About teeth whitening

Tea, coffee, turmeric and time all leave their mark on enamel. Professional whitening uses a stronger, dentist-applied gel than anything sold over the counter, with your gums protected throughout.

We check your teeth first, because whitening won't change fillings or crowns — and we tell you honestly what result to expect.

This may be suitable if you have

  • Yellowing from tea, coffee or smoking
  • Teeth that have darkened with age
  • Brightening before a wedding or an event
  • Planning veneers and wanting the best base shade

How treatment works

  1. Check and clean

    We make sure your teeth are healthy enough to whiten and record your starting shade.

  2. Whiten

    Your gums are protected, then the gel is applied in timed cycles while you relax.

  3. Compare

    We match the new shade against the guide and send you home with aftercare.

Frequently asked questions

Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?

Some people feel mild sensitivity for a day or two. We apply a desensitising gel straight afterwards and can adjust the gel strength if you are prone to it.

How long does the result last?

Typically one to two years, depending on tea, coffee and smoking. A short top-up with home trays keeps it bright.

Will it whiten my crowns and fillings?

No — whitening only works on natural enamel. If you have visible fillings or crowns, we plan around them first.
