Teeth Whitening
A Brighter, Whiter Smile
If you would like a brighter smile, to remove stains, or simply want whiter teeth, Teeth Whitening is an ideal solution. This safe and effective method involves lightening the colour of your existing teeth to enhance their brightness.
In our practice, we provide a swift and professional Teeth Whitening procedure that delivers long-lasting results.
You can schedule a complimentary consultation with us, during which we will address any queries you may have and evaluate your dental well-being for the procedure. Depending on the suitability of your moulds for the whitening trays, you may initiate the process on the same day.
Following your appointment, we will give you with your personal Boutique Whitening Kit to use at home.
Typically, the entire Teeth Whitening procedure will involve 1-2 appointments, inclusive of the consultation, and will take around two weeks to complete, depending on the use and reaching your desired shade.
Don’t hold off any longer to achieve your perfect smile – contact us today to schedule your Teeth Whitening appointment.
What To Expect
Our dentist will create a personalised whitening tray by taking an impression of your teeth. This tray, along with a whitening solution, can be used at home, allowing you to take control of your shade change.
Results typically become noticeable within a fortnight, and the longevity of the teeth whitening effects varies, ranging from a few months to three years. This duration is influenced by factors like smoking and the consumption of coffee, tea, or red wine.

Things to know:
- Teeth whitening is a private treatment.
- If you have any crowns, veneers, fillings or dentures, it is important to speak to your dentist before undergoing any teeth whitening treatment to ensure the best results and avoid complications.
- If you are considering Composite Bonding, we might recommend undergoing teeth whitening before the procedure. This ensures that the bonding material aligns with the desired shade of your enhanced teeth, preventing the need to replace the bonding material later and saving you both time and money. Once the bonding material is applied, it is permanent and cannot be altered.
Professional, safe and effective teeth whitening
As stated by the General Dental Council (GDC), teeth whitening procedures should only be carried out by registered dental professionals, after conducting a risk assessment.
If you are considering teeth whitening treatment, we recommend you speak with your dentist first to avoid damaging your teeth and gums.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Teeth Whitening cause or increase sensitivity?
Yes, some Teeth Whitening products can cause temporary sensitivity due to the exposure of the soft dentin layer underneath the tooth enamel. This allows the whitening product to reach the nerve endings, which can result in sensitivity for some people.
However, this sensitivity should be temporary and typically subsides within a few days when using highly-rated whitening products. It is important to note that unregulated or low-quality whitening products may cause more severe side effects, such as chemical burns on the teeth and gums, as well as prolonged sensitivity. Therefore, it is always recommended to consult with a dentist before using any teeth whitening products, to ensure the safest and most effective ingredients are used.
How long does teeth whitening last? Is it permanent?
No, teeth whitening is not permanent. However, the results of Teeth Whitening can last from 6 to 24 months on average. How long your teeth will remain white depends on a variety of factors, such as your oral hygiene habits, diet, and lifestyle choices. Therefore, in order to maintain that bright and white smile, you’ll need to look after your smile! To extend the length of your results be sure to practice good oral hygiene, (including regular brushing and flossing), and to visit your dentist for regular check-ups and to help keep your teeth white and healthy. Our dental team can provide personalised advice – feel free to ask us about our recommendations and any concerns you may have about Teeth Whitening.
What kind of results can I expect from Teeth Whitening?
The results of Teeth Whitening can vary depending on the condition of your teeth prior to the treatment. While it can certainly lighten your natural tooth colour, the extent of the improvement may not always meet your desired shade in a single session, especially if your teeth are heavily stained. In some cases, multiple sessions may be needed to achieve the desired outcome. Please note that Teeth Whitening only works on natural teeth, and cannot lighten the colour of crowns, veneers, or dentures. If you have any of these dental restorations and wish to improve the colour of your teeth, we recommend consulting with your dentist beforehand to discuss your options.
