Whiter Teeth For The Sunnier Months To Come! Cosmetic Dentistry In Burton and Ashby

Say goodbye to the snow and hello to whiter teeth.

With the snowy spell now hopefully behind us, we can start to look forward to the first rays of warm sun making their ways to the UK. This is a time of year when some of us will start to make changes, perhaps having a ‘spring clean’ not only in our homes but taking a look at ourselves too. With the warmer weather, we may be more inclined to get out the running shoes or bikes again. We may also take a new look at our appearance.

One of the fastest acting and most popular things that we can do to improve the way that we look is to undergo a teeth whitening procedure. This is a straightforward and painless treatment that can really give your smile a significant boost.

Stains and discolouration

At Alexandra Dental Care, we sometimes hear patients say that they regret not looking after their teeth better when they were younger. Whilst this is entirely understandable from those that have needed fillings or extractions due to neglect, it is also not uncommon from those people whose teeth are in generally good condition bar some discolouration. For many people, slightly yellow or darker teeth are the norm and a function of genetics rather than how they brush and floss. But is doesn’t have to stay that way and here at our surgery near Burton and Ashby, we have a range of treatments to help.

Scale and polish

Where the teeth have become stained on the surface, perhaps through tea drinking, for example, a good place to start is with an appointment with the hygienist at Alexandra Dental Care. Not only will the scale and polish provided remove potentially harmful plaque and tartar from the teeth and gum line, but will also remove most of the surface staining too. This can help to make your teeth look brighter to some extent, along with the obvious benefits of a cleaner, fresher and healthier mouth.

Teeth whitening

Not all discoloration comes from surface enamel staining. Our Burton and Ashby patients may have noticed, as they become older, that their teeth have taken on a darker, almost yellow shade. This is not due to surface staining generally, but is caused by the inner part of our teeth darkening over time. Unfortunately this is something that we can’t avoid, however well we look after our teeth.

The only way to restore the whiteness of teeth that have darkened in this way is through a teeth whitening procedure. If you would like to find out more about this, and live in the Ashby or Burton areas, please call Alexandra Dental Care today on 01283 216347 to arrange your consultation with one of our cosmetic dentists. We are excited to help you on the road to having a great looking smile ready for summer!
