Professional Tooth Whitening from £300.00

In the United Kingdom, only registered dental professionals are currently allowed to carry out any tooth whitening procedures.

The active chemical that whitens the dentine core of the tooth is hydrogen peroxide, or carbamide peroxide, which is closely related. Over a period of a few weeks, the custom-made trays are loaded with the active product and are worn, typically at night, to gradually lighten the teeth. 

The tooth whitening product will only lighten the shade of natural tooth tissue, and will not affect the shade of dental fillings or porcelain restorations such as veneers, crowns or bridges.  Subsequently, these may require replacement following the course of tooth whitening to complement the new shade of the teeth.  Your dentist will advise you prior to any tooth whitening whether this may be necessary.  The scientific evidence also suggests that a small proportion of people (less than 5%) will experience no overall improvement in tooth shade.

Please feel free to discuss any aspect of your smile that you would like to improve and we can discuss the suitable range of options available to you.
