Teeth whitening in West Byfleet and Surrey

Professional teeth whitening uses dentist prescribed peroxide gel in custom made trays to lift staining and brighten the natural colour of your enamel. Most people see a noticeable difference within two weeks. At LUSSO Dental the professional whitening kit, gel and custom trays, is £475 and is included in the New Patient Offer.

Whitening is a dental procedure, and doing it properly is the difference between a brighter smile and sensitive teeth. Custom trays, the right gel, and a dentist who has checked it’s suitable for you.

How it works

Custom trays, dentist strength gel

Your trays are made from a scan of your own teeth, so the gel sits exactly where it should and stays off the gums. You wear them for a short period each day at home.

We record your shade before you start and check it as you go, so you can see the change rather than guess at it.

What it is

How professional whitening works, and why supervision matters

Whitening gel contains carbamide or hydrogen peroxide, which passes into the enamel and breaks down the pigments that have built up from tea, coffee, red wine, curry and smoking, and from age. Peroxide gels have been used safely in dentistry since the 1980s; whitening doesn’t harm the tooth surface when it’s used correctly.

The trays are what make the difference. Yours are made from a digital scan of your teeth, so the gel sits exactly where it should, at the right concentration, without leaking onto the gums. Over the counter products are limited by law to a fraction of the peroxide a dentist can prescribe, which is why they rarely work.

Whitening lightens natural tooth structure only. Fillings, crowns, veneers and implants don’t change colour, which is one reason we whiten before any cosmetic work rather than after. Your mouth must also be healthy first: any decay or gum disease is treated before whitening begins.

Patients come to us from West Byfleet, Woking, Weybridge, Byfleet, Pyrford, Cobham, and across Surrey. West Byfleet station is opposite the clinic.

Who it suits

  • Teeth that have darkened with age or staining
  • A brighter shade before a wedding, interview or event
  • Before bonding or veneers, so the new work is matched to brighter teeth
  • Maintaining a previous whitening result

Worth knowing

  • Whitening is a dental procedure and can only be provided by, or under the prescription of, a registered dental professional
  • It isn’t suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with a peroxide allergy
  • Deeper discolouration can take six to eight weeks to lift
  • Small amounts of sensitivity aren’t unusual and settle quickly

Your journey at LUSSO

How it works at LUSSO, step by step

01

Assessment

An examination and a shade record. We check for decay, gum disease, cracks and existing restorations, and confirm whitening is suitable for you.

02

Scan and trays

A digital scan of your teeth, from which your custom trays are made to fit precisely.

03

Home whitening

You apply a small amount of gel to the trays and wear them at night for eight to ten hours, or for shorter daytime sessions with a stronger gel. Most people see a change within a week.

04

Review

We check your shade against the starting record, manage any sensitivity, and advise on how long to continue.

05

Maintain

Top up gel every few months keeps the result. Trays last for years if looked after.

Dr Kal, founder of LUSSO Dental

“I whiten almost every smile I work on before I do anything else. Brighter enamel means thinner bonding, more natural veneers, and often the patient decides that whitening alone was all they wanted.”

Your questions

Teeth whitening: your questions answered

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.
