Teeth Whitening by Dentist

Dr Lucy Bendall BDS MFDS RCS(Eng)

Lucy qualified as a dental surgeon from the University of Birmingham in 2000 and became a member of The Royal College of Surgeons in 2003.  She has worked in the Midlands, Australia and has lived in the South West for the last 6 years.  At the moment she works 4 days a week in an NHS practice in Plymouth.

The colour of your teeth is determined by your DNA. As we get older the dentine (the substance below the enamel) changes colour, becoming more yellow. Teeth also become stained by the foods and drinks we consume.

Teeth whitening is a procedure which has been scientifically proven to be safe and very effective in altering the colour of teeth.  It improves the appearance of your teeth without removing any of the tooth’s natural surface.  As it does not change the colour of crowns, bridges, dentures or tooth-coloured fillings it is not suitable for everyone.

Lucy carries out the most popular and predictable method of whitening.  This involves taking moulds of your teeth and wearing the bleaching material in customised trays at home, usually at night, until the desired shade is reached.

A whiter smile is equated with youth and wellness and gives people a sense of improved self-esteem. This will compliment many of the other treatments available at Hyde Park Clinic.

Lucy is available for consultation at Hyde Park Clinic on Fridays.  Please call to arrange an appointment.
