Teeth whitening in West Byfleet and Surrey

Yes, when it’s prescribed and supervised by a dentist after an examination. Peroxide gels have been used safely for decades and don’t damage the tooth surface. Sensitivity, if it occurs, is temporary and managed with desensitising gel.

Teeth usually begin to whiten within the first week and most people see a noticeable difference by two weeks. Deeper discolouration, for example from tetracycline, may take six to eight weeks.

For most people one to three years, depending on diet, smoking and oral hygiene. Top up gel every three to six months keeps the shade, and your trays can be reused.

No. Whitening changes natural tooth only. Any fillings, crowns, veneers or implants keep their colour, so we plan whitening before any new cosmetic work so it can be matched to the brighter shade.

Products sold directly to consumers are limited by law to a very low peroxide level, which is why they rarely make a difference, and one size trays let gel leak onto the gums. Dentist prescribed whitening is stronger, safer and fitted to you.

Yes. Patients who register before we open receive a professional whitening kit, gel and custom trays, worth £475, once their assessment confirms it’s suitable. It’s supplied to adults after examination, as the regulations require.
