Are you dreaming of a dazzling, radiant smile that leaves a lasting impression? Look no further! Our professional teeth whitening services can help you achieve the bright, white smile you’ve always wanted.
Home teeth whitening is a convenient and popular way to brighten your smile from the comfort of your own home. We offer professional-grade home whitening kits containing bleaching gels and custom-made trays that fit snugly over your teeth. The gel gently breaks down stains, revealing a whiter smile over time.
If you are unhappy with your dull, discoloured teeth, whitening can really help brighten up your smile. Dentist-supervised home whitening offers a safer, more effective alternative to shop-bought kits as the mouth trays are designed to fit you comfortably and securely, allowing the active gel to work more effectively. It can also be carried out at times to suit you, in the comfort of your own home.
During your initial consultation with our friendly team, we will assess your suitability for home whitening and address any concerns you may have.
Subsequently, impressions will be taken of your teeth to create custom-made whitening trays. We will then ensure the trays fit comfortably and securely. You'll receive clear instructions on how to use the whitening gel and trays effectively at home.
Once you get your trays and gel home, you simply apply the gel to the trays and wear them for the recommended duration, typically for a few hours daily or overnight.
You should see the desired results in only a few weeks. After treatment, you will have a follow-up appointment, so we can check your teeth have been successfully lightened.
Although teeth whitening is not permanent, you can purchase additional gel and use this with your existing trays if your teeth need a little boost. Regular brushing and flossing, combined with occasional touch-ups using the whitening kit, can help maintain a brighter smile.

The timeline for results varies from person to person, but many individuals start noticing a difference within the first week of consistent use. Full results are typically achieved within two to three weeks. It's important to follow your dentist's instructions regarding the duration and frequency of tray use to ensure both safety and optimal whitening results.
The custom trays can be reused for future touch-ups as needed. However, the longevity of whitening results depends on individual habits such as diet, oral hygiene, and lifestyle choices. Avoiding foods and beverages that stain teeth, such as coffee and red wine, and maintaining good oral hygiene practices will help extend the longevity of your whitened smile. Periodic touch-ups, as recommended by your dentist, can also help preserve the results over time.
No, teeth whitening treatment does not hurt at all. The procedure is non-invasive and we take a gentle and careful approach. You may experience some sensitivity in your teeth, but this is temporary.
Mild tooth sensitivity is a common side effect during the whitening process, but it is usually temporary. If you experience sensitivity, your dentist may recommend using the whitening gel less frequently or for shorter durations. Additionally, using toothpaste formulated for sensitive teeth can help alleviate any discomfort. It's essential to consult with your dentist if you have any concerns or if sensitivity persists.
Teeth whitening is a very safe treatment when it is performed by a qualified dental professional. We are best placed to look after your teeth and gums during treatment and make sure you are dentally fit before we begin. We also use regulated products. You should avoid teeth whitening kits that can be easily bought online or in beauty salons, as these could cause damage. While generally safe, some individuals with sensitive teeth or gum problems may not be suitable. Discuss your options with us at your consultation.
Teeth whitening treatment is not effective on dental restorations such as veneers, crowns, dentures or bridges. You may find that these are a different shade to your natural teeth once you have had whitening treatment, so you may wish to whiten your teeth before they are placed, if possible. Your veneers or crowns can be replaced to match the new colour of your teeth, at an additional cost. Please talk to us about your options.
