Your teeth are porous. Over time, microscopic particles from coffee, red wine, darker foods and natural aging settle deep into your enamel. Regular brushing can clean the surface, but it cannot reach the deep discolouration that makes a smile look "tired."
Store-bought kits can’t compete. We use prescription-strength professional whitening systems to safely lift deep stains and restore your natural brilliance without damaging your enamel.
At Tuddenham Road Dental Surgery, we don’t just scrub the surface. We use professional chemistry to oxygenate the stains from the inside out, safely returning your teeth to a shade you haven't seen in years.
We take precision impressions of your teeth to create bespoke whitening trays. Unlike generic online kits, these fit your gums perfectly to prevent leakage and ensure even coverage.
You receive a prescription-grade whitening kit (10% Carbamide Peroxide or a Hydrogen Peroxide "Power Boost") tailored to your sensitivity levels.
Wear your trays for just 2 hours a day (or overnight). Most patients see a dramatic shift in brightness within just 14 days.
Absolutely not. Professional tooth whitening has been researched for over 60 years. The gels we use are pH-neutral and enamel-safe. They do not "strip" the tooth; they simply lift the pigment from the pores.
Some patients experience mild, temporary sensitivity to cold during the treatment. This is normal and transient. We can provide desensitising gels and the sensitivity stops as soon as the treatment is finished.
This depends on your lifestyle (coffee and red wine intake!). Typically, results last 12-18 months. The best part? Because you keep your custom trays, you can simply buy a "top-up" syringe from us for a fraction of the cost whenever you want a boost.
No. Whitening gels only affect natural tooth structure. If you have existing crowns or veneers on your front teeth, they will remain their original shade while your natural teeth get lighter. We often recommend whitening before replacing old crowns to match the new, brighter shade.
