The science behind 360 Whitening in Newcastle

360 Whitening uses a mild carbamide peroxide formula to penetrate the enamel and dentine of your teeth to brighten them from the inside out. It doesn't use any stripping agents or damage the enamel in any way.

The dual action of 360 Whitening gel lightens your teeth from within while simultaneously removing surface stains. The unique gel breaks down to form oxygen ions that safely penetrate deep into your teeth giving a brighter, whiter smile.

This process takes some time, so be sure to complete the treatment as directed. The result will be a long-lasting, natural look that enhances your overall appearance.

The 360 Whitening system is designed with your comfort in mind:

Frequently asked questions about teeth whitening in Newcastle and Northumberland

Is teeth whitening safe?

360 Whitening is completely safe, and the ingredients used in the treatment have been trusted in the field of dentistry for over 100 years. Your teeth may feel some sensitivity after treatment, but you will be provided with a special toothpaste to help with that. All our whitening treatments are supervised by dental professionals at our practices across Newcastle and Northumberland.

How long do teeth whitening results last?

Results can last indefinitely with a little maintenance. You can use your custom trays for one night every other month to keep up your beautiful results. Of course, eating staining foods like tomato-based dishes, curries, red wine, or coffee can affect the colour of your teeth - especially right after treatment. During your appointment at any of our locations in Alnwick, Ashington, Quayside, or West Road, we can provide personalised advice on how to prolong your treatment results.

How white will my teeth get?

Most patients achieve a significant improvement in tooth brightness, typically 5-8 shades lighter than their starting colour. The final result depends on your natural tooth structure and the initial level of discolouration. During your consultation, we can discuss realistic expectations based on your specific situation.

Can anyone have teeth whitening treatment?

Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are suitable candidates for professional teeth whitening. However, the treatment is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children under 18, or individuals with certain dental conditions such as untreated decay or gum disease. We'll assess your suitability during your initial consultation at any of our Newcastle or Northumberland practices.

Will whitening affect my fillings, crowns, or veneers?

Teeth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, so existing dental restorations like fillings, crowns, or veneers will not change colour. If you have visible restorations, we may discuss options for achieving a uniform appearance after whitening, which might include replacing older restorations to match your new shade.

Can I whiten my teeth during orthodontic treatment?

We generally recommend completing your orthodontic treatment before beginning teeth whitening. This ensures even whitening results across all tooth surfaces. However, in some cases, limited whitening may be possible during treatment. Discuss your specific situation with our specialists at your next appointment.

How soon will I see results?

Most patients begin to notice a difference after the first few days of using the at-home whitening trays. The full results will be visible after completing the entire treatment protocol, including the final in-office session. For optimal results, it's important to follow the treatment instructions carefully.

Is the treatment painful?

The 360 Whitening system is designed to minimise sensitivity. While some patients may experience temporary sensitivity during or after treatment, this is typically mild and resolves quickly. We provide special desensitising toothpaste as part of your treatment kit to help manage any discomfort.
