Bring the radiance back to a dull or discoloured smile.
Over time, lifestyle factors like coffee, tea, red wine, and natural ageing can cause your teeth to lose their brilliant lustre. At Malvern Dental Care, we take a holistic approach to cosmetic enhancement. Before diving into whitening, we evaluate your mouth as a whole to determine what will give you the most natural, stunning result—whether that is a thorough professional clean, targeted whitening, or fresh restorative care.
Unlike over-the-counter charcoal toothpastes, abrasive scrubs, or generic kits, professional dental whitening is custom-tailored to your unique smile and entirely supervised by dental practitioners.
Professional teeth whitening is a highly effective aesthetic procedure, but it is not universally suitable for everyone.
⚠️ Suitability Guidelines: Whitening treatments are not recommended for pregnant or lactating women, children under the age of 14, or active smokers. Additionally, please note that whitening formulas only lighten natural tooth enamel—they will not change the colour of existing composite fillings, porcelain crowns, or veneers.
If a custom take-home whitening kit is selected as the ideal option for your lifestyle, follow these professional care instructions to achieve optimal results:
| Step | Action | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Prep | Thoroughly brush and floss your teeth before starting. | Removes plaque so the whitening gel can directly contact the enamel surface. |
| 2. Load | Place a small drop of whitening solution into the front-facing impression of each tooth in the tray. | Overfilling the tray wastes product and can leak out, irritating your gums. |
| 3. Fit | Seat the tray firmly over your teeth. Gently wipe away any excess gel that squeezes onto your gum line. | Keeps the active solution away from soft oral tissues. |
| 4. Wear | Keep the tray in your mouth for the specific time recommended by our team (typically 30 to 60 minutes). | Gives the active ingredients time to break down stubborn surface stains safely. |
| 5. Clean | Remove the tray, brush your teeth with a wet toothbrush to clear remaining gel, and rinse the tray under cold water. | Cleaning ensures the tray remains hygienic. Note: never use hot water, as it will warp your custom tray. |
To secure your investment and enjoy a brilliant smile for as long as possible, observe the following post-treatment boundaries:
