What is professional teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening at Infinity Dental Clinic is a simple, safe and effective way of lightening the colour of your teeth. It is a popular form of Cosmetic Dentistry which can have a significant improvement on the appearance of your smile.
Our team at Infinity Dental Clinic will also provide you with aftercare by showing you how to keep your teeth whiter for longer.
At Infinity Dental Clinic we use the latest and most state-of-the-art technology to provide our patients with the highest standards of care in Cosmetic Dentistry. Our intra-oral digital scanners allow us to provide our patients with bespoke, advanced dental care without any delays.
Types of teeth whitening:
Professional home teeth whitening
This is the most popular teeth whitening system as it is very predictable and enables our patients to maintain the white shade of their teeth very easily at home. Bespoke whitening trays are made to fit over the surfaces of all of your teeth. These trays are designed for home use using Dentist prescribed teeth whitening gel. Our dental team will advise you how to effectively use them. They will need to be worn overnight or for a few hours during the day, usually over a two – four week period.
This is a very simple system to use, putting you in control of the result. You can choose how often and for how long you wish to whiten your teeth. You can then simply use top-up teeth whitening gels to whiten your teeth further, or whenever you feel the need to whiten your teeth in the future.
Internal teeth whitening
Your Dentist will prescribe this treatment for individually discoloured teeth caused by previous injury or endodontic (root canal) treatment. It involves placing teeth whitening gel into the chamber of the tooth and usually requires 3-4 sessions over a 6-8 week period. This is the ideal treatment solution for patients who have just one or two discoloured teeth.
Teeth whitening results
We will take clinical pictures of your teeth before and after treatment – you will be amazed by the results.
We can advise how white your teeth will be following treatment to ensure that you achieve the right shade for your smile. You are in control and you will decide which colour is best for you.
Teeth whitening FAQs
How long does Teeth Whitening last?
You can expect the whitening result from your teeth whitening to last for a couple of years. The more you try limiting things that stain your teeth including red wine, coffee and smoking, the longer the results will last.
If you start to see the colour of your teeth fading a little, simply top it back up again. Remember that your whitening trays will last for many years so just ask our team for another syringe of whitening gel and regain your brilliant white smile.
How can I keep my teeth white?
To keep your teeth beautifully white after treatment, cut down on the amount of food and drinks which stain your teeth. Items such as tea, coffee, red wine and turmeric should not be consumed too frequently. It is advisable to stop smoking as this is one of the main causes of stained teeth.
Regular sessions with our hygienist are recommended to not only keep your teeth looking cleaner, but also to keep your gums healthier.
If you notice your teeth discolouring again, simply ‘top-up’ the whitening using your bespoke whitening trays for a few days.
Will Teeth Whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some people may experience sensitivity during tooth whitening treatment. These symptoms are only temporary and will subside soon after finishing treatment. We provide desensitising toothpastes with our Teeth Whitening to help minimise this.

Should I use a whitening toothpaste?
Whitening toothpastes alone will not lighten the natural colour of your teeth. They may however remove some surface staining, as they can be very abrasive. Therefore, we do not recommend the use of whitening toothpastes as it can cause loss of the surface enamel. Professional Teeth Whitening is the safer way to whiter teeth.
