Benefits of home teeth whitening
If you are unhappy with dull, yellowing teeth, whitening can really help brighten up your smile. Dentist-supervised home whitening offers a safer, more effective alternative to shop-bought kits. The gel is of higher strength, and the trays are designed to fit you comfortably and securely, allowing the active gel to work more effectively. It can also be carried out at times to suit you, in the comfort of your own home.
- Safe and effective: Home whitening, performed under the guidance of our dentist, is a safe and effective way to whiten your teeth.
- Improved oral health: Teeth whitening doesn’t just improve aesthetics; it can motivate better oral hygiene practices. A whiter smile encourages you to maintain good oral health.
- Stain removal: Stubborn stains from coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking can be significantly reduced, helping your teeth appear cleaner and more polished.
- Special occasions: Whether it’s a wedding, job interview, or reunion, a whiter smile can give you the confidence to shine on your special day.
- Convenient: Whiten your teeth at your own pace and schedule, eliminating the need for frequent dental appointments.
- Noticeable results: You can see a whiter smile in just a few weeks of consistent use.
- Boosts confidence: A brighter smile can increase your confidence and self-esteem.
The process of home teeth whitening
During your initial consultation with our friendly team, we will assess your suitability for home whitening and address any concerns you may have. We will examine your teeth and give them a thorough clean.
Following this, we will take moulds of your teeth to create your customised whitening trays. We will ensure the trays fit comfortably and securely, and you’ll receive clear instructions on how to use the whitening gel and trays effectively at home.
Once you get your trays and gel home, you simply apply the gel to the trays and wear them for the recommended duration, typically for a few hours daily or overnight.
You should see the desired results in only a few weeks. After treatment, you will have a follow-up appointment, so that we can check your teeth have been successfully lightened.
Although teeth whitening is not permanent, you can purchase additional top-up gel and use this with your existing trays if your teeth need a little boost. Regular brushing and flossing, combined with occasional touch-ups using the whitening kit, can help maintain a brighter smile.
- Impressions are taken of your teeth so customised whitening trays can be produced to fit.
- When ready, you will wear these at home with a bleaching gel for a specified length of time each day.
- After wearing the trays for a few weeks, you will attend a follow-up appointment to check your teeth have reached the desired shade.
- Although this treatment is carried out at home, we monitor your teeth to lessen any gum irritation and tooth sensitivity.
Please note, teeth whitening will only work on natural teeth and will not be effective on restorations such as crowns, veneers or dentures.

Frequently asked questions
How long will it take to see results?
The timeline for results varies from person to person, but many individuals start noticing a difference within the first week of consistent use. Full results are typically achieved within two to three weeks. It’s important to follow our instructions regarding the duration and frequency of tray use to ensure both safety and optimal whitening results.
How long will the results last?
The custom trays can be reused for future touch-ups as needed. However, the longevity of whitening results depends on individual habits such as diet, oral hygiene, and lifestyle choices. Avoiding foods and beverages that stain teeth, such as coffee and red wine, and maintaining good oral hygiene practices will help extend the longevity of your whitened smile. Periodic touch-ups can also help preserve the results over time.
Does teeth whitening hurt?
No, teeth whitening treatment does not hurt. The procedure is non-invasive, and we take a gentle and careful approach. You may experience some sensitivity in your teeth, but this is temporary. The Lumiwhite brand offers Lumi Soothe, which is a revolutionary, fast-acting desensitising gel that can be used before & after teeth whitening.
Are there any side effects or sensitivity?
Mild tooth sensitivity is a common side effect during the whitening process, but it is usually temporary. If you experience sensitivity, we may recommend using the whitening gel less frequently or for shorter durations. Using Lumi Soothe, or a toothpaste formulated for sensitive teeth can help alleviate any discomfort.
Is home whitening safe for everyone?
Teeth whitening is a very safe treatment when it is performed by a qualified dental professional. We are best placed to look after your teeth and gums during treatment and make sure you are dentally fit before we begin. We also use regulated products. You should avoid teeth whitening kits that can be easily bought online or in beauty salons, as these could cause damage. While generally safe, some individuals with sensitive teeth or gum problems may not be suitable. Discuss your options with us at your consultation.
Can I whiten crowns or veneers?
Teeth whitening treatment is not effective on dental restorations such as veneers, crowns, dentures, or bridges. Once you have had whitening treatment, you may find that these are a different shade to your natural teeth, so you may wish to whiten your teeth before they are placed, if possible. Your veneers or crowns can be replaced to match the new colour of your teeth at an additional cost. Please talk to us about your options.
