you to get a Vita Shade B1, guaranteed!

How does teeth whitening work?

Here at Aura Dental, we use Enlighten which is a completely safe system. We use custom- made trays to put our whitening gels into and you wear them like a gum shield. With some whitening treatments, there is the risk that if the gels touch the gums, they can be burnt; however, with Enlighten, there is no need to protect the gums at all.

While your custom trays are made, you will be provided with a special tooth serum that you need to brush your teeth with twice a day. Once your trays are ready, you can collect them from your dentist St John’s Wood and simply fill them with the gel and wear them to bed each night for two weeks, whilst continuing with brushing your teeth with the special serum.

Once you have finished your home treatment, you will come to see us and have a final 40 minute treatment in the practice. We use this method to ensure that you get an even result and that the shade meets the grade!

Anything else I need to know?

After your treatment has been completed, it is recommended that you continue to use some of the home whitening gel every 2 to 3 months. This will ensure that you keep your great results and that you can celebrate with a glass of vino too! So, if you fancy having a great smile that shines, come and see your dentist St John’s Wood and get ready to be Enlightened!
