Teeth Whitening FAQ
-
The cost depends on the method:
In-office professional treatment: £700 - £900
Take-home kits from a dentist: £650
-
Teeth whitening may cause temporary sensitivity or gum irritation, especially if overused or applied incorrectly. These effects usually go away within a few days. Sensitive teeth? Talk to your dentist before whitening.
-
In-clinic whitening: 45–90 minutes
Dentist-supervised home kits: 10–14 days
Results can often be seen after just a few uses, depending on the severity of staining.
-
No. Whitening treatments only work on natural teeth. Dental restorations like crowns, veneers, and fillings will remain the same colour. If they appear discoloured, they may need to be polished or replaced.
-
To keep your teeth white, limit:
Coffee and tea
Red wine
Cola and dark sodas
Berries (like blueberries)
Tomato-based sauces
Soy sauce and balsamic vinegar
Tobacco products
Tip: Rinse your mouth or brush after consuming these items.
-

Children under 16

Always consult your dentist first to check if you're a suitable candidate.
-
No, it isn’t. Results typically last 6 months to 2 years, depending on your habits. Touch-ups may be needed periodically.
-
Results vary based on the original tooth colour and type of staining. Most people see teeth lighten by 2–8 shades. Whitening enhances your natural shade, but teeth won’t become unnaturally bright white.
What are Ceramic Braces?
Ceramic braces are made from durable materials that resist staining and discoloration, ensuring they stay looking good throughout your treatment. They are comfortable to wear, with smooth surfaces that reduce irritation to your gums and cheeks. And, ceramic braces can be customized to match your tooth colour, enhancing their discreetness. Ceramic braces offer a balance of effectiveness and aesthetics, helping you achieve a beautiful smile confidently.
Choosing ceramic braces is a great option for those who want a more discreet orthodontic treatment. They are less noticeable than traditional metal braces, making them ideal for adults and teens who are concerned about their appearance. Ceramic brackets blend with the natural colour of your teeth, providing a more aesthetic look during treatment. Despite their subtle appearance, they are just as effective at straightening teeth as metal braces.
How do Ceramic Braces work?
Ceramic braces function by using brackets attached to your teeth and a wire that applies steady pressure to shift your teeth into proper alignment. The brackets are made of clear or tooth-coloured material, making them less noticeable. Periodic adjustments help guide your teeth to their ideal position over the treatment period

What are Fixed Braces?
Fixed braces are orthodontic devices that are attached directly to your teeth using brackets and wires. They work continuously to gradually move and straighten teeth over time. Unlike removable braces, they stay in place throughout the treatment, providing consistent pressure.
Fixed braces are effective for correcting various dental issues like misalignment, gaps, and overcrowding. They can be customized for comfort and aesthetics, often using modern, less noticeable materials. Regular adjustments by an orthodontist help ensure optimal results.
Overall, fixed braces are a reliable and popular choice for achieving a healthier, more aligned smile.
How do Fixed Braces work?
Fixed braces work by applying gentle, continuous pressure to move teeth into the correct position. Brackets are bonded to each tooth, and an arch-wire guides the movement. Regular adjustments help ensure steady progress toward a straighter, healthier smile.

Fixed Braces &
Ceramic Braces FAQ
-
Treatment time varies, but most people wear fixed braces for 12 to 24 months. Your orthodontist will give you a more accurate estimate based on your individual needs.
-
No, fixed braces (including ceramic braces) are attached to your teeth and can only be removed by your orthodontist at the end of treatment.
-
You’ll need to avoid hard, sticky, and chewy foods that can damage the brace. Cut hard foods (like apples or carrots) into small pieces and choose softer foods, especially in the first few days after fittings or adjustments.
-
Brush after every meal using fluoride toothpaste and a soft toothbrush. Use interdental brushes or orthodontic cleaning tools to clean around brackets and wires. Keeping your teeth and braces clean is essential to avoid staining and decay.
-
If a bracket comes off or a wire breaks, contact your orthodontist as soon as possible. Avoid trying to fix it yourself. You can use orthodontic wax to relieve any irritation until your appointment.

Ceramic braces are designed to be much less noticeable than metal braces. They use tooth-coloured or clear brackets, making them a popular choice for those who want a more discreet option.
-
Most appointments take around 15–30 minutes, depending on what’s being done (adjustments, checks, etc.).
-
You’ll usually need to visit the orthodontist every 6 to 8 weeks for adjustments and to check progress.
-

-
Yes! You can often choose from a variety of coloured bands for your brackets. These can be changed at each appointment if you like.
-
Braces won’t damage your teeth as long as you maintain good oral hygiene. Poor cleaning can lead to staining, decay, or gum problems around the brackets.
-
No, removing the braces is painless, though you might feel a little pressure. Your teeth may feel a bit sensitive afterwards, but this quickly settles.
-
The ceramic brackets themselves don’t usually stain, but the elastic ties (bands) around them can discolour from foods and drinks like curry, coffee, tea, or red wine. These bands are replaced regularly at your adjustment appointments.
-
Yes, ceramic braces can be placed on both upper and lower teeth. However, your orthodontist may recommend using metal braces on the lower teeth in some cases, especially if there's a risk of the ceramic brackets contacting upper teeth and causing wear.
Oral Surgery
We offer a full range of oral surgery services to address complex dental issues that require more than just routine care. Whether you're experiencing severe dental pain, need wisdom teeth removed, or are considering dental implants, our expert oral surgeons are here to help restore your oral health and give you a smile you can be proud of.
We understand that oral surgery can seem daunting, but, we strive to make your experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Our team uses state-of-the-art technology and the latest surgical techniques to ensure safe, effective treatments with minimal discomfort and recovery time.
Types of Oral Surgery we offer:
-
Wisdom teeth often cause problems due to lack of space in the mouth, leading to pain, swelling, and potential damage to surrounding teeth. Our experienced oral surgeons can perform wisdom teeth extractions, whether your wisdom teeth are fully erupted or impacted. We ensure a smooth, quick recovery so you can return to your normal routine as soon as possible.
-
For patients with missing or severely damaged teeth, dental implants offer a long-lasting solution. Our oral surgeons use the latest 3D imaging technology to place implants precisely, ensuring a natural fit. The titanium implants are embedded into the jawbone, providing a secure foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Whether you're replacing one tooth or multiple, dental implants are a reliable and effective choice.
-
In some cases, a tooth may need to be removed due to damage, decay, or overcrowding. We offer both simple and surgical extractions, depending on the condition of the tooth. We aim to make the process as comfortable as possible with local anaesthesia and, if needed, sedation options.
-
In cases where there is insufficient bone in the jaw to support implants, we offer bone grafting procedures. By grafting bone material into the jaw, we can rebuild lost bone, making it possible to place dental implants successfully. Bone grafting is commonly done in conjunction with implant surgery.
-
If you suffer from gum disease or other soft tissue issues, gum surgery may be required to restore the health of your gums. We offer a range of treatments to address gum recession, infections, or injuries, all while maintaining a focus on comfort and healing.
