Who We Are

Professional Teeth Whitening from Your Local Cosmetic Dentists

Want a brighter smile without making your teeth look unnaturally white? Our dental team provides professional teeth whitening for patients across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire, including Hitchin, Letchworth Garden City, Stevenage, Baldock, Sandy, Biggleswade, Royston, Bassingbourn, Cambridge, Ampthill, Flitwick and surrounding areas.

We start with a 30-minute whitening consultation for £55 (non-refundable), where we’ll check your teeth and gums, discuss the shade you’re hoping to achieve and explain whether professional whitening is suitable for you. Home whitening starts from £400 and includes custom-made trays with professional-strength whitening gel, with refills available from £45.

When is teeth whitening recommended?

Following a clinical assessment, we may recommend teeth whitening if you:

Have stained or discoloured teeth
Want to improve your smile appearance
Are looking for a non-invasive cosmetic treatment
Have healthy teeth and gums suitable for whitening

We will assess your oral health and tooth condition to confirm whether whitening is appropriate and discuss expected results.

Will teeth whitening work on all types of staining?

Teeth whitening is most effective on surface staining and natural tooth discolouration. Some types of intrinsic staining or existing dental restorations such as crowns or fillings may not respond in the same way. We will assess the cause of discolouration and advise on expected results.

How white can my teeth become?

Results vary depending on your natural tooth shade, level of staining and type of discolouration. Teeth whitening is intended to enhance the brightness of your smile, rather than create an unnatural appearance. We will discuss realistic expectations during your clinical assessment.

Treatment Options

Professional Teeth Whitening Options

Professional teeth whitening works on natural tooth enamel only and will not change the colour of crowns, veneers, composite bonding or white fillings. If you have existing restorations, we’ll discuss the best options for achieving an even, natural-looking result.

Home Teeth Whitening

Our home whitening system uses custom-made, dentist-prescribed whitening trays and professional whitening gel, allowing you to gradually whiten your teeth at home under dental supervision.

In-Practice Whitening

In some cases, whitening may be carried out in the clinic, using clinically approved systems under the supervision of a dentist.

Whitening Gel Refills

If you have previously completed whitening treatment and have suitable existing trays, whitening gel refills may be available to help maintain your results.

Teeth Whitening FAQS

Clear, honest answers to help you feel confident about your visit.

How long do teeth whitening results last?

The longevity of teeth whitening results depends on your lifestyle and oral hygiene habits. Factors such as smoking or regular consumption of staining foods and drinks can affect how long the results last. We may recommend top-up whitening treatments to help maintain your desired shade over time.

Will teeth whitening cause sensitivity?

Some patients may notice temporary tooth sensitivity during or after whitening treatment. This is usually mild and settles shortly after treatment. We will provide advice on how to manage sensitivity and recommend appropriate products if required.

Can I have teeth whitening if I have crowns or fillings?

Teeth whitening works on natural tooth structure only and does not alter the colour of existing restorations such as crowns, veneers or fillings. We will assess your teeth and explain how this may influence your overall result.

Can teeth whitening be part of a treatment plan?

Yes, teeth whitening can be included as part of a broader cosmetic or restorative treatment plan, depending on your goals. We will assess your oral health and smile objectives and recommend the most appropriate approach.

How long does home teeth whitening take?

Home teeth whitening is completed over a period of time using custom trays and professional whitening gel. The duration will vary depending on your starting shade and the result you would like to achieve. We will outline your treatment timeline during your consultation.
