Our teeth tend to stain over time, from contact with certain foods and drinks, from smoking, or simply as a natural effect of ageing.
The protective enamel coating of our teeth wears down, revealing the yellow pigmentation inside, which can have a real impact on your self-esteem and confidence in your smile.
At Feel Good Dental, we use professional at-home whitening kits to help give you a dazzling smile. These contain an active ingredient - either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide - which once applied to your teeth begins to break down and penetrate your dental enamel.
This initiates chemical oxidation, breaking down the stains on your teeth, leaving you with a whiter smile.

Unlike with some over-the-counter teeth whitening products, our Croydon dentists employ the active whitening agent used in dentist-regulated whitening treatment kits at the dose, achieving optimal effectiveness in balance with patient safety.
We will always ensure that you are confident in inserting your whitening trays correctly and know how to apply the gel in a responsible manner before you leave the practice, so you can achieve your desired teeth whitening results in the safest way possible.
Unfortunately, dental veneers will not be affected by tooth whitening. If you are considering a tooth restoration with a dental crown or veneer we recommend undergoing a course of whitening treatment beforehand, so that your final tooth restoration can be colour-matched to your natural teeth after they have reached their fresher, whiter shade.
If any of your teeth have been restored with a crown or veneer in the past, your hygienist may be able to remove stains with a simple polish during your routine visits.
At your initial consultation at our Croydon clinic your dentist will examine your teeth and gums to ensure you are a suitable candidate for professional teeth whitening before commencing any treatment. If they find evidence of gum disease, tooth decay, or hypersensitivity, you may not be suitable for whitening. Instead your dentist may recommend treating any underlying infections, decay, or disease currently affecting the health of your teeth and gums before considering a whitening treatment.
