Dental clinic in Shoreditch, London

It's easy to see why professional teeth whitening is among the most requested cosmetic dental treatments across London. Done properly, it makes a significant difference to how your smile looks and how you feel about it.

What Is Teeth Whitening? 

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that lightens the natural colour of your teeth and helps reduce visible stains.

It uses a regulated bleaching agent (carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide) that gently breaks down discolouration.

The result? A brighter smile and younger-looking teeth, while still maintaining a natural appearance.

Why Professional Teeth Whitening? 

Dental professionals are legally allowed to use higher concentrations of active whitening ingredients.

This means you can achieve visible results more quickly, making professional treatment far more effective.

While over-the-counter teeth whitening products and home teeth whitening kits available online can help reduce some surface stains, they don't contain enough active ingredients to significantly change the natural colour of your teeth.

Visiting a dental practice also ensures a proper assessment of your teeth.

The dentist will advise whether professional teeth whitening is suitable for you, as well as check for issues such as tooth wear or existing dental work, like crowns or fillings, which can affect the final results.

Teeth Whitening Before And After

Who Is Teeth Whitening Suitable For?

Professional teeth whitening is a safe and effective option for most adults with healthy teeth and gums who want to brighten their smile.

However, certain factors can affect suitability. Severe tooth wear, for example, can increase tooth sensitivity and gum irritation during treatment and may make whitening uncomfortable for some people.

Before the whitening process begins, dentists will check for issues such as tooth decay or gum disease, which should be treated first.

Existing dental work, including crowns, bridges, veneers, or large fillings, will also be assessed, as these materials won't change colour and need to be considered when planning your treatment.

How Does the Teeth Whitening Process Work?

The teeth whitening treatment process is simple and carefully planned to ensure safe results:

We begin with a free consultation to check the health of your teeth and gums. During this visit, we assess:

  • Tooth wear and gum recession

  • Any existing dentistry, such as a crown or fillings, which can affect outcomes

  • Whether teeth whitening is appropriate for you

We also record your starting tooth colour so we can accurately measure results over time.

What Are The Types of Teeth Whitening? 

There are two main types of teeth whitening:

  1. Home whitening

  2. In-surgery

At The Modern Dentist, we only offer home whitening.

In-surgery whitening doesn't deliver better results and tends to cost significantly more because of the chair time involved.

How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost? 

At The Modern Dentist, professional home whitening costs £450.

The cost includes your custom whitening trays, all the gel you need for three weeks of treatment, and extra gel for future top-ups.

The Benefits of Teeth Whitening

The Simplest Way To Make A Big Difference

Because tooth whitening takes so little work but can make such a major difference to the colour of the teeth, it's a very easy and effective way to improve your smile

Cost Effective

Because you do most of the work yourself at home, the cost of whitening is low compared to many other treatments.

Long-lasting Difference

When done properly, the effects of teeth whitening last.

The teeth will very slowly start to relapse over time but maintaining the colour with occasional top-ups is easy, and even without top-ups, the teeth will usually not go back to their original colour.

Improved Confidence

A brighter, more youthful-looking smile

Cosmetic Improvements

Natural results that don't look overdone.

How Safe Is Professional Tooth Whitening? 

Tooth whitening is a well-established and safe treatment, and long-term studies have consistently shown no structural changes or weakening of tooth enamel when used as directed.

However, manufacturers advise against whitening during pregnancy as a precautionary measure.

FAQs

If you're an adult with healthy teeth and gums, and you're hoping to brighten a yellowish tint, teeth whitening could be perfect for you. 

Bear in mind, not everyone is a good candidate for teeth whitening, and it's best to check if it's right for you.

For example, if you have sensitive teeth, gum disease, cavities, or dental restorations like crowns or veneers, whitening might not be for you. It can cause pain or lead to uneven colouring.
