Teeth whitening is a safe chemical process that reduces the discolouration and restores natural whiteness to your smile.

The shade of your teeth can vary based on factors such as diet, genetics, lifestyle habits, and age. The natural whiteness of teeth gradually fades, and the teeth may start to look yellow. Professional teeth whitening is the easiest way of restoring your teeth to a natural white shade.

At Church Street Dental Practice in Houghton-le-Spring, we offer the following teeth whitening options:

  • Boutique Whitening – Boutique was built by a dentist with 20 years’ experience and a simple dream: to make professional teeth whitening accessible to everyone. The unique blend of whitening gels creates the ultimate whitening experience, with formulas for use during the day (Boutique Whitening by Day) and at night (Boutique by Night) with your custom-made trays. You can see your tooth shade improving significantly within 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the type of discolouration and your compliance with the treatment.
  • Enlighten Whitening – With a premium whitening system, a fully trained team and teeth whitening dentists at the ready in Durham, we can help you get the smile you’ve always wanted. This system guarantees improving your tooth shade to B1, the lightest shade possible, with a formula that whitens the teeth from within. The process typically takes 3 weeks, with the first 2 weeks requiring you to use the custom-made trays with an overnight whitening gel, and the last week with a stronger formula for one-hour daytime use.

Our fully qualified dental professionals will be with you at every stage, whatever option you choose. We’ll also answer any questions you might have to ease your mind before you have your teeth whitened.

Post Treatment:

These options for professional teeth whitening achieve very good results, but they need to be topped up regularly since they’re not designed to be permanent. With good oral hygiene and a few lifestyle adjustments like avoiding stain-causing food and drink, you’ll be able to enjoy your whiter teeth for longer.

FAQs

 

Where can I find professional teeth whitening near me?

If you’re looking for a teeth whitening dentist in Durham, please visit us at Church Street Dental Practice in Houghton-le-Spring, Tyne & Wear. Our friendly staff and experienced dentists will guide you throughout the treatment process and help you get the bright smile you want.

 

How much is a private teeth whitening treatment?

When you go to the dentist, teeth whitening cost varies by clinic and by the teeth whitening treatment you choose. To give you an idea of the cost of teeth whitening in Newcastle upon Tyne, Boutique Whitening starts from £350, and Enlighten Whitening starts at £675 at Church Street Dental Practice.

 

Is it safe to have teeth whitening at the dentist?

Yes, teeth whitening by a dentist is generally safer than doing it yourself. Professional teeth whitening uses carefully balanced whitening solutions to improve the tooth shade without harming the enamel. When you have the procedure at a teeth whitening clinic, your dentist can make the necessary adjustments to protect you from discomfort, especially if you have sensitive teeth or gums.

 

Does teeth bleaching brighten teeth permanently?

No, the effects of teeth whitening are temporary. You’ll need regular top-ups to keep your teeth looking bright, and how often depends on your lifestyle and diet. If you regularly consume staining foods and drinks such as red wine, black tea, soda, berries or curry, you might need a top-up every 3 to 4 months. Otherwise, most patients top up every 6 months to a year.

 

Does smoking affect teeth whitening?

Yes, smoking can stain your teeth and may mean you need more frequent top-ups to maintain your results. If you’re thinking about quitting, the NHS has guidance and support on stopping smoking that you may find helpful.
