Teeth are stained by the food and drinks we consume. The natural bright white shade becomes darkened due to factors including smoking, coffee and red wine. Teeth whitening is a simple and successful way to lighten the shade of your teeth, boost your confidence and get you smiling again.

You may find that you experience some sensitivity in your teeth during treatment, but this is temporary and will fade when you stop wearing the whitening trays.
No, teeth whitening will not damage your tooth structure or enamel, or your gums. We use professional regulated systems that are completely safe, and supervise your treatment to ensure everything goes to plan. Your teeth may become more sensitive during your whitening treatment, but this is temporary and will go once treatment is complete.
The length of time that your teeth whitening results last depends on your individual case, and in some instances your lifestyle and diet choices. Teeth whitening is not permanent, and will need to be topped up to ensure your whiter, healthier looking teeth remain for the long term. On average, whitening results can last anywhere from a few months to a few years.
Yes, when teeth whitening treatment is carried out by a qualified and experienced dentist or dental health professional, it is completely safe. Your dentist is trained in the use of regulated whitening systems and is best placed to look after your teeth throughout treatment. It is best to avoid using teeth whitening kits that can be bought online, or having teeth whitening treatment in a beauty salon, as these are unregulated and could cause damage to your teeth and gums.
Before you decide on booking a consultation there are a few things you should know about teeth whitening. It is a treatment that uses carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide so an allergy to any of those is a contraindication to conduct the treatment.
This treatment is not recommended if you are pregnant or for patients under 18 years old.
If you had some dental treatments on the front of the teeth including large white fillings, veneers, crowns, bridges, partial dentures, implants, that could affect the results of the treatment.
To start whitening treatment, you need to be dentally fit so any dental work that could worsen the whitening process needs to be done prior to it.
The duration of the course differs on the person, but most patients notice a change within 1-5 weeks. For best results, we suggest not drinking red wine, eating berries or curries, and to avoid smoking cigarettes for up to 6 weeks after finishing the treatment.
Your teeth might become sensitive after a few days after starting the process which is completely normal. You should stop the treatment and restart the day later.
Please remember that you can reuse the trays in the future. All you need is another set of syringe gel that you can purchase online or at our clinic.
