Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Teeth Whitening

How can we help you?

Teeth Whitening

While you may be tempted to buy over-the-counter teeth whitening products, our professional teeth whitening in Newport offers several advantages over DIY methods. The formula dentists use is much more concentrated, which produces better results. Our formula can only be used by a registered dental professional.

Any surface staining will prevent the gel from effectively penetrating into the teeth, so it’s necessary to have a professional cleaning done beforehand.

It’s necessary to complete all dental treatment before undergoing whitening as the whitening gel shouldn’t come into contact with any cavities or decay. It will be very uncomfortable for the patient and risks damaging the nerve.

Most people experience sensitivity during the whitening process, whether performed at home or in the dental chair. To alleviate some of this discomfort, we recommend using a sensitive toothpaste for two weeks before starting your treatment. While this may help reduce sensitivity, it won’t eliminate it completely.
