Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment which involves bleaching your teeth to make them whiter. The best way to keep your smile healthy and bright is to look after your teeth and gums, but it’s not unusual to need a little help.
You might consider teeth whitening for different reasons. Your teeth can lose their whiteness with age but can also become stained by smoking or drinking lots of tea, coffee or red wine.
Fortunately, our professional whitening treatments quickly and safely remove stains, without damaging your teeth. We’ve seen thousands of patients grow in confidence thanks to a brighter, whiter smile.
We provide two teeth whitening options at practices across the UK: in practice whitening applied by a dentist, and teeth whitening kits to use at home.
Laser technology is the most modern way of whitening teeth. The process takes 20 minutes for your top and bottom teeth.
An instantaneous improvement in the colour of teeth occurs due to the laser. This treatment is the fastest procedure to enjoy great results.
You’ll need to have a consultation* to check you’re suitable for whitening treatment. If you’re eligible, your dentist will discuss which whitening option might suit you best, and the associated cost.
If you’re unsuitable for treatment, you could consider composite bonding, veneers or crowns for particularly discoloured or damaged teeth. Your dentist will explain your options during your consultation.
If you take good care of your teeth after treatment, professional whitening can last for some time. To maximise its effects, we recommend:
Top-up kits are also available to maintain your new smile. Your dentist will explain how to care for your smile after treatment.
This option could make your teeth up to six shades whiter in just an hour‡.
Your dentist will apply the gel and use a special blue light to amplify the whitening process, giving quick results.
Your dentist will give you a teeth whitening kit, with trays and gel, to take home. The tray should be worn as recommended by your dentist and most people wear them overnight. It may take a few weeks to achieve the shade of white you’re looking for.
Home whitening is also provided as a top-up after whitening at the practice.
We use the Enlighten tooth whitening system as it’s been proven to be highly effective and can lighten teeth to the whitest and brightest shade. Treatment is simple and effective and can be completed in just a few straightforward steps over a short period of time.
On average after two weeks you will return to see our Dentist to assess the success of treatment. At this stage you can choose to have a booster treatment at our clinic. This uses a higher strength of whitening gel to help maximise the whiteness of your new smile. Once treatment is complete you can prolong the results by using Enlightens evo-white stain removing toothpaste. Tooth whitening is not permanent. But all you need to do is maintain the results periodically, using your custom-made whitening trays and top up at home.
If you are interested in tooth whitening then you will need a full consultation with one of our Dentists. They will need to examine your teeth and gums to make sure you are suitable for tooth whitening.
Our Dentists can also explain the type of results that can be reasonably achieved, as some shades of teeth will bleach more easily. Certain teeth might not respond to bleaching, for example if they have darkened due to root canal treatment. If this is the case, then we may recommend covering up these teeth with veneers so they blend in with your newly whitened smile.
