Whiter teeth - Teeth Whitening in London
Time, smoking, tea and coffee are just a few of the things that cause your teeth to yellow and discolour. Whitening is a bit like a facial in that it helps to unlock pores in your tooth so that stains are gently removed leaving teeth cleaner and brighter. Whiter teeth can take years off your appearance and the effects can last up to ten years.
Although teeth themselves whiten well, any fillings or crowns will remain the same colour and may need replacing to match the new lighter colour of your teeth. Bow Lane Dental Group employ two methods for tooth whitening and we will advise you of the most suitable route through consultations:
