Absolutely yes. In-clinic instant laser teeth whitening is one of the most popular teeth whitening in London. It’s carried out by the dentist in the clinic and produces excellent whitening results in a little over an hour. You will walk away with an instantly brighter smile.
In-clinic instant laser light teeth whitening is available to patients who would much rather have their teeth whitened at the clinic and achieve results instantly. The procedure is carried under an LED light (not a laser light); the LED light activates whitening compounds in the whitening gel that is applied to the teeth, accelerating the laser light teeth whitening process to a little over an hour.

In-clinic laser teeth whitening is conducted in clinic by the dentist and is an instant whitening treatment. The treatment involves the application of a whitening gel to the teeth, followed by a white LED light (it’s not actually a laser light) directed at the patient’s teeth. The LED light acts as a catalyst to initiate whitening radicals in the gel, accelerating the whitening process and producing whiter teeth. It can achieve whitening results up-to 6 shades whiter in a little over an hour – almost instantly.
Patients with teeth shade A2 or less (i.e. stained teeth) show the most improvement with the in-clinic instant laser teeth whitening system, with results easily viewable. Patients with starting teeth shades higher than A1 (i.e. whiter teeth) will show improvement as well, however, the results are not as dramatic as their teeth shade was closer to white to start with.
The short answer is – yes, instant laser teeth whitening is very safe when carried out by a qualified dental professional following an assessment of your teeth and gums.
Laser light teeth whitening, when carried out by a dentist, is completely safe. The LED light (the light used is LED light, not a laser light) does not damage teeth in any way. The light simply acts as a catalyst, activating whitening agents in the whitening gel to accelerate the laser teeth whitening process.
The dentist uses a controlled whitening gel and protective measures to minimise irritation and reduce the risk of complications. They will also always check your oral health to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and safe for laser light teeth whitening prior to starting any treatment.
Laser teeth whitening does not cause enamel damage when performed correctly. However, excessive heat, inappropriate gel application or unsuitable treatment settings can increase the risk of sensitivity and irritation.
The whitening gel used during laser teeth whitening can irritate or chemically burn the gums if it comes into direct contact with the soft tissue. A dentist protects the gums with a suitable barrier before applying the whitening gel and activating the system, helping reduce the risk of irritation.

Laser teeth whitening is generally suitable for adults with healthy teeth and gums who want to improve the colour of their natural teeth. A dental examination beforehand helps identify problems such as tooth decay, gum disease or damaged enamel that may need treatment first.
Patients with yellowing caused by coffee, tea, red wine, smoking or natural ageing often achieve noticeable improvements with professional whitening. Brown, grey or medication-related discolouration may respond less predictably and require an alternative cosmetic approach.
People with untreated cavities, inflamed gums, cracked teeth or significant tooth sensitivity should have these issues assessed before whitening. Pregnant women or women how are breastfeeding are usually advised to postpone teeth whitening.
Laser teeth whitening can typically lighten teeth by around 4–8 shades in a professional session, depending on the condition of the teeth enamel and the original tooth colour. Yellow or surface-stained teeth often respond better than teeth with deeper or grey discolouration.
The degree of whitening depends on your natural tooth colour, the type of staining and the concentration of the whitening gel. Your dentist can assess your teeth before treatment to estimate the likely shade improvement.
Most patients notice a visible difference immediately after laser teeth whitening, with the final shade becoming clearer as any temporary dehydration settles. The amount of whitening achieved varies between individuals, so an exact shade change cannot be guaranteed.
Yes, some patients may achieve an improvement of up to eight shades, although this is not guaranteed for every patient. Your starting tooth colour, the state of your enamel and the type of discolouration will influence the final result.
Laser teeth whitening results typically last 6–12 months, although some patients maintain their brighter smile for longer. The exact duration depends on the whitening system used, your diet and your oral hygiene habits.
Consumption of straining drinks such as coffee, tea or red wine frequently can cause whitening results to not last that long and stain quickly. Smoking and tobacco use can also reduce how long your teeth maintain their newly whitened appearance.
Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between your teeth and attending regular hygiene appointments can help preserve your results. Limiting staining foods and drinks can also help keep your teeth looking brighter for longer.
Repeat whitening may be appropriate when your teeth begin to darken, provided your dentist confirms that further treatment is suitable. Your dentist can recommend an appropriate interval based on your oral health, tooth sensitivity and the whitening system used.
The treatment starts with the dentist conducting a full checkup of your teeth and gums to identify and treat any issues that could impact the whitening process (e.g. tooth decay and gum disease) prior to starting teeth whitening. The teeth whitening treatment is most effective when teeth are receptive to whitening – a dental hygienist clean helps prepare the teeth for the whitening process. We often recommend a hygiene clean in London prior to starting laser light teeth whitening.
At the start of the whitening procedure, the dentist will note the patients starting teeth shade to help see the difference once the treatment is completed. The dentist will then do the following –
1.The dentist will prepare your teeth and gums and then apply a layer of teeth whitening gel to the teeth.
2.To speed up the whitening process, the dentist will use the Philips Zoom LED whitening lamp to apply a laser light (LED) to the teeth. The laser light acts as a catalyst for initiating whitening agents in the gel, accelerates the teeth whitening process significantly.
3.This is then repeated four times.
4.Once the desired teeth shade is achieved, the dentist will apply a post-treatment protective gel to the enamel; the gel helps reduce sensitivity to the teeth.
