Teeth Whitening in London

For patients who want a quick and effective smile improvement, teeth whitening in London treatment brings a dazzling, youthful brightness back to your teeth. Though discolouration does not make your teeth unhealthy, it can make some patients feel a bit self-conscious.

Less-than-bright teeth are a natural sign of time passing. Teeth change colour for many different reasons:

Teeth whitening products contain tooth-safe bleaching agents that break up the stains, making your teeth brighter. At-home bleaching kits, like the ones we offer at Bishopsgate Dental Centre, come with bespoke teeth whitening trays designed to fit your mouth perfectly. Patients add the bleaching solution to the tray and position the trays in their mouth for a predetermined amount of time. Depending on the product, your teeth will be noticeably lighter in a few days to a few weeks.

Enlighten Whitening in London

Enlighten teeth whitening London treatment is the only system in the world that will whiten up to 16 shades easily and safely and will give you a dramatic look.

The system uses state-of-the-art materials — a combination of 10 percent and 16 percent carbamide peroxide — which are safe for the gums. Other major professional whitening systems are much higher concentration gels and therefore need to place a barrier on your gums and lips to protect them from being burnt.

Dentists love this system because it delivers a great result whilst being safer and easier to use.

To get the absolute best out of the system there is some effort required on your side.

You will need to have some impressions taken by your Enlighten accredited dentist here at Bishopsgate Dental Care. These impressions will be sent to our state-of-the-art laboratory, who will then make high quality sealed bleaching trays for you.

This usually takes about two weeks. During this time, you will use our amazing toothpaste, called Tooth Serum, twice a day instead of your regular toothpaste.

2 weeks later you will return to pick up your teeth whitening gels so you can Start your at-home treatment with the night gels for 14 nights. The 3rd week you will finish off using the day gel. Just an hour of daily wear seals in the whiteness to complete your treatment in the final week.

Boutique Teeth Whitening in London

Boutique is a high-quality tooth whitening product that we use for day wear. Just like with the Enlighten system, we will make a well-fitted whitening tray just for you. Included in the whitening kit, we provide you with four syringes of 6 percent hydrogen peroxide whitening gel. This fast-acting, whitening formula offers great results with just 90 minutes of daily use.

This whitening system comes in different strengths, including a milder solution for those with sensitive teeth. Dr Gina Vega, our principal dentist, will discuss your options with you, and determine a bleaching strength that will be most appropriate for achieving the shade you desire.

Boutique provides safe and effective whitening results that impress our patients time and time again.

What is the Difference Between Hydrogen Peroxide and Carbamide Peroxide?

Teeth whitening is the result of peroxide breaking up large pigment molecules into smaller, less visible molecules. Essentially, large stains become small molecules that the body absorbs.

Carbamide peroxide is hydrogen peroxide compounded with urea, which helps give it a longer, more predictable shelf life. Hydrogen peroxide breaks down rapidly on its own.

Over-the-counter products that do not require involvement of a dental professional are often ineffective, as the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is too low to make much difference.

Teeth Whitening Results

Now you can keep your teeth white even longer by using both teeth whitening systems! By keeping your trays safe and using the home gel, you can top up your whitening treatment every now and then.

We recommend you wear your trays one night every two or three months to keep your teeth at their optimum whitening level. For added benefit, you can also use Tooth Serum to help maintain the colour and protect your teeth. Both the home gel and Tooth Serum are available for purchase from your dentist.

What Our Patients Say

“Wonderful experience with Gina, Jennifer and the team there!! I originally made an appointment here as they are one of the few places I could find that gave a free consultation as at that point I was just looking for advice.

I ended up doing a great Invisalign treatment followed by teeth whitening. I now love every photo I see of my teeth when before all I could think about was if they looked crooked. The team were also able to accommodate City hour’s which really helped.

Definitely recommend!!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Two major points to consider; 1. Safety 2. Effectiveness

Safety – As already mentioned illegal tooth whitening is still rife and combinations of ill fitting, leaking whitening trays and formulations containing dangerous acids and abrasive particles pose a serious risk.

The legal limit of Hydrogen Peroxide (the agent used for tooth whitening) that dentists can prescribe in the UK is 6%. Regulations in the UK limit the amount of Hydrogen Peroxide to maximum 0.1% for any off the shelf system. This is 6000 times weaker than the professional whitening and has very little to no impact on improving the long term whiteness of the teeth. Beware of the “whitening toothpastes” many of these are abrasive and may remove some surface stains but will also rub away enamel over time.

Effectiveness – A lot of social media influencers who pose on the Internet using various whitening strips, paint and UV lights. Unfortunately the reality of these systems are that all they do is dehydrate the teeth so that very temporarily (48 hours maximum) they will look slightly whiter. There is a big question mark over many of their safety and long term damage to the teeth and gums.

The most important thing to establish with your dentist is “Why are your teeth sensitive?”.

For many patients the sensitivity can be managed before considering teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening can cause some mild and temporary sensitivity but your experienced clinician at Chelsea and Fulham dentist will be able to guide you through a routine and system that allows even people with sensitive teeth to obtain a whiter smile. Just because you have sensitive teeth does not mean you cannot whiten your teeth.

NO! There is no evidence to show that any of these products whiten your teeth.

Bicarbonate soda is a versatile ingredient and has endless uses from kitchen cleaning and cooking to removing stubborn carpet stains and neutralising odours. Teeth-wise however, it may do a fabulous job in lifting the red wine or coffee stains from the tooth surface, as will charcoal toothpaste, but they are abrasive so they can wear your teeth – I hope you haven’t already forgotten the point that tooth tissue will never grow back once it wears away.

No they will not. Because you are whitening your teeth gradually night by night at home, when you get to a shade you are happy with you can stop – you have control. Your dentist will discuss with you what results you are trying to achieve but for most people we are trying to match the shade of your teeth to the shade of the whites of your eyes.
