Teeth Whitening

A brighter, whiter smile can boost your confidence and transform your appearance. At Larkham House Dental Practice, we provide safe, effective, and personalised professional teeth whitening treatments to help you achieve the results you’re looking for.

Why Consider Professional Teeth Whitening?

Over time, teeth naturally lose their brightness due to:

Coffee, tea, red wine, and other staining foods/drinks

Smoking or tobacco use

Ageing, which darkens enamel

Certain medications or trauma to teeth

Professional whitening offers:

Safe treatment under the care of qualified dentists

Noticeable results that drugstore whitening products cannot achieve

Long-lasting effects with proper care

A tailored treatment plan specific to your smile goals

Safety, Sensitivity & Possible Complications

Is it safe?

Yes. Clinical studies show whitening with dentist-supervised products is safe. The effect on enamel from a full course of whitening is no greater than drinking one fizzy drink.

Will it hurt?

Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation. These effects usually disappear once treatment ends. Sensitive-tooth toothpaste can help manage this.

Will it whiten crowns or fillings?

No. Whitening only works on natural teeth. Alternative cosmetic options can be discussed for crowns, veneers, or composite restorations.

How Long Will Results Last?

Results can last up to three years, depending on your lifestyle. You can extend results by:

Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste

Reducing coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco use

Attending regular hygiene visits for stain removal

Step-by-Step: How Teeth Whitening Works at Larkham House

Initial Examination & Consultation

Our dentists perform a full dental check-up to ensure whitening is suitable for you.

We discuss your goals and design a customised whitening programme.

Impressions or Scan

Putty impressions or a digital scan will be taken to send to the lab to construct moulded trays.

Tray Fitting

Trays are tried in & a demo application of the whitening done in the dental chair.

Application of Whitening Gel At Home

The trays are filled with a professional-grade whitening gel (carbamide peroxide).

They can be worn overnight or during a one-hour daily session.

Visible Results

Most patients see results after 10–14 applications.

Trays can be reused in the future for touch-ups.

Review

We review in 2 weeks to check everything is going well & you are happy with the results.

Alternatives to Professional Whitening

At Larkham House, we also offer other treatments to brighten your smile:

Whitening Toothpaste
While these don’t change the natural colour of teeth, they can help maintain results by removing surface stains.

Internal Bleaching
For non-vital (root-filled or traumatised) teeth that have darkened, bleach is applied inside the tooth until the desired shade is reached.

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) with AIRFLOW®
A gentle yet powerful cleaning method using warm water, air, and fine powder to remove stains and biofilm. Perfect for patients who prefer a natural polish without bleaching agents.

Very friendly staff! I suffer with anxiety and every time I have an appointment the dentist is very patient and goes through everything to make sure I am OK and not too nervous. The dentist nurses, particularly Rachel is amazing! Especially with my children when they come in makes me feel at ease!

From the offset call confirming my appointment this dental practice experience was five star compared to dentist based Midlands . Front desk staff / nurses excellent giving me the reassurance that I was booked in with a great dentist as I personally have a fear of the dentist being in my late 30s . After my review etc with the dentist it was forgone conclusion that a full on extraction was required the dentist himself was unbelievable reassuring excellent service total professionalism which I haven’t come across recently, great team whom care about the patient journey I most certainly didn’t just feel like a number under their care . Thank you to all staff at Larkham House Dental Practice.
