Summer is (almost) on its way! After being cooped up inside for what seems like forever, we’re all set to emerge, blinking into the sunlight…
May is usually a time when we all assess how we look and feel after months of hibernation. Some might not go as far as to be ‘beach body ready’, there’s no denying that the prospect of sunshine and blue skies makes us all want to be at our very best.
It’s also the start of wedding season so there’s a good chance some of us may be coaxed into a few more photographs than usual. Winning smiles at the ready!
Indeed, whitening your teeth can be a good way to refresh your look. While tooth whitening has been around for a long time – some say the ancient Egyptians were at it 4,000 years ago! – what really brought the treatment into its own was the Covid-19 pandemic. The effect of Zoom and Teams calls triggered many to scrutinise their appearance in a way they hadn’t before. Tooth whitening is now one of the largest growing cosmetic procedures in the UK, with the industry now estimated to be worth over £40m annually.
So, what does professional whitening involve? The active ingredient we use is typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide and we use it at much higher percentages than the products you can buy over the counter. We apply it to the teeth using a specially made tray which fits into your mouth like a mouthguard. This treatment can usually be done within two to four weeks at home, with or without in-practice sessions too.
The idea that teeth in their own right are perfectly white is a myth. Enamel – the hard outer layer of every tooth – has a natural hue of white. However, the underlying dentine – the softer inner layer – has a slightly yellowish colour and shows through the enamel in almost everyone. Bright white teeth don’t look natural, whatever the winners of Love Island may say! Indeed, a change of just two or three shades can make a noticeable difference.
Don’t forget that a white smile can improve your overall oral health. When you invest in teeth whitening, you are more likely to take better care of your teeth.

Can chipped teeth be fixed without braces? In this latest Two Thirty episode, Carol explains that the answer depends on why the tooth chipped in the first place.
Sometimes teeth chip because of the way they meet or their position. In these cases, orthodontic treatment may be recommended to move the teeth into a healthier position and help prevent further damage.
For many chips, a simple and effective option is composite bonding - carefully adding tooth-coloured material to rebuild the shape and restore your smile.

Your future smile could start this month.
Our clear aligner teeth straightening promotion includes free consultation appointments over the next four weeks, rather than just one day - making it easier to find a time that suits you.

Bleeding gums are never something to ignore. In this latest Two Thirty episode, Richard explains how gum disease often starts as gingivitis - where the gums become swollen and may bleed - but with the right care, this early stage can often be reversed.
If left untreated, gum disease can progress and may lead to bone loss around the teeth. The good news is that regular hygiene visits and good home care can make a real difference.
Watch the video to learn the signs to look out for and how we can help you maintain a healthy smile.

Lottie told us she never used to show her teeth when she smiled.
After completing her Invisalign treatment with Yasmin, she now loves smiling with confidence and showing her teeth.
We’re so pleased to have been part of her journey - and grateful for her lovely recommendation of Evolve Dentistry.
If you’ve been hiding your smile, we’d love to help. Message us to book a consultation.

A lovely evening spent together outside the practice. Last night the Evolve team enjoyed a delicious meal at Aqua in Portishead - a chance to relax, catch up and celebrate the people who make Evolve such a special place to work and visit.
We’re proud of the warm, caring team culture we’ve built, and evenings like this are a great reminder that behind every appointment is a team who genuinely enjoy working together.
Thank you to Aqua for a wonderful evening and fantastic food.
