Teeth Whitening
Whitening your teeth can increase your confidence when you smile!
Whether it’s in your personal or professional life, first impressions matter, and a friendly, vibrant smile can go a long way towards making a positive impact.
The reason why not everyone has yellow teeth is diverse: some may regularly consume coffee or tea, while others may be smokers or taking medications that cause tooth discoloration. Regardless of the cause of discolored teeth, you don’t have to let it affect your confidence and keep you from showing off your best smile.
Thanks to the latest advancements in teeth whitening technology, you can now easily and safely achieve a bright and beautiful smile. With various options available whether in-practice or at-home treatments, you can opt for dental whitening treatments recommended by your dentist to achieve powerful yet safe results.

What is the difference between home and in-chair teeth whitening?
In-chair whitening is carried out at the practice using a high-concentration gel under professional supervision, giving fast results. Home whitening uses custom-made trays and a gel you wear at home over a few weeks. Both use professional products only available from a dental professional. Your dentist will help you choose based on your goals and lifestyle.
Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Yes, teeth whitening is safe when carried out or prescribed by a dental professional. In the UK, only dentists, hygienists and dental therapists can legally carry out tooth whitening. Some people get mild sensitivity during treatment, which usually settles soon after. Your dentist will check your teeth and gums before you start.
Is professional whitening better than whitening products from the shop?
Shop-bought whitening toothpastes, strips and gels can remove some surface stains, but they are usually less effective than professional treatment. Professional whitening uses stronger products, custom-fitted trays and a dental check first, so results are more noticeable and your teeth and gums are protected.
Will whitening change the colour of my crowns or fillings?
No. Whitening only lightens natural teeth. It does not change the colour of crowns, veneers, bonding or fillings. If you have these at the front of your mouth, your dentist may suggest whitening first and then matching or replacing them with composite bonding or veneers afterwards.
