Teeth Whitening

Whitening treatments are one of the most popular ways to brighten your smile. The process lightens the natural shade of teeth by several levels but cannot make them completely white.

Who Can Perform Teeth Whitening?
Only registered dental professionals are legally allowed to provide whitening treatments in the UK. Beauty salons or unregulated providers are not permitted, as unsafe whitening can damage teeth and gums. Home kits are available but may carry risks if not used properly.

How Whitening Works

• Custom tray whitening: Your dentist takes impressions of your teeth to make a mouthguard. A bleaching gel is then applied inside the tray, which is worn at home over several weeks.

• Laser whitening (power whitening): A bleaching gel is applied to the teeth in-clinic, and a special light activates the whitening agent. This procedure usually takes around an hour.

With the right professional guidance, teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to refresh your smile.
