Our dentists at Torrington dental practice have up to 20 years experience in tooth whitening and we use only the most up to date methods available for the people of North Devon. Our professional knowledge of the different techniques available allows us to choose the most appropriate treatment for individual patients.
As with many cosmetic procedures there is a lot of misleading information in the media about dental whitening.

The technique we usually recommend – Night Time Vital Whitening, has been in use for over 30 years and is the only technique validated by the American Dental Association, as being effective, safe, and long lasting. It is a relatively simple technique in which close fitting custom-made dental-whitening trays are constructed for the patient and a mild peroxide gel is used in them, usually overnight, to whiten the teeth. The full effect usually takes 2-4 weeks; other faster techniques are available but the effects are usually not as long lasting and are more likely to cause side effects.

In addition the simplicity of this technique allows us to keep our prices low: from only £250 for both upper and lower arches and £200 for just the upper. The effects (if not topped up) will last between 18 – 36 months before the teeth return to their original condition. The cost of a top up is limited to the cost of extra whitening gel about £20 and is likely to need doing only once a year to maintain a bright smile.
