Teeth Whitening in Edinburgh
Is this the right treatment for you?
Teeth whitening can be a transformative treatment for many individuals. Here are some common scenarios where teeth whitening might be beneficial:
- Ageing: As you age, your teeth can naturally become dull or yellow. If you’re looking to rejuvenate your smile and regain that youthful brightness, teeth whitening can help.
- Stains from Food and Drink: Regular consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, or certain fruits can lead to stains on your teeth. If you've noticed discolouration due to your dietary habits, whitening can help reverse those effects.
- Tobacco Use: Smokers or those who chew tobacco often experience significant staining. Teeth whitening can restore your smile’s brightness and help eliminate those stubborn tobacco-related stains.
- Pre-Event Prep: If you have a special event coming up—like a wedding, reunion, or photoshoot—teeth whitening can give you that extra boost of confidence, ensuring your smile is at its best.

Teeth Whitening in Edinburgh
What is internal tooth whitening?
Internal teeth whitening is a specialised treatment designed to brighten discoloured teeth that have undergone root canal therapy. If you have a tooth that appears dark or stained due to trauma, decay, or previous dental procedures, internal whitening may be the ideal solution for restoring its natural brightness.
How it works:
- Access the Tooth: Your dentist will create a small opening in the tooth to access the inner pulp chamber, where the whitening agent will be applied.
- Apply the Whitening Agent: A safe and effective whitening gel is placed inside the tooth. This gel penetrates the tooth structure to break down stains and discolouration from within.
- Seal the Tooth: After the desired level of brightness is achieved, the dentist will seal the opening with a temporary filling. In some cases, multiple sessions may be necessary to reach the desired result.

How to Care for Your Whitened Teeth
- Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks: For the first 48 hours after your treatment, steer clear of foods and drinks that can cause staining, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and berries. Opt for water and lighter-coloured foods to protect your newly whitened teeth.Â
- Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and floss daily. This will help to keep your teeth clean and maintain your whitening results.Â
- Use a Whitening Toothpaste: Consider using a toothpaste formulated to maintain whitening results. These products are designed to help prevent new stains from forming.Â
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps to wash away food particles and bacteria that could lead to staining.Â
- Regular Dental Check-Ups: Continue with your regular dental check-ups and cleanings. Regular professional cleanings will help to remove any surface stains and keep your smile looking fresh.Â
By following these simple steps, you can enjoy a bright smile for months to come.Â

Teeth Whitening FAQs
Results can vary, but with good care, professional whitening can last from six months to a few years. Maintenance treatments and avoiding stain-causing substances can extend the results.Â
Some people experience temporary sensitivity during or after treatment. This is usually mild and resolves on its own. Your dentist can provide tips to manage sensitivity.
Whitening is most effective on surface stains. For deep or intrinsic stains, professional treatments may be necessary, and results can vary.Â
Teeth whitening products will not change the colour of dental work, such as crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you have dental work, we can discuss how to achieve a uniform look or consider alternative treatments.Â
It’s best to avoid consuming stain-causing foods and drinks, such as coffee, tea, and red wine, for at least 24-48 hours after your whitening treatment to ensure the best results.Â
If you experience sensitivity or discomfort, it’s usually temporary. Use a toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth, and if the discomfort persists, contact us for advice on how to alleviate the symptoms.Â
