How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
All whitening systems use a bleaching method to remove teeth stains to provider a whiter appearance to the teeth. The bleaching agent is a hydrogen-peroxide (6%) based gel.
For home whitening, we will take impressions of your teeth and create custom trays that fit perfectly to your teeth. The hydrogen peroxide gel is then placed into the trays and held against the teeth to whiten them. Good results in 2 weeks.
For in-clinic whitening, the hydrogen peroxide gel is applied to the teeth at the surgery. A LED light is shone on the teeth, acting as a catalyst to activate whitening agents in the gel, accelerating the whitening process. Whiter teeth in 90 mins.
How Does Home Teeth Whitening Work?
Dental Consultation And Assessment
The dentist checks the health of your teeth and gums to ensure they are healthy enough for treatment. They will discuss your desired results and recommend a suitable whitening gel and treatment schedule.
Custom-Made Whitening Trays
Your dentist takes impressions or digital scans of your teeth to create custom-made whitening trays that fit closely around them. These trays help keep the whitening gel in contact with your teeth while reducing the risk of gel leaking onto your gums.
Applying The Whitening Gel
You place the dentist-prescribed whitening gel into the trays and wear them for the recommended time, following your dentist’s instructions. The active ingredient, usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, breaks down stains within the enamel and dentine to lighten the colour of your teeth.
Gradual Whitening Results
You repeat the treatment over several days or weeks, depending on the whitening system and the results you want to achieve. Your dentist can monitor your progress and advise you on managing any temporary tooth sensitivity during treatment.
How Does In-Clinic Teeth Whitening Work?
Dental Examination And Shade Assessment
Your dentist checks your teeth and gums to ensure they are suitable for professional whitening and records your starting tooth shade. They then explain the treatment process and the expected results based on the whitening system being used.
Protecting Your Gums And Applying The Whitening Gel
A protective barrier is applied to your gums to prevent the whitening agent from irritating the soft tissues. Your dentist then coats the visible surfaces of your teeth with a professional whitening gel containing an active ingredient, usually hydrogen peroxide.
Activating The Whitening Gel With A Specialised Lamp
A specialised whitening lamp is used to activate the whitening agents in the gel, helping accelerate the whitening process. The lamp is positioned in front of your teeth. The light is used for a specified period, allowing the whitening gel to work on stains and discolouration under your dentist’s supervision.
Removing The Gel And Checking Your Results
Once the treatment cycle is complete, your dentist removes the whitening gel and assesses the change in your tooth shade. You will receive aftercare advice to help manage any temporary sensitivity and maintain your brighter smile.
In-Clinic Teeth Whitening Vs Home Teeth Whitening
| Feature | Home Teeth Whitening | In-Clinic Teeth Whitening |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment Process | Custom-made trays are used to apply whitening gel against the patient’s teeth during treatment at home. | Dentist applies whitening gel directly to your teeth. A specialised whitening lamp is used to quicken the whitening process. |
| Whitening Agent Strength | Uses dentist-prescribed whitening gel at a concentration suitable for home use. | Uses higher-strength whitening agents under dentist supervision, within applicable regulations. |
| Treatment Duration | Usually several days to a few weeks of repeated applications. | Usually completed in a single appointment, often lasting 60–90 minutes. |
| Speed Of Results | Teeth gradually become whiter throughout the treatment course. | Delivers faster, more immediate visible whitening in a single appointment. |
| Whitening Results | Substantial shade improvement is achievable. Results last longer when the full course is completed and whitening maintenance is undertaken. | Produces good shade improvement, dentists often recommend top up home whitening to maintain the desired result. |
| Whitening Lamp | Not required; the whitening gel works during the prescribed wearing time. | May be used as part of a light-activated whitening system. |
| Convenience | Whiten your teeth at home at a time that suits you. | Requires a dental appointment but offers a shorter initial treatment schedule. |
| Best For | Patients who want gradual shade improvement and potentially longer-lasting results. | Patients who want fast whitening results under direct supervision of the dentist. |
Key takeaway: Home teeth whitening can deliver stronger, longer-lasting results through a complete course of treatment, while in-clinic whitening offers faster visible improvements in a single appointment.
