Hello Mason,

Thank you for your post.

After removal of braces, teeth can look stained and discoloured. Many people decide to have teeth whitening to whiten and brighten their new smile.

You can also have your teeth whitened. The fillings you have on your front teeth do not whiten and will probably need replacing. Fillings should be replaced after teeth whitening in order to match the new colour to the teeth.

You will probably also need a hygiene session before starting teeth whitening. Teeth whitening options include home, zoom and combination whitening. The best treatment is usually combination teeth whitening as it is quick and effective. Please contact the practise for a free teeth whitening consultation.
