So as James Arthur wins the X factor 2012 it seems that it is almost compulsory for anyone that is on mainstream television to have their teeth whitened. This report in the Daily Mail shows almost the entire cast of finalists in the X factor queueing up for teeth whitening at a London clinic. But why is this? Why do so many celebrities go for teeth whitening?
It’s pretty simple really, having your teeth whitened is one of the few elective treatments in dentistry which can be done on almost everyone. It is also one of the fastest ways to make a great change to the way your smile looks. If your teeth are dark or yellow then you may be embarrassed to smile, having whiter teeth (even if they are crooked) will work to increase your confidence no end… And it seems that this is why so many celebrities have teeth whitening to increase their confidence whilst on TV.
Without actually being present it’s almost impossible to say, however one of the likely treatments is home teeth whitening. The length of time this takes depends upon which whitening system the dental practice chooses to use, however it is common for the treatment to take from a few days to a couple of weeks so long as you where the whitening trays for the prescribed length of time each day.
The process involves having some custom made whitening trays which fit exactly over your teeth, into these thin shell trays you will apply a small amount of special dental hydrogen peroxide gel which will gently lighten your teeth over the determined period.
The whitening trays are designed specially to prevent the hydrogen peroxide whitening gel from coming into contact with your gums. If this happens then damage to your sensitive gum area can take place, so always make sure that you have your teeth whitening performed at a dental practice and not with anyone that isn’t dentally trained.
If James Arthur had dental veneers or crowns then the whitening would not have worked. Teeth whitening only works on your natural teeth and does not work on crowns or veneers. If you have existing dental crowns or veneers, and want tooth whitening, then you need to speak to your dentist as these restorations will need to be replaced. Generally what happens is that we whiten your teeth first, then once you are happy with the shade of your teeth we can make new crowns and veneers to match this lighter colour.
This allows you to control how white your teeth go and then we simply make the new restorations to match this colour. You may find that you need to top up your teeth whitening at regular intervals to ensure that your teeth stay the same colour as any crowns or veneers that have been made.

As James Arthur goes out into the world of TV celebrity, we wish him all the best and hope that he continues to enjoy his whiter teeth!

✨ “I’d definitely recommend Evolve.” ✨
When David first came to see us, he was unhappy with the appearance of his teeth and felt self-conscious about how wonky they looked.
He told us that his confidence had been affected so much that he would often keep his mouth closed when talking.
Like many patients, David was nervous about starting treatment, but our team took the time to listen, answer his questions and support him every step of the way.
Using teeth straightening followed by composite bonding, we helped David achieve the smile he had always wanted - and in just 9 months.
For David, the biggest change wasn’t just his teeth. It was feeling confident enough to smile, speak and be himself again.
Thank you, David, for trusting us with your smile and for sharing your experience.

🦷 How often should you visit the dentist?
It’s one of the questions we’re asked most often, and the answer might surprise you.
Many people assume everyone should visit every six months, but that’s not always the case. Some patients may only need to see us every 12 months, while others benefit from more frequent visits every three or four months.
The right interval depends on factors such as your oral health, risk of tooth decay, gum health and any ongoing treatment.
In today’s Two Thirty video, Richard explains why dental review appointments are tailored to each individual and how regular visits help us spot potential problems before they become bigger issues.
Take a look at the video to learn more, and if you’re unsure when your next review is due, our team will be happy to help.

✨ Why are so many patients choosing Angel Aligners? ✨
If you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth but are worried about noticeable braces, Angel Aligners could be the perfect solution.
In today’s video, Yasmin explains why patients love Angel Aligners. The clear aligners are comfortable, removable and incredibly discreet, meaning most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.
But it’s not just patients who love them.
As a dentist, Yasmin values the flexibility Angel Aligners provide. By carefully placing attachments on the teeth, she can achieve precise movements and help treat more complex cases than many people realise.
The result? A straighter smile with a treatment that fits around your everyday life.
Watch the video below to hear Yasmin explain why Angel Aligners have become such a popular choice for patients looking to transform their smile.

Are dental X-rays safe? 🤔
It’s one of the questions we’re asked most often - and in this video, Richard explains why modern dental X-rays use very low levels of radiation and play an important role in protecting your oral health.
Dental X-rays help us spot problems that may not be visible during a normal examination, including decay between teeth, infections, bone loss and other hidden issues - often before they become more serious.
At Evolve Dentistry, we only recommend X-rays when clinically necessary and always keep radiation exposure as low as possible.

Today is World Environment Day 🌍
At Evolve Dentistry, we’re always looking at ways we can reduce our environmental impact while continuing to provide high-quality patient care.
Over the years, we’ve introduced a number of changes within the practice
🦷 Using digital scanners instead of traditional impressions
📄 Reducing paper usage through digital systems and communication
☕ Choosing paper cups rather than plastic alternatives
🌱 Using environmentally friendly materials and products where we can
Modern dentistry is constantly evolving, and we believe small changes can make a big difference over time.
Thank you to our patients for supporting a practice that is always striving to improve - not just for our patients, but for the environment too. 💚
