Teeth Whitening Newbury | The Rectory Dental Clinic

At the Rectory Dental Clinic, we offer some of the most advanced teeth whitening treatments to help you achieve a brighter, more confident smile. Using safe, effective, and modern whitening techniques. There are 3 ways in which teeth whitening can be achieved

Chairside Teeth Whitening

Chairside teeth whitening takes place in the dental surgery and can deliver fast, noticeable results. Unlike home whitening, which may take one or two weeks, chairside treatment can brighten teeth during one appointment. Appointments usually last 60 to 90 minutes. This makes treatment popular before weddings, holidays or other important events.

One main advantage is speed. Patients can often leave the practice with noticeably brighter teeth after one visit. The dentist applies the whitening gel carefully and monitors sensitivity or discomfort throughout treatment.

Chairside whitening costs more than home whitening because it requires clinical time, equipment and materials. Although results appear quickly, they may not last as long as results from dentist-supervised home trays. Some patients need occasional top-up treatments to maintain their results.

Coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco can stain teeth again over time. Overall, chairside whitening offers a convenient option for patients seeking rapid cosmetic improvement. It is the most expensive of the three whitening options.

Teeth Whitening with Dentist Custom Made Trays

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic treatment that improves the appearance of stained or discoloured teeth. One effective option is professional home whitening supplied by a dentist.

The dentist first examines your teeth and gums to confirm that whitening is suitable. They then take impressions or digital scans of your teeth. A dental laboratory uses these records to create custom-made trays that fit comfortably and accurately.

The trays hold the whitening gel close to the tooth surfaces. Their precise fit also helps protect the gums from irritation.

The dentist supplies a whitening gel, which usually contains carbamide peroxide. You place a small amount of gel inside each tray before wearing it. Your dentist will explain how long and how often you should wear the trays.

Most patients wear the trays for several hours each day or overnight. The exact schedule depends on the gel strength and your dentist’s instructions. Over one or two weeks, the teeth gradually become lighter.

Professional supervision makes this method safe and effective for suitable patients. Your dentist can also tailor the treatment to your teeth, sensitivity and preferred result.

Teeth Whitening Strips

There are many different types of whitening strips, some good some bad. In the UK whitening strips must be prescribed by a Dentist, they are not allowed to be sold in the UK. They are thin, flexible plastic strips coated with a whitening gel. The strips are applied directly to the teeth for a set period of time each day, usually around 30 minutes.
