    Below are just two typical examples of how our Oxford dentists at Summertown Dental & Implants, create beautiful smiles and stunning white teeth from both in-chair and at-home teeth whitening treatments.

    Great results with at-home whitening treatments

    • The dental problem: The patient had discolouration and uneven shading among all teeth, primarily within the smile zone.
    • Prescribed treatment plan: Our Oxford dentist prescribed at-home whitening treatment with personalised whitening trays and gel. During your consultation, our team will discuss your treatment plan and the application process.
    • Result: The result was outstanding for the patient and was achieved in just 2 weeks with the Enlighten take-home teeth whitening system.
    • The dental problem: The patient had a dark upper left central incisor which was a result of the pulp (nerve) dying, probably due to trauma. The patient assumed that the pulp may have been damaged when she bumped the tooth. As a result of the dead nerve, the tooth darkened in colour.
    • Prescribed treatment plan: The patient simply wanted her tooth to match the rest in her smile. A root canal treatment followed by internal bleaching and then a porcelain crown or porcelain veneer.
    • Result: After the internal bleaching, Summertown Dental & Implants in Oxford obtained such a good teeth whitening result that it was not necessary to do the crown or veneer. This was a win-win situation for the patient as the treatment is much more conservative and cost-effective.

    For those of you considering teeth whitening treatment, we recommend coming in for a consultation to determine the best treatment for you. We use the Enlighten whitening system to provide our patients with the best results. With this system, we can make your teeth shades lighter in no time at all. The first thing many of us notice on someone’s face when we first meet them is their smile. If your smile is discoloured we can help brighten your teeth to give you a smile you can be proud to flash.

    We often see patients who have an important event like a wedding or anniversary that come and see us for a whitening treatment. If you’re off to an important event where lots of photos will be taken then a whitening treatment can help brighten your teeth and have you smiling wide for your special day.

    Make sure you use a professional teeth whitening system

    The market is flooded with at-home whitening systems and while these kits may effectively whiten your smile there’s no guarantee every system is safe. With our professional guidance and treatment we can assure your teeth are whitened while maintaining your tooth enamel. Your tooth enamel is the outermost layer of your tooth, it’s the hardest substance in the human body and protects your teeth, if the enamel is worn down during teeth whitening your teeth can be more susceptible to bacteria and disease.

    Using a combination of home and practice-based treatment, Enlighten teeth whitening is revolutionary and is known as one of the most predictable and patient-friendly methods out there.
