Smile Studio Teeth Whitening, A brighter, whiter smile…

Smile Studio

Background

Smilestudio London was the first dedicated teeth whitening centre in the United Kingdom.  It opened in March 2002 in the West End offering advanced teeth whitening treatments in a relaxing environment.  The ethos of the company is to deliver results in a customer friendly way.

Such was the interest from dentists on this new approach that, in 2003, smilestudio started offering select dentists the opportunity to join and promote the smilestudio way of teeth whitening.

Smilestudio continues to research and offer the best in teeth whitening.

Smilestudio dentists and associated staff have received training in all aspects of teeth whitening.  It helps to ensure that you get the best possible result from your choice of treatment.  Please ask – we are here to offer comprehensive and friendly advice. 

Professional choice for you.

The Treatments

Vitesse

The Vitesse power whitening treatment whitens your teeth using the latest whitening system.  Specialist whitening gel is applied to your teeth and, through an advanced oxidation Process (AOP) involving light and chemical activation, your teeth are whitened in about one hour.  A home whitening kit is advised to help ‘fix’ this chairside treatment and to ensure optimum results.

Flexi

Flexi is an easy to use system designed to work in the comfort of your own home.  After a consultation with our dentist, a set of patent pending custom fit trays are made which fit perfectly onto your teeth.  You are carefully instructed on how and when to apply your whitening gel.  Full support is available and a review is usually held after two weeks – at your convenience…

Smilestudio offers the best teeth whitening at competitive prices.  Our whitening treatments will help you achieve the smile you have always wanted!

The Result

Pre and post – treatment photographs will be taken to illustrate the degree of whitening achieved (an average of eight shades using the chairside whitening system.)  Below is a typical example of the before and after photographs of a very satisfied smilestudio client.

Questions & Answers

What is teeth whitening?
It is a bleaching process that lightens discolouration of enamel and dentine.

What causes discolouration?
There are many causes.  The most common include ageing, consumption of staining substances (coffee, tea, tobacco etc), trauma, nerve degeneration and old restorations.

Who may benefit from teeth whitening?
Almost anyone.  Having a whiter, brighter, younger looking smile can boost your self confidence.

How does teeth whitening work?
The oxygen releasing whitening gel is applied to the surfaces of your teeth.  As oxygen enters the enamel and dentine, it whitens the coloured substances without affecting the teeth structure.

Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes.  Clinical research and studies indicate that whitening teeth with oxygen releasing gel under supervision is safe for both teeth and gums.

Are there any side effects?
Some people experience temporary teeth sensitivity during the treatment.  These symptoms should disappear within 1-2 days of interruption or completion of the treatment.

How long do the results last?
Your teeth will always be lighter than they were.  However, some people want to touch up their smile by re-whitening once or twice yearly with a top-up treatment.  This is especially valuable if you continue to use staining products such as coffee or tobacco.

‘Power’ or home whitening?
Put simply, with Power whitening, you get results straight away but it costs more.  With home whitening you follow a simple procedure at home, attaining optimum results after about two weeks.  It is the more cost-effective option.

Can over the counter (OTC) products do the same?
No.  Current law does not allow OTC products to contain enough active ingredient for effective teeth whitening.  Examination and advice from a dentist is also invaluable to safeguard against any possible problems.
