Tooth whitening in Ormskirk: getting ready for the festive season

The festive season is literally just around the corner and we’re all excited to kick-back, relax and enjoy the festivities. Why not gift yourself a little earlier, or gift one of your friends or family members, by getting them (or yourself) tooth whitening in Ormskirk? This means that you’ll be ready for the numerous Christmas photos, work and family functions.

Why should I consider tooth whitening in Ormskirk?

There are many foods, drinks and even certain kinds of medication that can stain your pearly whites. Red wine, smoking, coffee, or tea, for example, can stain your teeth over a period of time. Tooth whitening helps you regain your confidence by brightening your chompers and minimising the effects of staining. Let this festive season be the year that you finally enjoy the annual Christmas party at work, without worrying about what your grin will look like in photos.

What can I expect when I get my teeth whitened?

The first thing you can expect at our Parbold Dental practice is to be met by friendly and professional staff. Our team will run you through what you can expect during your consultation. This is the perfect time to talk to our team and have them answer any questions or concerns you may have.

During your consultation, we’ll run you through the two types of teeth whitening options we offer in Ormskirk: power whitening and home whitening.

What’s the difference between power whitening and home whitening?

When you decide to have power whitening done at our practice, we’ll schedule you to come in and the procedure will be done at our practice by one of our team. You can expect to have a barrier that is used to protect your gums and lips. A gel will then be applied to your teeth which becomes activated only when a special lamp is put directly over the teeth. As you wait in the dentist’s chair for around an hour, you can relax knowing that your teeth are being bleached and getting ready for the Christmas season.

If you prefer to brighten your teeth from the comforts of your own home, then the home whitening option is best for you. A light plastic tray that is unique for your mouth and dental structure will be created for you. You’ll be fitted for it and can be certain that it will fit snugly around your teeth. As you put the whitening gel into the plastic trays each night, or at certain times of the day, you’ll leave the tray on and allow the gel to work on your teeth. In about two weeks, you should see results from your home kit.

Start the festive prep now

Get ahead of the festive prep and start ticking things off of your to-do list. By brightening your teeth in advance, it’s one less thing to worry about and you’ll feel more confident and relaxed going into Christmas and the New Year.
