What is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening safely lightens the natural colour of your teeth.
You use custom-made trays at home with a dentist-prescribed whitening gel. The trays are made from a mould of your teeth, so they fit comfortably and hold the gel evenly in place.
Whitening only works on natural teeth. It won’t change the colour of crowns, veneers, or fillings.

Am I suitable for teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is suitable for most adults with healthy teeth and gums.
It works on natural teeth, so if you have crowns, veneers, or large fillings on front teeth, the colour of those won’t change.
Whitening isn’t usually recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for anyone under 18.
We’ll assess your teeth during your exam and confirm whether whitening is right for you before you begin.
How long does it take to get white teeth?
Most patients begin to notice visible improvement within 2 weeks of consistent at home use. Results are gradual and designed to look natural rather than artificial.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
With proper care, professional teeth whitening results typically last 12-24 months. Patients can purchase additional gels and top up from home if needed.
We provide detailed aftercare instructions and offer touch-up treatments to maintain your brightness.
How many teeth whitening treatments will I need?
Most patients complete one course of whitening using their custom trays at home over 2 weeks, depending on staining and desired shade.
Is teeth whitening safe for my tooth enamel?
Yes, when performed by qualified dental professionals using approved whitening gels, teeth whitening is safe and does not damage tooth enamel. Our procedures are designed to protect your teeth while achieving optimal whiteness.
Will I experience sensitivity after treatment?
Some patients may experience mild tooth sensitivity following whitening treatment. This is typically temporary and can be managed with special toothpaste and post-treatment care recommendations.
How many shades whiter can my teeth become?
Most patients achieve 3-8 shades of improvement with professional whitening treatment. The exact results depend on your starting tooth shade and the type of staining present.
How much does professional teeth whitening cost?
The cost of professional teeth whitening is £350. This is a fixed price for the full treatment, rather than a per-session charge.
Most patients achieve noticeable results after one course of whitening, although some may choose to extend their treatment for a brighter finish, depending on their goals.
