Teeth Whitening

A brighter smile can make you feel fresher, more polished and more confident. Our cosmetic teeth-whitening treatment is designed to reduce the appearance of everyday staining and brighten your natural teeth in a comfortable, private setting.

We follow a hygienic, non-touch procedure, with your therapist explaining and monitoring each stage while you remain in control of the treatment.

Duration: Please allow 90 minutes

How long does the treatment take?

The treatment consists of three consecutive 20-minute whitening sessions. Time is also allowed for preparation, consultation and aftercare, so please allow approximately 90 minutes for your appointment.

How does teeth whitening work?

A professional whitening gel is applied to help break down pigments and discolouration within the natural teeth. An LED lamp is positioned in front of your mouth while the gel is active, following the treatment system’s recommended procedure.

Teeth whitening does not scrape, polish away or remove tooth enamel.

What will I experience?

Some clients notice mild bubbling, tingling or temporary sensitivity while the gel is active. This can be a normal part of the whitening process; however, the treatment should not feel painful.

Please tell your therapist immediately if you experience burning, sharp sensitivity or significant discomfort. The session can be adjusted or stopped if necessary.

What results can I expect?

Every smile responds differently, so we cannot promise a particular number of shades. Your result will depend on your starting tooth colour, the type and depth of staining, your dental health, previous whitening treatments and lifestyle.

Clients with heavier external staining may notice a more visible change, while naturally lighter teeth or internal discolouration may produce a subtler result.

Will crowns, veneers and fillings whiten?

Whitening products only lighten natural teeth. Crowns, veneers, bridges, implants and tooth-coloured fillings will remain their existing shade, which may create a colour difference after treatment.

If you have visible dental restorations, we recommend discussing whitening with your dentist before booking.

Should I see a dentist first?

A recent dental examination is strongly recommended before any whitening treatment, particularly if you are overdue for a check-up or have sensitivity, toothache, gum problems, cracked teeth, cavities or unfinished dental work.

Our service is cosmetic and does not replace a dental examination, professional cleaning or treatment. We cannot diagnose the cause of tooth discolouration or assess underlying dental conditions.

Is teeth whitening safe?

When performed on a suitable client and used correctly, cosmetic whitening is generally well tolerated. However, no whitening treatment is completely free from risk.

Possible side effects include temporary tooth sensitivity and irritation of the gums, lips or other soft tissue. We follow the whitening system’s instructions and maintain a careful, hygienic treatment process to minimise these risks.

Is teeth whitening suitable for everyone?

Whitening may not be suitable if you:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding

• Have gum disease, tooth decay or cracked teeth

• Have mouth ulcers or irritated oral tissue

• Experience significant tooth sensitivity

• Are currently undergoing dental work

• Have unexplained tooth pain or discolouration

• Have extensive crowns, veneers or visible fillings

If any of these apply—or if you are uncertain about your dental health—please speak with your dentist before making an appointment.

How long will my results last?

Whitening is not permanent. How long your brighter appearance lasts will depend on your natural tooth colour, oral hygiene and lifestyle.

Smoking and frequently consuming coffee, tea, red wine, cola and strongly coloured foods can gradually restain the teeth. Regular brushing, professional dental cleaning and following your aftercare instructions will help maintain your result.

After your treatment

We will provide simple aftercare instructions to help protect your freshly whitened smile. Avoid strongly coloured food, drinks and tobacco for the recommended period, and contact your dentist if sensitivity is severe or continues longer than expected.
