Teeth Whitening

Complete a smile assessment and start your journey today

Teeth whitening enables you to improve your smile simply and dramatically, by gradually increasing the shade of your teeth until you are happy with the results.

There are several methods of teeth whitening, but at Smile Suffolk – Ipswich we favour Take-Home Whitening. A custom tray is made to fit comfortably in your mouth and a special gel is placed in the tray, which is then placed over the teeth and kept in place for the amount of time suitable to your requirements.

Most patients are advised to wear their trays overnight until the desired result is achieved, but you can expect to see a big difference after 2–3 days.

Achieve healthy white teeth

A good way to achieve healthy white teeth is to match the colour of your teeth with the whites of your eyes and, to achieve optimum results, we suggest the following:

You must follow our dentists’ advice.
You should be consistent with the treatment.
You are not ‘yellowing’ whilst you are whitening your teeth – meaning that you should avoid food and drink with excessive colour such as tea, coffee, red wine and curry.
If you sustain a good diet, you can expect your teeth to retain their colour for approximately 2–4 years. And you can maintain your result long-term using the ‘top-up’ whitening procedure and booking in regular visits with your hygienist.

Teeth whitening is a simple and safe procedure, but we would advise against treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Teeth whitening can cause sensitivity, which is normal, and is present only during the whitening process, subsiding soon after it is stopped. Your dentist will give you some simple advice to reduce the sensitivity whilst you get your desired result.

"I am very pleased with the treatment I received. There was no discomfort during the course of treatment. The treatment has been beneficial because I can now eat anything either side of my mouth and I also I can smile better. I would strongly recommend Senthil to friends and family if they need similar care or treatment"

Mr W. Burrows, Treatment received: Sinus Lift, Implants, Crowns, Bridge

"Very pleased with quality of treatment, friendliness of practice and patient care. There was very little discomfort and much less than I expected. Improved self-confidence – willing to show teeth when smiling for first time in over 30 years. I would extremely likely to recommend Senthil to friends and family if they need similar care or treatment"

Mr M. Giles, Treatment received: Dental Implants, Veneers, Sinus Lift

"Well cared for and full explanation to what was happening and good aftercare. Very slight discomfort during the treatment. I benifited from implant treatment as its much less hassle than having a denture"

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Smile Ipswich for a filling. I was treated by Bolly, who does my 6 monthly check ups. I must say that this filling was the gentlest I have ever experienced. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very disappointed with the communication and transparency here. I registered over the phone and asked about booking a hygiene appointment, and was told I could do so online. Today I attended for the appointment only to be charged £150 instead of the quoted £99, because I was supposedly 'not yet a registered client' despite having registered. I was then told I actually needed to book a £77 dentist appointment first to be considered registered—something I was never informed about beforehand. Feels very misleading and like a way to squeeze extra money out of patients. Won't be returning.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jen snd Susie are both fantastic. The new GBT system for cleaning teeth wasn't at all uncomfortable and was a lot quicker and painless.
I used to dread having my teeth cleaned by the hygienist but not now!
Jen is always smiling, cheerful and professional 😊
