Teeth Whitening
Everyone deserves a dazzling smile, but products like tobacco, tea, coffee, red wine, fried foods and juice take their toll on the colour of your teeth. By choosing to get your teeth whitened at Illume, you’ll be looked after by one of our registered dentists, using a safe, efficient method that has been proven to create noticeable results. Our professional teeth whitening service uses a gentle, sustained release action to help remove stains and dark pigmentation and reveal a sparkling smile without damaging the structure of your teeth.
We offer:
- ZOOM Whitening
- Enlighten
- Air Polishing
Teeth whitening can be a fantastic way to brighten your smile and boost your confidence. Events like weddings, job interviews, or reunions can motivate people to enhance their smile to make a great impression.
Here are some common reasons people choose to whiten their teeth:
Remove stains: Everyday habits like drinking coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking can cause teeth to become discolored over time. Whitening helps restore their natural brightness.
Reverse aging effects: As we age, enamel naturally thins, making teeth appear darker. Whitening can help rejuvenate your smile, leaving you feeling more vibrant and youthful.
Boost self-esteem: A whiter smile often makes people feel more confident in social and professional interactions.
While certain over-the-counter whitening toothpastes, mouthwashes and kits might give you a short-lived improvement, they won’t whiten as deeply or last, like professional whitening from a Dentist.
Here at Illume Dental, you’re in the hands of experienced and highly trained dentists who have delivered this treatment for many happy patients in the Cheltenham area.
Why choose Illume?
Don’t waste your time on cheap, ineffective home-whitening kits or try your luck with unqualified, unlicenced beauty treatments. At Illume, we’ll provide a service that is tailored specifically to you, and guaranteed to create results. We’ll conduct a professional consultation with you, to understand exactly what you want, and what is achievable.
We’ll also check to see if any other work, such as replacing old fillings or restoring areas of decay, will need to be carried out in order to create the perfect smile. Our system is also gentle and kind to your teeth, meaning that you’ll be able to avoid conventional drilling and other invasive techniques such as crowns and veneers.
The Process
Once you’ve had a professional consultation and we’ve addressed any areas of concern, we will take an impression of your teeth in order to produce a custom-made whitening tray. Once the tray, which is similar to a very thin, soft gum shield, has been made, the dentist will provide a treatment plan and demonstrate how to use the whitening gel to get the results you require. Most clients will wear the tray at home for around 60 minutes a day, or while asleep, depending on their individual needs, while our dentist will closely monitor your progress.
Teeth whitening can last for several years, but if, and when, you need to top-up your smile, we can offer supervised whitening as part of your ongoing dental care and maintenance.
