Holmfirth patients, the Holme Valley and the Flouch road

Holmfirth has several dental practices and most of them offer whitening, usually a home tray system, sometimes a one-visit in-surgery session as well. What they have in common is that the whitening page tells you the treatment exists and asks you to call for the price. A couple say results last 'several months to a few years' and leave it there. If you are trying to compare, that is not much to go on.

We are the other side of the moor, 25 to 30 minutes along the A616, and we would rather you compared us properly. Our fees are £350 for home whitening and £550 for Enlighten, fixed, with a £85 new patient examination including X-rays. Visits run until 8pm seven days a week, so the drive fits after work or on a Saturday, and the same dentist looks after you throughout. Patients from the Holme Valley already make the trip for implants and emergencies, and whitening is a shorter, easier reason.

Eight questions to put to any whitening dentist, with our answers

What strength is the gel, and who supplies it?

In the UK only a GDC-registered dentist can supply anything above 0.1% hydrogen peroxide, up to 6% (or 16% carbamide peroxide). Ours is dentist-strength, prescribed after an examination. Salon and online products are either weaker than this or illegal.

Will you examine my teeth first, and what does that cost?

Whitening over decay or gum disease hurts and gives a blotchy result. We examine you with X-rays for £85 and treat anything that needs treating before you start.

What is the total price, in writing?

£350 or £550, including trays, gel, the review visit and aftercare. No extras, and the plan is written down before you pay anything. The only additions are optional: a hygiene visit from £75 if there is surface stain.

Are the trays made from a scan of my teeth?

Yes, using an intraoral scanner, so they seal at the gum line and keep the gel on the enamel. Stock trays leak and dilute.

What happens if my teeth get sensitive?

You skip a night, use the desensitising gel we supply, and carry on. Enlighten patients use a serum toothpaste from the start. Sensitivity is temporary and does not damage the tooth.

What about my fillings, crowns or veneers?

They will not change colour. We note every restoration on your front teeth at the examination and tell you which, if any, would need replacing to match, with that cost in the plan from day one.

How long will it last and what does a top-up cost?

One to three years depending on tea, coffee, wine and smoking. You keep the trays, so a top-up is a syringe of gel rather than a new course.

Who do I ring if something is wrong at 7pm on a Sunday?

Us. The practice is open until 8pm every day, and out of hours the emergency line is answered personally by Dr Ibraheem Ijaz, the principal dentist.

A ninth, if you are offered a single in-chair session: ask whether it comes with a home phase. Without one, much of the immediate brightness is dehydration and it rebounds within a week or two. That is why Enlighten pairs two to three weeks at home with the session in the chair.

Prices for Holmfirth patients

Whitening can be paid over 6 to 18 months at 0% through Tabeo, subject to status; see the finance page. The two systems are explained on the main teeth whitening page.

Getting to Deepcar from Holmfirth

Take the A616 out of Holmfirth through New Mill and over the moor to the Flouch roundabout, then follow the A616 down the Stocksbridge bypass. Leave at the Deepcar junction, turn onto Manchester Road (A6102), and we are at number 334 with free parking directly outside. Allow 25 to 30 minutes from the centre of Holmfirth. The road over the top is exposed; in snow or fog, give yourself longer or ring us to move the slot. Surgeries are on the ground floor. If you have pain, see our emergency dentist page for Holmfirth.

Questions, answered

Teeth whitening: questions from Holmfirth patients

Why go over the Flouch for whitening when Holmfirth has dentists?

A published fixed price, an £85 examination, evening and weekend visits and written aftercare. Three short visits over a month is the commitment.

Can two of us from Holmfirth be seen in the same visit?

Yes. Book together and we run the examinations and tray fittings back to back so you share the drive.

Is there a cheaper whitening that still works?

Home whitening at £350 is the value option and suits most people. Enlighten costs more because it adds the in-practice session and aims for the brightest natural shade predictably.

How long does the examination take?

About half an hour, including X-rays and a digital scan of your teeth for the trays.

Does whitening damage enamel?

Dentist-prescribed gel at the legal strength does not. The damage stories come from acidic salon products and overused abrasive toothpastes.

Will it change my crowns?

No. Crowns, veneers and fillings keep their colour, so we plan whitening before any new front-tooth work.

Absolutely amazing experience! From the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease. I’ve always been a bit nervous about dental visits, but they were so kind, patient, and professional. The whole procedure was quick and painless. I walked out with a smile — both literally and figuratively. 10/10!

I have been looked after at the practice for many years. Over twenty years later my porcelain veneers are still going strong. Affordable and friendly service. Highly recommend.
