Although the children haven’t even been back in school for a month yet, the evenings are already drawing in and the weather is decidedly colder. Christmas is now less than three months away and like it or not, the shops are making sure we know about it, reminding us that it’s never too early to start the Christmas shopping. If you’ve ever dreamed of having a perfect white smile for Christmas, now is also a great time to act and get your teeth whitening sessions booked in at your dentist.

What’s in a Smile?

A lovely, genuine smile is one of the most memorable things a person can share with us – and ultimately is worth far more than any present money can buy. Smiles bring about feelings of warmth, affection, happiness  – exactly what you want at the special time of year that is Christmas. Unfortunately, the brightness of our teeth fades over the years, as a natural result of the things we eat and drink as well as other lifestyle factors. This often leaves people reluctant to smile and expose their teeth – which at Christmas could leave you looking like the grumpy Scrooge. Luckily, with professional teeth cleaning, there is still plenty of time to make sure this isn’t you.

Why tooth whitening?

Evidence shows that people who are happy with the appearance of their teeth are happier and more confident themselves, and also perceived by others as being the same. Restoring the natural beauty of your smile with professional tooth cleaning can also make you look and feel younger. And if your family are going to be sharing their Christmas pictures online for the world to see, you certainly want your smile to be at its best!  

It is worth noting, however, that whilst there are many DIY tooth cleaning kits available on the high street, these rarely give the desired results and can leave you feeling frustrated. That’s why we recommend investing in professional tooth whitening.

The Latest Techniques

Teeth whitening has a long history and has evolved into one of the most popular aesthetic dental treatments available today. In fact, many Dental Professionals consider teeth whitening the safest cosmetic procedure available.

Here at Sharoe Green, we offer a range of options to suit every patient. Our standard teeth whitening procedure works as follows:

• A Dental Professional here at Sharoe Green will ensure your gums are protected with a special covering during the procedure
• A pH booster swab will be applied to your teeth, followed by our unique EU Compliant Zoom gel formula.
• The gel is activated using the WhiteSpeed lamp to break down stains
• After 4 x 15 minute sessions you will see visible results and be provided either our DayWhite or NiteWhite take-home kits to continue your whitening at home.

We ask all patients to book a free tooth whitening consultation to determine suitability for the treatment, which will also include a shade assessment.

If you are looking for something even more advanced, why not try our Phillips Zoom in-surgery power whitening treatment. Over 10 million patients have had their smiles brightened by this Zoom treatment and there are a range of treatment options available to meet specific patient requirements.

The cost of this treatment is £395 but patients that are on our membership plan get 20% off making it £316.

Again, an initial consultation will be required where a professionally trained dentist will assess your suitability to ensure that the procedure is completely risk free.
