Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is the fastest and least invasive way to improve your smile. We provide 2 options, home whitening and in-surgery whitening. Both can be equally effective.

Over time, teeth naturally become stained from coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and even certain medications. Our whitening treatments are designed to restore the natural brightness of your smile without damaging the enamel.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

Generally professional whitening uses active bleaching agents—hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide— effectively lifting discoloration and revealing a brighter, whiter smile.

This treatment is carefully monitored to ensure your teeth remain healthy and your results look natural.

1) Take-Home

Whiten from the comfort of home—with a treatment that’s safer and more effective than anything you'll find on the high street.

Our dentist-provided whitening kits include:

• Custom-made trays – precision-fit to your teeth for even whitening
• Professional-grade gel – stronger than over-the-counter options
• Detailed instructions – on wear time, usage frequency, and aftercare

You'll get noticeable results in just a few days, with full results in 10–14 days depending on your desired level of whitening.

2) In Surgery Whitening

Get instantly brighter teeth in just one visit. Our professional in-surgery whitening treatment is ideal if you want rapid results without the hassle of at-home trays or daily applications.

With in surgery whitening, there’s no need for mouth stents or lengthy sessions – simply sit back while your we apply the advanced whitening gel and activates it safely in-clinic.

You’ll leave the surgery with teeth that are several shades whiter in under 15 minutes, making it the perfect choice for busy individuals or anyone looking for same-day results.

Unlike take-home kits, this treatment offers immediate, noticeable whitening with maximum convenience and professional supervision, ensuring both comfort and safety throughout.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Whitening?

Whitening works best on natural tooth enamel affected by everyday staining from food, drink, and lifestyle habits. It won't change the colour of existing crowns, veneers or fillings, so if you have visible restorations at the front of your mouth, we'll talk through this with you at your assessment so your results look even and natural. Whitening isn't suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and we'll always check your teeth and gums are healthy before starting, since untreated decay or gum disease should be addressed first.

Aftercare and Maintaining Your Results

It's normal to experience mild tooth sensitivity for a day or two after whitening, which usually settles on its own. For the first 48 hours, it helps to avoid strongly coloured food and drink — tea, coffee, red wine, and curry are common culprits — as your teeth are more porous immediately after treatment and can pick up new staining more easily. Results aren't permanent; with normal exposure to food and drink, most patients find a top-up treatment every 6–12 months keeps their smile at its brightest.
