What is professional teeth whitening?

Professional whitening uses a clinical-grade gel applied to your teeth via thin, custom-made trays moulded from a 3D scan. The gel lifts stains out of the enamel from the inside, so the natural colour of your teeth becomes visibly brighter over one to two weeks of daily wear.

Unlike supermarket strips or kits, professional whitening is supervised by a dentist from start to finish, dispensed at a concentration that actually moves the shade, and delivered in trays that fit your own teeth precisely so the gel stays where it should and your gums stay protected.

Is teeth whitening right for me?

Whitening is most effective for patients who:

  • Have natural teeth that have yellowed or dulled with age, coffee, tea, red wine or smoking
  • Have healthy gums and no untreated decay
  • Are over 18
  • Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Want a noticeable but natural improvement, not a fluorescent Hollywood white

If your discolouration is from a single dead tooth, internal staining or old fillings, we will talk you through the alternatives at your consultation.

The Hacton Dental Care difference.

Dentist-prescribed, not over the counter

Our whitening uses a clinical-grade gel that is regulated and dispensed by a dentist, so it actually works and it's safe for your teeth and gums. Over the counter strips and supermarket kits are restricted to a dose so low that the results are barely visible.

Custom trays, not a one-size mouthguard

We take a 3D digital scan of your teeth and your trays are made to fit them exactly. A precise fit means the gel sits where it should, your gums stay protected, and you get an even, predictable result.

Backed by a full check first

Whitening should never go on top of decay or untreated gum disease. Every patient has a full clinical check before whitening starts, so we treat anything underneath first and you don't end up with sensitivity or a patchy result.

At home, at your own pace

You wear the trays for two to four hours a day (or overnight) at home for one to two weeks. No long appointments, no time off work, just steady whitening you can fit around your life.

Clear honest expectations

We will tell you up front what whitening can and cannot achieve. It works brilliantly on yellowed and dulled teeth, less well on grey or tetracycline staining, and it does not change the colour of crowns, veneers or fillings.

Safe for your enamel

The gel works by lifting stains out of the enamel, not by stripping the enamel away. With a properly fitted tray and the right concentration, whitening is one of the safest cosmetic treatments in dentistry.

Real patients, real results.

Nervous about whitening?

Whitening is one of the most non-invasive cosmetic treatments we offer, with no drilling, no injections, and no shaping of teeth. Your only commitment beyond the consultation is wearing trays at home, and you can stop at any point if you change your mind.

If you have ever had an issue with sensitive teeth, tell us at your consultation and we will adjust the protocol so the experience is comfortable throughout. Sensitivity gel and an adjusted wear time make a real difference for sensitive patients.

Whitening questions, answered.

How long does professional teeth whitening last?

Most patients keep their result for one to two years before needing a short top-up, depending on diet, smoking and how often they use the trays.

Does teeth whitening damage your enamel?

No, professional whitening lifts stains out of the enamel without damaging it, when supervised properly by a dentist.

Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?

Some patients get short-lived sensitivity during the first few days, which we manage with a sensitivity gel and adjusted wear time, and which always settles fully after treatment.

How white can my teeth get?

Most patients move 4 to 8 shades whiter, with the final result depending on your starting shade and the cause of your discolouration.

Can I have whitening if I'm pregnant?

We do not whiten during pregnancy or while you are breastfeeding, simply as a precaution as the long-term studies don't exist either way.

Is supermarket whitening as good as professional whitening?

No, over the counter products are limited by law to a much weaker concentration that does not produce a noticeable result on most patients.

Does whitening work on crowns, veneers or fillings?

No, whitening only changes the colour of natural tooth enamel, so any existing crowns, veneers or white fillings will need replacing afterwards if you want a fully matched smile.
