With the arrival of warmer weather, it’s time to embrace the joys of summer, and what better way to do so than with a radiant smile? Your smile is a powerful asset, expressing joy, confidence, and warmth. If you’ve been dreaming of achieving your ideal smile, teeth whitening offers a fantastic solution to help you get there. At Dental Care Ireland, we understand the importance of a confident smile, and we’re here to guide you on your journey to a summer-ready grin.

Teeth Whitening: Brighten Up Your Smile

Over time, various factors such as diet, lifestyle habits, and ageing can cause our teeth to become stained or discoloured. But don’t worry! Our professional teeth whitening treatments are designed to effectively remove stubborn stains and brighten your smile by several shades. This quick and non-invasive procedure can significantly enhance your appearance, boosting your confidence just in time for the summer festivities.

Our Whitening Process:

Consultation: First, the dentist will examine your teeth to ensure you are suitable for teeth whitening. This will include a check-up and may include some x-rays of your teeth. Some reasons that you may not be suitable could be gum disease, tooth decay or hypersensitivity. It is also important to note that teeth whitening only works on actual tooth structure – crowns, veneers or tooth-coloured fillings will not whiten.

Impressions: Once your dentist confirms suitability, they will work with you to identify the shade you wish to achieve. Your dentist will be able to advise you on what outcome you are likely to achieve before you begin as this can vary from person to person. Impressions will then be taken of your teeth so that customised whitening trays can be made for you.

Treatment at Home: Teeth whitening trays and gel are used at home for approximately 7 to 14 days. This depends on the shade you wish to achieve and the strength of whitening gels used. You may experience some sensitivity during this process, but this is very common and will disappear a few days after you finish your whitening treatment. If you usually have sensitive teeth, it may be helpful to use sensitive toothpaste before and during the whitening process.

Post-Treatment Care: After the initial application, you can purchase extra whitening gels which you can use to “top-up” your teeth to keep them looking nice and white. It is also important to note that tea, coffee, red wine and smoking cause staining of the teeth, and therefore regular hygienist appointments are recommended to keep your smile clean and white following treatment.
