Teeth whitening
No matter how diligently you brush, floss and attend hygiene appointments, your teeth are likely to stain gradually over time. If you’ve noticed your teeth starting to look yellow or brown and would like a whiter, brighter smile, come and see us for a free consultation.
Professional treatment
We use a professional home whitening system that is safe and easy to fit around your day. We make bespoke whitening trays from a scan of your teeth and give you a prescription whitening gel to wear in them for the time your clinician recommends, usually four to six weeks.
You’ll find our whitening fee on our membership and fees page.
Advanced whitening
Some people have more severely stained teeth such as with tetracycline staining, or individually stained teeth, which need more complex care. If you have any questions about discoloured teeth, your clinician will be happy to help.
You can help to keep your newly whitened teeth looking their best with regular visits to a dental therapist.
Why come to us for teeth whitening?
If you’ve ever seen news stories about rogue whitening practitioners, you’ll understand just how important it is to see your dentist for teeth whitening.
Only a dentist registered with the General Dental Council can legally prescribe the professional strength whitening gel needed for the results you want. We’ll only do so after a thorough examination to check your teeth and gums are healthy enough for treatment, so you can whiten with confidence.
Commonly asked questions
When the whitening gel is placed onto the teeth, reactive oxygen is released. The discoloured particles that are embedded within enamel and dentine are then chemically reduced and transformed into a colourless material.
The main side effect that any tooth whitening can cause is sensitivity. This is usually slight and temporary.
Once a lovely bright tooth shade has been achieved, this should last for two to three years. This is dependent on many factors such as oral hygiene and diet.
