Teeth Whitening in Oxford

Your teeth become discoloured when the outer layer of the enamel becomes stained, or when your enamel becomes thin and exposes the inner layer of dentine, which is naturally yellow. There are several reasons why your teeth may become discoloured over time, with both avoidable and unavoidable explanations. However, the most common cause is down to lifestyle choices, for example consuming dark-coloured foods and drinks, such as coffee and red wine, smoking and tobacco use and poor oral hygiene practices.

There are some natural causes of tooth discolouration, which can be down to genetics, ageing and dental trauma and treatments. Silver amalgam, which was traditionally used in metal fillings, can cause the discolouration of the tooth, as can treatments such as root canals. Our treatments for teeth whitening in Oxford can resolve most cases of tooth discolouration, but this will be discussed in more detail with your dentist during your consultation.

Over-the-counter teeth whitening treatments are renowned for the fact that they can cause tooth sensitivity following treatment. Our professional teeth whitening treatments in Oxford are led by our dentists, meaning that for the duration of your treatment, and even after it is complete, you have access to their experience and advice.

At Beyond Dental, we use the very best in teeth whitening treatments which are less harsh than ready-to-buy treatments and use a regulated, safe volume of active whitening ingredients that not only provide the desired results, but ensure that your teeth and enamel aren’t damaged in the process. Before beginning your teeth whitening treatment, we’ll provide you with a special toothpaste that prepares your teeth for the whitening process and reduces any potential sensitivity during and shortly after your treatment. We advise that, in the first 1-2 days following the completion of your teeth whitening treatment in Oxford, this is when teeth feel the most sensitive, but this does get better after a few days.

Teeth whitening is an amazing cosmetic dental procedure that provides smile-transforming results. It is important, however, to recognise that these results are not for life and will reduce in brightness over time. How long your results last depends on which teeth whitening treatment in Oxford you choose, with results lasting between 6 months and 3 years. How long your teeth whitening results will last can depend on a number of factors, including your oral hygiene practices and consuming fewer foods that are known to contribute to staining.

At Beyond Dental, we use a combination of at-home and in-clinic treatments. During your consultation, your dentist will do a real-time scan of your teeth so that we can create your custom whitening trays. Whilst these trays are being made, this is when you will use the pre whitening toothpaste. Once your trays arrive, your dentist will explain how to use the whitening gel with the trays and then you can use the treatment over 3-10 days, depending on how white you would like your smile to be.

If you are having Novon Dental Whitening treatment, then we may invite you in for a final 40-minute treatment which will help you achieve a B1 shade of whiteness. We’re confident that, no matter which treatment you choose for your teeth whitening in Oxford, you’ll see results in just a few weeks!

Simply put, because we do dentistry differently. At Beyond Dental, we put your experience and results at the forefront of everything we do. No matter what treatment you come to us for, whether it's for a dental check up or teeth whitening in our Oxford clinic, we’re confident that you will enjoy a bespoke experience, all whilst enjoying all that our luxury practice has to offer.

We’re also different in that we offer two types of teeth whitening treatments - Novon Dental Whitening and Zoom Whitening. This means that no matter the results you are looking to achieve, you have the choice between the two personalised treatments. We’re passionate about giving our patients the smile that they deserve and with our £25 per month dental subscription plans, you get access to free Zoom teeth whitening twice per year, completely free, alongside your dental checkups and hygiene appointments.
