Professional Teeth Whitening: What Patients Should Know

Professional whitening can refresh your smile beautifully when carried out under proper clinical care. Here is what to expect.

Professional whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments we offer in Abbey Wood. Carried out properly, it can lift surface and deeper staining, leaving teeth looking brighter and more even.

How it works

Custom whitening trays are made from impressions of your teeth, then a clinically approved whitening gel is used at home over a planned period. Your dentist supervises the process throughout.

What results to expect

Most patients enjoy a noticeably brighter, more even smile. Results are natural looking rather than uniform white, which is what we recommend for a natural-looking finish.

Who it suits

Whitening works best on healthy teeth and gums. A short check up beforehand confirms suitability and avoids treating any underlying issues.

Looking after your results

Avoid heavily staining foods and drinks for the first 48 hours, then enjoy them in moderation. Regular hygiene visits help maintain your results over time.
