Choosing the Right Whitening for You

Enlighten Tooth Whitening

Enlighten is the only tooth whitening treatment guaranteed to achieve “Shade B1”, the lightest natural shade of tooth enamel.

Using a pre-whitening tooth serum and desensitising treatment, Enlighten minimises sensitivity throughout the process. After using the pre-treatment serum for two weeks, we apply the desensitising treatment and provide enough whitening gel for two to four weeks of overnight use at home.

Finally, we see you in the practice for a last in-chair session to perfect your results and give you a bright, natural-looking smile.

If you have not achieved the lightest natural shade, Enlighten will provide more gel free of charge.

Price: £600


Advanced Tooth Whitening

Our Advanced Whitening gel is specially formulated by dentists to be worn overnight or during the day, giving you a brighter smile in a short period of time while keeping sensitivity to a minimum. It is gentle on your teeth but effective at lifting stains.

The gel works by penetrating the enamel and breaking down stain compounds through a natural whitening process, helping your teeth achieve a lighter, fresher appearance. Developed in the UK, it comes in biodegradable syringes, is vegan-friendly, and not tested on animals, so you can feel good about your treatment while enjoying fast, noticeable results.

Price: £363


Alternative Options

Before we whiten your teeth we will check that they are healthy and suitable for whitening. We can also suggest ways you can brighten your smile without whitening at all, if you are interested.

For some people these methods can produce enough improvement that they don’t feel they need to use whitening gels at all:

  • Improving your general tooth cleaning regime so that you clean every surface, of every tooth, every day with an electric toothbrush and interdental brushes.
  • Reducing the amount of stain that accumulates in the first place, by reducing your consumption of strong tea, coffee, and red wine, and giving up smoking
  • Having your teeth cleaned professionally. This is needed for most people before they whiten in any case to ensure the gel works efficiently
  • Having a professional stain removal treatment with our Aquacut Quattro or our Air Flow gentle stain removal systems.

Teeth Whitening and Stain Removal FAQs

Why are beauticians cheaper for tooth whitening?

Only dentists and hygienists are allowed to carry out tooth whitening in the UK. Everyone else, even if they ask you to take your own impressions and put the gel on yourself, will be operating illegally and you will have no protection should things go wrong.

  • They don’t sterilise their equipment to the exacting standards required of dentists
  • They don’t carry emergency equipment or medicines in case you suffer a serious allergic reaction to any of the materials
  • They rely on an hour or so of training by a company that sells gels to beauticians rather than having a five year degree and postgraduate training to diagnose dental problems
  • They don’t have professional indemnity or insurance to help anyone who suffers a problem from their treatment
  • They don’t carry out continuing professional development to ensure they are up to date with all current medical risks or material updates
  • They do not pay registration fees to a regulatory body that you can complain to if they damage your teeth or your health

Other reasons why it’s not a great idea to trust the health of your mouth to a beautician:

  • They cannot know if your teeth are suitable for treatment or if your gums will be damaged by the gel
  • Only dentists can legally buy properly accredited whitening gels, so illegal tooth whitening establishments tend to use gels ordered online from abroad. These can be 5 or more times higher concentration than dentist materials and hence can burn. Some beauticians resort to using Sodium Perborate, which whitens teeth but can also cause cancer, or Chlorine Dioxide, which dissolves enamel and results in permanent sensitivity.
Do over the counter self-administered products work?

Products that comply with UK law and therefore contain no more than 0.1% active gel are unable to whiten enamel as the concentration is not high enough.

Whitening products by reputable companies such as Oral B and Colgate improve your smile by removing surface stain only and will not change the underlying colour of your tooth enamel.

Other products you can buy online or from high street shops often fail to declare the precise chemicals used so it’s very difficult to assess their safety. Because of this they cannot be considered safe or effective.

Is the improved colour permanent?

All whitening fades over time. It varies from person to person but most people will see a change within a year or so. For this reason we recommend topping up your results once every few weeks.

Will my fillings and crowns whiten too?

Superficial stain and marks will be removed but the underlying colour of the crown will be the same. You may need fillings and crowns replaced after whitening as the more recent ones could look dark by comparison with your newly sparkling white teeth.

Does whitening damage the enamel?

Provided by a dental professional, whitening gels are safe and do not damage the enamel at all. Some gels used by illegal tooth whiteners such as beauticians can dissolve the enamel surface and leave permanent sensitivity.

Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?

Some patients experience temporary sensitivity from tooth whitening, but professional systems are designed to minimise discomfort. Enlighten, for example, includes a pre-whitening serum and desensitising treatment to reduce sensitivity during and after treatment, helping you achieve a brighter smile comfortably. Sensitivity usually settles shortly after finishing your whitening course.

Can anyone whiten their teeth?

Most adults are suitable candidates, but it’s essential that your teeth and gums are in good health before whitening. Any decay, gum disease, or worn enamel should be treated first to ensure the procedure is safe and effective. Whitening is not recommended for children, pregnant or breastfeeding patients, or those with certain dental conditions. A consultation with your dentist will confirm your suitability and ensure your teeth are healthy and ready for the best results.

Hopefully there'll be LOTS of smiles on show tonight, so we wanted to make sure their teeth were looking sparkling for the occasion. ✨

Good luck, England! 🏆⚽

Full mouth transformations are amazing, but not every smile needs one... In this case, we used a small amount of composite bonding on the two upper left front teeth to improve symmetry and create a more balanced smile.
 
A subtle enhancement can make all the difference. 😊

It's #PlasticFreeJuly! 🌍♻️

Plastic Free July is a global movement that encourages people across the world to reduce their plastic waste through simple, everyday choices.

We know that many oral hygiene products contain plastic, and avoiding it altogether isn't always easy. That's why we set up our dental recycling scheme here at the practice.

If you haven't started recycling your dental products yet, it's easy to get involved! We accept:
✅ Toothbrushes and electric toothbrush heads
✅ Toothpaste tubes
✅ Interdental brushes and floss containers

Simply drop your used items into the recycling box at our reception. Whether you're one of our patients, a local resident, or just passing by, everyone is welcome to use it. 💚
