Teeth Whitening
A brighter smile can make a real difference to how confident you feel. Our professional teeth whitening treatment is carried out under the guidance of our dental team, using proven techniques to lift staining caused by tea, coffee, red wine and everyday life.
Unlike over the counter kits, our whitening treatment is tailored to you, with your dentist checking your teeth and gums beforehand to make sure whitening is a suitable option. We will talk you through what to expect, so you can achieve noticeably whiter teeth in a safe and controlled way.
How Our Whitening Treatment Works
We offer take home whitening kits, custom made for your teeth, along with guidance on how to use them safely and effectively. Your dentist will take impressions to create bespoke whitening trays, then talk you through a schedule for applying the whitening gel at home.
Many patients notice a visible improvement within a couple of weeks, though results vary depending on your starting shade and lifestyle habits such as smoking or drinking tea and coffee. We are always on hand to answer questions throughout your treatment.
Is Teeth Whitening Right For You?
Teeth whitening works best on natural, healthy teeth and is not suitable for crowns, veneers or fillings, which do not respond to whitening gel in the same way. During a consultation, your dentist will check whether whitening is appropriate for you and discuss realistic expectations for your results.
We only offer whitening treatments that are safe and compliant with UK regulations, using products carried out under professional dental supervision. If you have any sensitivity or dental concerns, please let us know so we can tailor your treatment plan accordingly.
Will teeth whitening damage my enamel?
When carried out properly under professional guidance, teeth whitening does not damage healthy enamel. We assess your teeth before treatment to check whitening is suitable, and provide clear instructions to help you use your whitening kit safely at home.
Can everyone have their teeth whitened?
Whitening is not suitable for everyone. It is generally not recommended during pregnancy or for anyone under 18, and it may not be appropriate if you have certain dental conditions. Your dentist will assess your teeth and gums first to check if whitening is a good option for you.
Will whitening work on crowns or veneers?
Whitening gel only works on natural tooth enamel, so it will not change the colour of crowns, veneers or fillings. If you have restorations at the front of your mouth, your dentist can talk you through options to help your smile look even once your natural teeth have been whitened.
Is teeth whitening painful?
Some patients notice mild, temporary sensitivity to hot or cold during their whitening treatment, but this is usually manageable and settles down once treatment finishes. If you experience any discomfort, let us know and we can adjust your treatment plan.
Can I have whitening if I have sensitive teeth?
Yes, in many cases whitening can still be an option if you have sensitive teeth. Your dentist will discuss your sensitivity with you beforehand and may recommend a gentler whitening concentration or additional care to keep you comfortable throughout treatment.
Do I need a check up before having my teeth whitened?
Yes, we recommend a dental check up before starting whitening treatment. This allows your dentist to check for decay or gum disease and treat any issues first, so your whitening treatment is both safe and effective.
Are home whitening kits from shops safe to use?
Many over the counter whitening products contain very low levels of whitening ingredient and are not tailored to your teeth, so results can be inconsistent. Having whitening carried out through your dentist means your treatment is supervised and suited to your individual needs.
