Teeth Whitening

Do you dream of flashing a brilliant, confident smile that leaves a lasting impression? Say goodbye to worries about smiling or hiding from photos. The Dental Care Centre is your premier destination for teeth whitening in London.
Our exceptional teeth whitening services, state-of-the-art treatments, and skilled professionals guarantee to transform your smile and boost your confidence. We have performed several thousand whitening procedures and are among the most experienced clinics in the UK for teeth whitening.
The Science Behind Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a safe and non-invasive cosmetic dental procedure designed to eliminate stains and discoloration from your teeth.
Age, smoking, and the consumption of staining beverages such as coffee, tea, and red wine can cause teeth to become darker than their original shade.
The teeth whitening procedure typically uses whitening agents such as hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide, which break down the bonds in stain molecules, making them weak and easy to remove.
At the Dental Care Centre, we provide convenient at-home teeth whitening kits to enhance your smile.
At-Home Whitening Kits: Our team will create custom-fitted trays tailored to your unique dental structure and provide you with professional-grade whitening gel. You can whiten your teeth at your convenience by following our easy-to-understand instructions until you achieve your desired brightness level, and you can continue to maintain that brightness for a lifetime.
The Teeth Whitening Process
The teeth whitening process at the Dental Care Centre for at-home whitening kits consists of two phases: the dental office and the at-home phases.
Dental Office Phase
Your journey to a brighter smile begins with an initial consultation with our London’s top teeth whitening experts. During this session, we will:
- Assess your current dental health.
- Discuss your teeth whitening goals and expectations.
- Determine the most suitable teeth whitening method specifically for your needs.
After deciding to proceed with at-home whitening kits, we will take an impression of your teeth to create custom-fit trays tailored to your specific teeth alignment.
At your next visit, you will receive your custom-fit trays, along with professional-grade whitening gel and detailed instructions on how to use them, including the recommended duration for daily use until you achieve your desired level of whiteness.

Home phase
Follow the instructions provided by our dental experts carefully to ensure safe and effective teeth whitening.
Step 1: Preparing for Treatment
Before starting your home teeth whitening journey, it is essential to:
- Ensure your teeth are clean and free of any debris or plaque.
- Brush and floss thoroughly before proceeding.
- Inspect the custom-fitted trays to make sure they are clean and undamaged.
- Familiarise yourself with the provided instructions to ensure a complete understanding of the process.
Step 2: Applying the Whitening Gel
- Filling the Trays
- Squeeze a small amount of whitening gel into the trays. Be careful not to overfill; a small drop in each compartment is usually sufficient.
- Spread the gel evenly throughout the tray, ensuring that it covers the entire front surface of your teeth.
- Inserting the trays
- Carefully position the filled trays over your upper and lower teeth. They should fit comfortably and snugly.
- Wipe away any excess gel that may come into contact with your gums, as it can cause irritation.
- Wearing the Trays
- The recommended wear time for our home teeth whitening kits varies depending on the product. Follow the instructions provided, but most treatments typically require 30 minutes to one hour per session.
- During this time, you may continue with your usual activities; the trays are designed to be discreet and comfortable.
- Monitoring the progress
- At-home whitening kits provide a gradual transition for your tooth colour.
- You can use the provided shade guide to track the progress of your whitening treatment. Results may become noticeable after just a few sessions.
Step 3: Post-Whitening Care
- Removing the trays
- After the recommended wear time, gently remove the trays from your teeth.
- Rinse the trays and your mouth thoroughly with water.
- Cleaning and Storing
- Clean the trays using a soft toothbrush and mild, non-abrasive toothpaste.
- Store the trays in their protective case to keep them safe and hygienic.
Maintenance and Post-Treatment Care
To maintain your newly brightened smile, avoid staining foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, and red wine. Additionally, practice good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. Schedule regular check-ups and dental hygiene visits to maintain your oral health.
Depending on your lifestyle and habits, you may require occasional touch-up treatments. Our kits often include extra gel for this purpose.

Absolutely. When performed by trained dental professionals like ours, teeth whitening is a safe and effective cosmetic procedure.
The duration of results varies from person to person. With proper maintenance and care, your brighter smile can last for a lifetime.
Whitening results can be maintained through daily brushing and flossing, avoiding staining food and drinks, refraining from smoking, and maintaining regular check-ups and hygiene visits.
Some individuals may experience temporary tooth sensitivity, but our team will take measures to minimise any discomfort during and after treatment.
Not with us. Professional teeth whitening provided by our experts is safe and does not cause any harm to your teeth. Our teeth whitening experts use top brands of teeth whitening solutions and construct customised trays based on an impression of your teeth to allow for a safe and efficient procedure.
It is essential to avoid any staining foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, and berries and refrain from smoking directly after your teeth whitening session.
Professional teeth whitening offered by our experts provides safe and efficient teeth whitening results. While over-the-counter teeth whitening kits contain weak solutions that may not provide the whitening effect you opt for. They also may cause damage to your teeth’ surface and cause soft tissue irritation.
Teeth whitening solution does not affect the shade of existing restoration, whether veneers, crowns or dental fillings.
At-home whitening kits provide a gradual transition of your teeth colour. The whitening results may show after 2-3 weeks of regular use.
Teeth whitening cost depends on several factors, including your needs, expectations, and the chosen procedure. At Dental Care Centre, we offer affordable prices starting from £350. Book a teeth whitening consultation with our experts to learn more.
