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!

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?
Will you examine my teeth first, and what does that cost?
What is the total price, in writing?
Are the trays made from a scan of my teeth?
What happens if my teeth get sensitive?
What about my fillings, crowns or veneers?
How long will it last and what does a top-up cost?
Who do I ring if something is wrong at 7pm on a Sunday?
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.

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.
In their own words
What patients say.
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.
