Tooth Whitening at
Brighton Implant Clinic
Tooth whitening is a simple, safe and effective method of creating a whiter and brighter smile.
Years of staining from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco and food products can disappear using a
tooth whitening treatment. Results can be seen instantly using the laser tooth whitening system
or, if you prefer, a tooth whitening take-home solution.

As you age, you may begin to notice that your
teeth aren’t quite the same shade of white that
they were in your youth. Typically, noticeable
discoloration begins in the late 20s and early
30s, and a variety of factors can speed up the
discoloration process including chemical staining
from drinking caffeine and smoking; a genetic
predisposition to early yellowing; and the onset of
gum and tooth disease. Brighton Implant Clinic
will match your current tooth color to their charts
and show the number of shades you can expect
to improve through a variety of tooth whitening
treatments that are available either in the surgery,
or at home. The level of whiteness that can be
achieved will depend on the level of discoloration
of the teeth and how they came to be stained.
At Brighton Implant Clinic, all of the dentists are
highly trained in cosmetic dental procedures
such as tooth whitening. They offer both ‘in
the chair’ whitening treatments, as well as
home-whitening solutions. With tooth whitening
carried out in the chair, the dentist will use a
laser/LED light to activate a special gel which
is applied to your teeth. This provides instant
results with a few applications and teeth will
usually appear 4-5 shades lighter after this
treatment. The main advantage of this treatment
is that the results are immediate. With homewhitening kits, special trays are made in a dental
laboratory; an overnight gel is applied to these

custom trays, which are then worn overnight.
The gel works to remove pigments and stains
on teeth and although the process takes a little
longer, it will usually achieve the same amount
of whitening as the in-chair solution. In-chair
‘Zoom whitening’ costs £295, while at-home
whitening trays are priced at £195
Brighton Implant Clinic & Advanced Dentistry
was established in 2009, in Hove, and now
has branches in Hove, Brighton, Worthing and
Hailsham.
These welcoming clinics feature state-of-the-art
facilities, the latest in dental technologies, and
speedy treatment plans at affordable prices.
Dr Bruno Silva, who founded the clinic, started
placing implants in 2003 and became more
interested in dental implant treatment after seeing
the advantages that this treatment provided for
patients with missing teeth. Bruno leads a team
of experienced, friendly and professional dental
nurses, technicians and administrative staff
across each of the five Sussex-based clinics.
The Brighton Implant Clinic facilities were
awarded ‘Best Practice Award’ at the Private
Dentistry Awards in 2009 and ‘Most Attractive
Practice’ in 2010.
