Teeth Whitening at AllClear
Two methods of whitening are offered at AllClear – home and in-surgery. In both cases, before undertaking whitening, you will be asked to attend a 30 minute consultation during which your teeth will be checked for suitability for whitening and the process & risks will be explained to you following which you will be asked to sign a consent form.
Home whitening
At the initial consultation, impressions of your teeth will be taken to enable whitening trays to be made. Approximately one week later, you will be asked to return to the practice for the fit of the trays to be checked and the whitening kit to be issued to you.
You will be instructed how to use the kit and over the next two weeks you will use the trays & whitening gel for approximately half an hour per day.
At the end of the two weeks you will be invited to return to the practice for the improvement in shade to be assessed. Before and after photographs will be
taken to provide a permanent record of the outcome of the treatment.
In-surgery whitening
 After the initial consultation, an appointment of approximately one hour will be made for you to return for the whitening treatment.
During the main appointment, your lips and gums will be protected and a more powerful gel than that used in the home kits will be ‘painted on’ and your mouth covered with a specially designed light. This will be left for 10-15 minutes and then suctioned off. The process is repeated 2-3 times and, as with home whitening, before and after photographs are taken to provide a permanent record of the treatment.
If you choose in-surgery whitening, we give you a free home kit to maintain the whiteness achieved at your in-surgery session.

Frequently asked questions
| Q. |
Is tooth whitening safe? |
| A. |
It is a non-invasive treatment; in other words it requires no preparation or drilling of your teeth and does not affect the structure of your teeth in any way. You may feel some sensitivity on your teeth after the treatment but this should subside within 24 hours. |
| |
|
| Q. |
How long does the whiteness last? |
| A. |
Normally at least 18 months although smoking and regular consumption of strongly coloured food will shorten this. |
| |
|
| Q. |
Does AllClear do laser whitening? |
| A. |
AllClear does not use lasers in its whitening treatment. For the most part, the use of lasers in tooth whitening is to activate the whitening gel. The gel we use does not require laser activation to work although we use special light to help the process. |
| |
|
| Q. |
Won’t whitening toothpaste or over the counter whitening kit give the same results at a fraction of the cost? |
| A. |
Dentists use powerful gels under highly controlled conditions for whitening. The majority of over the counter products are ineffective, at best removing surface staining. We would always recommend treatment by a dental professional as whitening gels, when not used correctly, can cause injury & damage to your mouth tissue. |
| |
|
| Q. |
If I’m having in-surgery whitening, why should I bother with a home kit too? |
| A. |
In-surgery whitening uses a more powerful gel to give immediate results but, due to the speed of the process, the teeth can lose some of their whiteness unless the effect is ‘fixed’ during the following days and a home kit enables you to do this. Also, the whiteness will fade over time and a home kit enables you to restore the whiteness on an ongoing basis without the expense of a full course of treatment. |
| |
|
| Q. |
How white will my teeth become? |
| A. |
We cannot give any guarantees as to how white your teeth will become as a result of this treatment. As the gel acts on the enamel of your teeth, the degree of whitening achieved will depend on a number of factors including the structure of your tooth enamel, the existing shade of your teeth and your lifestyle. Please bear in mind that many celebrities with white teeth have often had veneers placed on their teeth and that photographs in magazines etc. are usually digitally enhanced or ‘airbrushed’. |
