Teeth Whitening in Saffron Walden, Essex
Over time, teeth naturally yellow and discolour as your enamel thins with age. The food and drinks you consume also contribute to tooth discolouration, adding stains from such things as tea, coffee and red wine. Certain habits, like smoking, also promote colour changes in your teeth. Our dentist in Saffron Walden offers a high-quality Essex teeth whitening service.

What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that brightens the appearance of your smile using a specially formulated teeth bleaching solution.
Courtyard Dental’s teeth whitening in Essex can provide you with an at-home teeth whitening kit, which consists of our custom-made flexible trays and whitening gel. The teeth whitening gel gently lightens enamel and dentine, leaving your teeth looking cleaner and brighter, and helping you look years younger when you smile.
Teeth Whitening in Essex: The Process
Patients who are interested in teeth whitening in Essex can book a consultation with one of our friendly dentists. We will assess your teeth and gums and advise you on how teeth whitening can help you get the smile you want.
Teeth whitening treatment is very straightforward. We start by taking impressions or a scan of your lower and upper teeth, then forward the information to a dental laboratory technician. They use these dimensions to create bespoke whitening trays designed to fit your mouth perfectly.
Once your teeth whitening trays are ready, we will have you come back to our dental practice where we fit the trays and give you instructions on how to use the whitening kit at home. Before you start using the teeth whitening kit, we note the shade of your teeth at the start of treatment, so we can see the difference at your next appointment for teeth whitening in Essex.
Using Your Teeth Whitening Kit
At home, the whitening trays can be worn for several short periods during the day or overnight, with a small amount of whitening gel inside. The trays are thin and comfortable, almost forming a clear skin over the teeth. These whitening trays are designed to be worn during your normal routine, making them well-suited for busy individuals who aren’t sure whether they have time to whiten their teeth.
Our teeth whitening Essex process is quick and risk-free. In just under five days, you should be able to see a noticeable difference in the colour of your teeth.
How Much Whiter Can We Make Your Teeth?
During our initial teeth whitening consultation, the dentist will be able to estimate the results we can help you achieve. We believe in full transparency and want to set realistic expectations for our patients.
When it comes to teeth whitening, the results vary from individual to individual. Some teeth respond very well to our Essex teeth whitening treatment, with dramatically brighter teeth as the result. For other patients, they may notice very little difference in the colour of their teeth before and after treatment.
What to Expect with Teeth Whitening in Essex
Teeth whitening in Essex is not an invasive dental treatment. Some patients experience no pain or sensitivity with their teeth. However, some patients who opt for teeth whitening experience sensitivity either during and/or after their initial treatment.
Any tooth or gum sensitivity is usually mild and short-lived and settles down after approximately 48 hours. To offset this sensitivity, we may recommend a special gel or mousse to apply to your teeth.
