Tooth whitening can be a very effective way of lightening the teeth. Professional tooth whitening does not cause the removal of the tooth surface so it is completely non invasive.

Teeth can become discoloured for several reasons:

• Teeth can become darker with age
• Teeth can discolour due to food and drinks such as red wine, tea and coffee
• Smoking can discolour teeth
• Certain antibiotics can cause tooth discolouration
• Trauma to the teeth can cause them to discolour

Tooth whitening can be a very safe and predictable way to lighten the natural colour of the teeth.

At Heathcote House the dentists will do an extensive examination of the teeth to give their expert opinion upon how successful tooth whitening will be in each individual case.

The effects of tooth whitening will last for several years. If you smoke, drink a lot of tea, coffee or red wine the teeth will naturally discolour quicker. The dentists at Heathcote House will give you their advice on how to maintain the whiteness of your teeth.

At Heathcote House we advise regular visits to the dentists so that they can help to maintain optimum dental health.
