Teeth whitening

At-home teeth whitening involves the use of custom-made take-home whitening trays. These trays resemble Invisalign® aligners (they’re transparent and custom-made for your teeth).

You can then apply whitening gel to the trays for 2-4 hours each day (preferably used overnight, although we also have daytime gels as well).

Depending on your desired result and the condition of your teeth, treatment can take between 2 and 6 weeks on average.

Best for: Long-term results and convenience.

At-home whitening results can last for up to 3 years. You can wear the trays day or night to fit in with your life.

In-chair whitening is performed in the dentist’s chair in a single appointment. Your dentist will apply whitening gel to your teeth and use a laser or light to activate the effects.

In as little as 45 minutes, the shade of your teeth can be altered by up to 8 shades.

Best for: Achieving fast results and mild to moderate whitening of the teeth.

In-chair whitening is great if you are looking to whiten your teeth in a short space of time. The results last for up to 9 months.

Teeth whitening is guaranteed to be safe only when carried out by a medical professional (a dentist or a doctor). We are bound by the GDC (General Dental Council) and by our commitment to looking after our patients with the utmost care.

We therefore only ever use safe whitening gels and use safe, bespoke trays for at-home whitening. We strongly advise seeking this treatment from a medical professional – it’s never worth risking your health.
