Professional tooth whitening is a safe, dentist-supervised
treatment that uses high-grade peroxide whitening gels to
remove deep stains and lighten the colour of your teeth. It
delivers faster, brighter, and longer-lasting results than over-the-
counter whitening products.
We use a peroxide-based whitening gel that penetrates the
enamel to break down stains caused by food, drinks, smoking,
and ageing.
Yes. When performed by a qualified dentist, tooth whitening is
clinically safe. Your dentist protects your gums, monitors
sensitivity, and ensures the correct strength of gel is used for
your teeth.
Results typically last 6–24 months, depending on lifestyle
habits such as coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking. We
recommend a top-up treatment once a month help maintain
long-term brightness.
Most patients experience a change of several shades lighter
after one session, though results vary depending on your natural
tooth colour and level of staining.
Yes, tooth whitening can cause temporary sensitivity, and whilst
uncomfortable, is not harmful.
Our premium system, Enlighten whitening comes with a
desensitising serum toothpaste and a concentrated gel to make the process more comfortable.

| Dentist monitoring and gum protection | Unregulated |
| Production of gels is regulated and kept fresh from manufacture to delivery |
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are suitable
candidates. Tooth whitening is not recommended for pregnant
women, breastfeeding mothers, or patients with untreated
cavities, gum disease, or severe enamel wear.
No. Whitening gels lighten natural tooth enamel only. Veneers,
crowns, bridges, and composite fillings will remain the same
shade, so your dentist may discuss replacing them for a uniform
colour.
Yes. Professional whitening provides significantly better, longer-
lasting, and safer results than shop-bought kits. Many patients
report improved confidence and a brighter overall smile.
Costs vary by treatment system and location.
Avoid staining foods and drinks for 24–48 hours after treatment.
Stick to “white” or light-coloured foods immediately after
whitening to protect your results.
