Teeth Whitening

At Define Clinic, we personally believe that the Enlighten system is far superior to other competitor whitening products, both at home and in-clinic. With worldwide acclaim, Enlighten can lift discolouration by up to ten shades, with enduring and lasting effect. While teeth whitening often causes concern for increased tooth sensitivity, the Enlighten serum is both a powerful whitening agent and a low-risk option, with a low-concentration of harmful chemicals. It also contains a desensitising solution as part of the unique process. We offer Enlighten treatments in the clinic or at home depending on your personal convenience, and can effectively tailor your treatment anywhere to achieve your desired results.

Although Enlighten is a superior anti-sensitivity teeth whitening system, our teeth can become more sensitive generally if it is prone to discolouration below the enamel. If you do experience tooth sensitivity, it is important to let us at DEFINE know before we go ahead with your teeth whitening treatment. This way, we can tailor your whitening system to deliver the best results, without compromising on your oral health.

To manage sensitivity, we recommend using a soft-bristled brush and specialist dental products such as Sensodyne or Colgate Pro-Sensitive, which we find are excellent at reducing the symptoms of sensitive teeth. Avoiding coffee, red wine, or smoking, which are all known to discolour teeth, can help prolong the effects of the treatment. Long term “topping” up of your whitened teeth is important to maintain and even slightly improve the results over a long period of time and to counteract the ongoing effects of lifestyle and food staining, as well as the natural yellowing of your teeth as they get older.

Costs can be as little as £250 for a home whitening system, up to £900 for the most comprehensive and successful procedures such as the Enlighten system. Often a thorough hygienist visit and ‘jet’ polishing procedure, costing as little as £100, can produce dramatic results.
