Teeth Whitening
Professional in-clinic whitening that brightens your smile by several shades — safe, effective and longer-lasting than over-the-counter products.
What is teeth whitening?
Professional teeth whitening removes stains and discolouration caused by food, drinks, tobacco and ageing — leaving teeth several shades brighter. In-clinic whitening produces faster, more even and longer-lasting results than over-the-counter products.
Whitening works on natural tooth enamel only — not on crowns, veneers or composite fillings. We will advise you at your consultation.
When is it suitable?
- Staining from tea, coffee, red wine or tobacco
- General yellowing due to ageing
- Before a special occasion — wedding, event, interview
- When you want a confidence boost for your smile
- After scaling and cleaning for best results
How the procedure works
Examination
We check your teeth are suitable for whitening and that gums are healthy.
Scaling if needed
Teeth are cleaned and scaled beforehand for best results.
Gum protection
A barrier gel is applied to protect your gums from the whitening agent.
Whitening gel application
Professional-grade whitening gel is applied evenly to all teeth.
Result assessment
Results are typically 2–4 shades lighter in a single session.
Frequently asked questions
How long do the results last?
Results typically last 1–2 years with good oral hygiene. Avoiding staining foods and drinks, and occasional top-up treatment, will extend the result.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes. Professional whitening is safe when done correctly by a qualified dentist. Some patients experience temporary sensitivity for a day or two which resolves on its own.
Will it make my teeth sensitive?
Mild, temporary sensitivity is possible for 24–48 hours. We use professional-grade products that minimise this effect.
Can anyone get whitening?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are suitable. We do not recommend whitening during pregnancy or for patients under 18. A quick consultation will confirm suitability.
