Non‑Destructive Whitening with Custom Home Trays

Tooth whitening is a non‑destructive procedure carried out at home using custom‑made trays provided by your dental professional.​
It can considerably improve the appearance of your teeth, giving you a brighter smile.​
Because existing fillings, veneers or crowns will not whiten, these may need to be replaced afterwards if a full makeover is required.

Tooth Whitening & Related Care We Offer

Custom Home Whitening Trays

Tooth whitening is carried out at home using custom‑made trays provided by the practice.​
These trays hold the whitening gel closely against your teeth for effective results.

Suitability Assessment

A full mouth examination, including recent radiographs, is required before whitening.​ This ensures your teeth and gums are healthy and suitable for treatment.

Pre‑Whitening Treatment

Any necessary conservative work and oral hygiene treatment must be completed first.​ This helps achieve safe, predictable whitening outcomes.

Over‑18s Only

Tooth whitening is only available to patients aged 18 or over.​
This follows current regulations and professional guidance.

Managing Existing Restorations

Whitening does not change the shade of existing fillings, veneers or crowns.​ These may need to be replaced after whitening if a complete colour match is desired.

Professional‑Only Treatment

Only a registered dentist or suitably trained hygienist should provide tooth whitening.​
This helps to protect patients and ensure treatment is properly monitored.

Regulated Dental Team

Dental professionals must be registered with the General Dental Council and meet high standards.​
This regulation protects patients and governs the dental team.

Support for Nervous Patients

If you feel anxious about dental treatment, we can help you keep calm and trust your dentist.​
Our team is experienced in supporting patients who are nervous about procedures.