How Long Do Teeth Whitening Results Last?
Professional teeth whitening results typically last between 6 months and 3 years, depending on the whitening method, lifestyle habits and oral hygiene. Dentist-prescribed home whitening can provide longer-lasting results when the full treatment course is completed and appropriate maintenance is followed.
Factors That Affect How Long Whitening Lasts
Coffee, tea, red wine and smoking can cause new stains to develop, gradually darkening your teeth after treatment. Brushing twice daily, cleaning between your teeth and attending regular hygiene appointments can help preserve your brighter smile.
How To Maintain Your Whitening Results
Using dentist-approved whitening trays for occasional top-up treatments can help maintain your tooth shade over time. Your dentist can recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule based on your original tooth colour, the whitening system used and your sensitivity levels.
When To Consider Teeth Whitening Again
You may want to top up your whitening treatment when your teeth start to develop new surface stains. Before starting another course, consult your dentist to check your teeth and gums and establish whether further whitening is appropriate.
Is Professional Teeth Whitening Safe For Your Teeth And Gums?
Professional teeth whitening is generally safe when carried out by a registered dental professional using approved whitening products and appropriate concentrations. Your dentist checks your teeth and gums before treatment to identify problems such as tooth decay, gum disease or exposed roots that may need attention first.
Does Teeth Whitening Damage Tooth Enamel?
When used as prescribed by the dentist, professional whitening does not damage tooth enamel. This is because the whitening agent in the gels break down stains on the surface rather than remove the enamel surface. Using whitening products too frequently or incorrectly can increase sensitivity and irritate the gums.
Can Teeth Whitening Cause Tooth Sensitivity?
Temporary tooth sensitivity is a common side effect, particularly during treatment or shortly afterwards. Your dentist can recommend ways to reduce discomfort, such as adjusting the treatment schedule or using desensitising toothpaste.
How To Whiten Your Teeth Safely
Always follow your dentist’s instructions on how much whitening gel to use, how long to wear your trays and when to stop treatment. Avoid unregulated whitening products and salon treatments offered by non-dental professionals, as unsuitable products or incorrect application can harm your teeth and gums.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Professional Teeth Whitening With A Dentist?
People With Healthy Teeth And Gums
Professional teeth whitening is ideal for people with healthy teeth and gums who do not have untreated cavities, severe sensitivity or active gum problems.
People With Tooth Discolouration
It is most suitable for people with yellow or surface stains caused by ageing, food, drinks, smoking or lifestyle habits.
People Wanting Safe Professional Results
Those looking for a safer, more controlled whitening experience with dentist guidance and customised treatment are excellent candidates.
People With Realistic Whitening Goals
The best candidates understand that whitening improves the natural shade of teeth and may not change the colour of existing crowns, veneers or fillings.
Teeth Whitening Side Effects
Temporary Tooth Sensitivity
Tooth sensitivity is the most common side effect after professional teeth whitening and usually settles within a few days. It is often more noticeable when eating or drinking very hot, cold, or sweet foods.
Mild Gum Irritation
The whitening gel can sometimes irritate the gums if it comes into contact with the soft tissues. Professional treatment is carefully controlled to minimise this risk, and any irritation is typically short-lived.
Temporary White Spots
Some people notice small white patches on their teeth immediately after whitening. These are usually caused by temporary dehydration of the enamel and tend to disappear as the teeth naturally rehydrate.
Uneven Whitening Results
Teeth with fillings, crowns, veneers, or areas of enamel damage may whiten differently from natural tooth enamel. Your dentist will assess your smile beforehand and explain any expected differences in colour.
Existing Dental Problems May Become More Noticeable
Whitening can temporarily highlight issues such as cavities, cracked teeth, or exposed tooth roots by making them more sensitive. A dental examination before treatment helps identify and address these problems first.
