Tooth Whitening at Dental 397 Exeter
Are you conscious some or all of your teeth are discoloured or stained? Do you feel embarrassed to smile sometimes?
At Dental 397, we provide professional teeth whitening to remove stains caused naturally over time and artificially by smoking, coffee and other methods.
With our choice of two simple treatments, we balance the colour of your teeth and achieve a naturally whiter smile of up to 10 shades difference.
Teeth whitening is a treatment carried out to reverse the effects of teeth discolouration, which naturally occurs over time. It can restore youth to a beautiful smile.
Teeth whitening treatment options
Option 1 – Power Whitening and home whitening combination treatment
This is a power teeth whitening treatment carried out at our clinic and gives immediate results. It is safe, effective and fast. It is ideal for the busy individual. A gel is applied to the teeth, which is then accelerated by the lamp.
By the end of the 1 hour appointment the teeth are considerably lighter. This is then followed by a home kit for top ups and maintaining that white, bright smile.
Option 2: Home whitening
Customised trays are made, filled with the whitening gel and worn for 3hours daily or overnight for 2-3 weeks to give a beautiful white smile.
This gives you the flexibility to maintain the new colour of your teeth and never let your smile fade.
At Dental 397, we use the Enlighten teeth whitening system to give you the smile you deserve.

We arrange a review appointment 3 weeks later to record your tooth colour and desensitize your teeth.

I have a single dark tooth. Will teeth whitening work for me?
You may choose to whiten a single dark tooth or to improve the colour of all your teeth. This technique has been safely used in dentistry for well over 50 years and most people can achieve a result that is several shades lighter than their existing colour.
