How does professional whitening work?
Professional whitening uses a carefully controlled gel to lift stains from inside the enamel. Done in the clinic, results are visible after one visit and far more even than shop-bought kits.
We protect your gums throughout and can provide custom trays for top-ups at home.

What affects the cost
Whitening has a fixed price, with optional extras depending on your goals. The main factors:
In-clinic or take-home treatment
Number of sessions needed
Custom trays for top-ups
Any cleaning needed beforehand
We agree the full cost before treatment.
Recovery and aftercare
Some people notice mild sensitivity for a day or two. A sensitive toothpaste helps, and it settles on its own.
Avoid coffee, red wine and other strongly coloured food and drink for 48 hours. Results typically last one to three years with good care.
