Are you looking to brighten your smile? At Vermilion, we offer professional teeth whitening services and at-home whitening kits in Edinburgh and Kelso to help you achieve a whiter, healthier-looking smile. Our expert team is dedicated to providing safe, effective treatments tailored to your needs.
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental treatment designed to enhance the appearance of your smile by removing stains and discolouration from the tooth surface. This non-invasive procedure can significantly brighten your teeth without altering their shape, making it a sought-after option for those looking to boost their confidence and self-esteem.
At Vermilion, we offer both professional teeth whitening treatments in our dental practice and convenient take-home kits, ensuring you achieve a radiant smile in a way that suits your lifestyle. Whether you opt for in-surgery whitening or home tooth whitening, our goal is to help you achieve a brighter, whiter smile with the utmost care and professionalism.
Teeth whitening has become a popular cosmetic treatment for those wanting a brighter smile. However, it is crucial to have teeth whitening treatments prescribed by a dentist or regulated dental care professional, ensuring both safety and effectiveness. While DIY kits are available online, they can pose health risks.
This is the most popular choice for those seeking immediate results. Our in-surgery whitening treatment involves the application of a 6% hydrogen peroxide gel and is carried out by our dental hygienists.
What to Expect:
To maintain your bright smile, we recommend topping up your treatment every three to six months.
If you prefer a gradual approach, our at-home tooth whitening option is perfect for you.
What to Expect:
Teeth whitening is a prescribed treatment that should always be supervised by a dental professional. At Vermilion, we prioritise your safety and satisfaction with the expertise of our three in-house dental hygienists who guide you through every step of your whitening journey.
While over-the-counter products may seem appealing, they often contain minimal hydrogen peroxide (no more than 0.1%), resulting in negligible effects. Additionally, long-term use of abrasive whitening toothpastes can damage tooth enamel and cause it to yellow.
Boosts Confidence and Self-Esteem: A whiter smile can significantly enhance your overall appearance, making you feel more confident in social and professional settings.
Quick and Easy: Teeth whitening is a straightforward procedure that can deliver noticeable results in a short amount of time.
Budget-Friendly: Teeth whitening offers a more affordable option for enhancing your smile when compared to other cosmetic dental treatments.

Special Occasions: Perfect for preparing for weddings, job interviews, or any event where you want to look your best.
Oral Health Benefits: Some whitening gels can help kill bacteria that cause gum disease and tooth decay, contributing to better oral health.

Tooth whitening works by applying a whitening gel to the teeth, which contains active ingredients that break down discoloured molecules on the tooth surface. This process effectively removes stains and discolouration, revealing a brighter smile. Here is how it typically works:
The in-surgery teeth whitening treatment typically takes about two hours. This includes the application of the whitening gel and the use of a special light to enhance results.
Results can last from six months to a year, depending on your oral hygiene habits and lifestyle. Regular touch-ups and maintenance can help prolong the brightness of your smile.
Yes, professional teeth whitening is safe when administered by a qualified dentist or dental hygienist. We ensure that your oral health is evaluated before proceeding with treatment.
Most people are suitable candidates for teeth whitening. However, individuals with very sensitive teeth or other dental issues, such as decay or gum disease, may not be recommended for whitening treatments until teeth are restored. We recommend a consultation with our team to assess your oral health and discuss your specific needs.
We recommend scheduling a dental hygiene appointment prior to your whitening treatment. This helps ensure that your gums are healthy and that all plaque and tartar are removed.
Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks after treatment. This usually subsides quickly.
Teeth whitening treatments only affect natural teeth. If you have restorations, we can discuss options to ensure a consistent shade across your smile.
To keep your teeth looking their best after whitening, it’s important to adopt good oral hygiene practices and make mindful lifestyle choices. Here are some tips to help maintain your bright smile:
Remember, tooth whitening is not a permanent solution. Periodic touch-ups may be necessary to maintain your desired level of whiteness. Your dentist can provide personalised advice on how to keep your smile looking its best and recommend the best maintenance plan for your needs.
