You don’t have to be a screen celebrity to have shiny white teeth. No matter what your role in life, be it a hard working parent, established professional or even an aspiring entrepreneur, your smile says a lot about you and can play a major role in your self esteem, confidence and sense of well being. With the advanced teeth whitening treatments now available, it has never been easier or cheaper to get the smile of your dreams. So how does teeth whitening work and is it safe? In this article, we answer your most common questions.

Q: Why choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Although it is now possible to purchase home teeth whitening kits online and on the high street, they rarely give the desired results and can often leave you feeling frustrated and out of pocket. Due to restrictions set by law, retail kits contain a much lower level of the active ingredients. In addition, they may not always be suitable for use by all patients.

Getting your teeth whitened by your dentist is a much better option. Not only can you be sure the chemicals are clinically guaranteed to be safe, the results are much more predictable. Because a higher level of active ingredients is allowed, professional teeth whitening is highly effective and gives lasting results – meaning you are sure to be satisfied with your investment.

Q: Is teeth whitening safe?

Provided that your teeth whitening is supervised by a qualified dentist, it is a very safe procedure. As well as ensuring the treatment is carried out correctly, the dentist will also conduct an initial examination to make sure that everything is order and that you are suitable for the treatment. A dentist will also ensure that your gums are fully protected during the process, reducing the risk and avoiding any discomfort.

Q: What is Philips Zoom! whitening

Philips Zoom! In studio power whitening is a tried and tested in surgery whitening treatment that is incredibly effective – as demonstrated by the millions of satisfied patients who have used it.
