Boutique Home Teeth Whitening

For the convenience of being able to whiten your teeth at home and ‘top up’ your teeth whitening, opt for Boutique home teeth whitening.

Home teeth whitening is where you apply a special teeth whitening gel into a personally created gum shield or ‘tray’ and wear it overnight for 1 – 2 weeks. At Evolution Dental we recommend the Boutique at home whitening system.

Convenient

One of the advantages of home teeth whitening is that once you have been provided with your personal teeth whitening trays, you can top up the whiteness of your teeth by purchasing top up whitening agent syringes from our practice.

Reliable

At Far Headingley Dental Care we use the very effective Boutique whitening product, ‘By Night’. This is a 16% carbamide peroxide gel, containing potassium nitrate, which is proven desensitiser. Worn for 4 hours, or overnight in personal whitening trays, this gel is designed for patients who would prefer to not have to use their trays in during the day and would prefer to whiten whilst they are asleep.

FAQ

Please find some of the most commonly asked questions & answers about Dental Implants at Evolution Dental.

The active chemical in the teeth whitening agent is 16% carbamide peroxide. This gel releases oxygen free radicals (which whiten the teeth) over a longer period of time, due to its sustained release. This gradual approach will still give fantastic results, due the length of time the gel stays active.

Some people have naturally darker teeth. Your teeth can also be stained on the surface by food and drinks such as tea, coffee, red wine and blackcurrant. Smoking can also stain teeth. Tartar can also affect the colour of your teeth. Some people may have staining under the surface, which can be caused by certain antibiotics or by tiny cracks in the teeth which allow the stain to penetrate the teeth.

Teeth whitening trays look like a gum shield or mouth guard. Your dentist will take an impression of your teeth and send this away to a dental laboratory so that they can use this as a mould to create trays that are designed for your teeth. This ensures that you have a perfect fit and that the whitening agent can be evenly administered onto your teeth without leakage.

In a very small number of cases patients might find that their teeth become sensitive during or after the treatment. There could be discomfort in the gums, you might get a sore throat or tiny white patches on the your gums. These symptoms are usually temporary and disappear after a few days of the treatment finishing. The most frequent side effect is a small amount of sensitivity that your dentist can help you with by applying a desensitising gel on your teeth.

Placing a dental implant is often easier than taking a tooth out and is usually done under a simple local anaesthetic, similar to when having a filling done. The procedure itself is comfortable, but just like after an extraction, you may feel some discomfort for a few days after the dental implant is placed.

Your dentist will be able to give you an idea of the treatment time during your consultation. Usually the final teeth are fitted onto the dental implants 3-4 months after the dental implants are placed.

You will be given advice on how to look after your dental implants, both immediately after dental implant placement and for long term care. Cleaning dental implants is no more difficult than looking after natural teeth.

Most teeth are permanently fixed to dental implants and will look and feel like natural teeth. If you have removable dentures secured by dental implants, these can usually be removed for cleaning.

Although dental implants are made of titanium, this is hidden under the gum, and the dental implant will look just like a natural tooth. The new teeth can be designed to match exactly with your own teeth.

A single missing tooth will need one dental implant. If you have two or more missing teeth next to each other these can often be replaced with just two implants Your dentist will advise you as to where implants will be needed depending upon the teeth which need replacing.

Dental implants can generally be placed in most patients. Some factors that can affect suitability for dental implants include a small number of medical problems and certain medications. Sometimes there may not be enough jawbone but an additional procedure can be carried out to bulk up the bone prior to placing dental implants. Our implant dentist will assess you and provide a bespoke treatment plan and discuss the cost of treatment at your first consultation.

Do nothing, i.e. accept the gap. Although seemingly the simplest option, teeth around a gap will usually move into the gap to some extent. Whilst this doesn’t always happen, it usually does and may lead to food trapping and problems with the bite.

Bridges:- A bridge is attached to one or both teeth at the sides of the gap, and replaces the missing tooth. Bridges can be very successful, but have the drawbacks of committing one or more teeth to holding the bridge, which may lead to problems with these teeth in the future

Partial denture (plate):- This is a simple type of restoration, but is removable i.e. not fixed to the teeth. In some situations, it can be a good option, e.g. if many teeth are missing, but if one or two only are missing it is generally quite a poor option, as they are quite bulky.

Initial assessment visually and with an ‘x-ray.

A small CT scan is taken to accurately assess the area of the gap in 3-D, and allow detailed treatment planning of the implant stages
