Here your teeth are whitened in the dental chair. A protective barrier is placed on your gums and lips, then professional whitening gel is applied to your teeth. A lamp is positioned over the teeth to activate the bleaching process, showing how professional teeth whitening can brighten teeth safely. Watch this clip to see how it works.
After one hour, you can expect your teeth to look a few shades brighter, making this a popular choice for many patients who have an important event coming up and want a noticeably brighter smile.
Here we custom-make lightweight plastic mouth trays for you that fit snugly over your teeth. These custom fitted whitening trays are used with whitening gel, which you wear at night or for a few hours during the day as directed.
Results are normally seen over 2 weeks, helping your teeth appear whiter and brighter. For patients interested in whitening teeth at home, this whitening treatment supports smile confidence with a planned follow up and practical guidance.
Good teeth whitening begins with a proper dental assessment, not a one size fits all kit. At Portland Street Dental, your dentist can look at your oral health, discuss the shade you would like to achieve, and check whether whitening treatment is suitable before you begin.
This is especially useful if you have fillings, crowns, porcelain veneers or bridges, as these materials respond differently from natural teeth. A professional conversation helps you understand what teeth whitening work can realistically improve and whether any general treatments should be considered first.
As a dental practice providing both general dental care and cosmetic dentistry, the team can help you plan whitening teeth safely alongside routine check ups, X rays where needed, and advice for sensitive teeth or healthy gums.
A noticeably brighter smile is easier to maintain when whitening is supported by steady oral health habits. Regular dental check ups, dental hygiene appointments and scale and polish visits can help keep your mouth feeling clean while your dentist monitors your teeth and gums over time.
If you choose home whitening, custom fitted whitening trays are made to hold the whitening gel closely against your teeth. Using professional whitening gel as advised by the dental surgery helps make the treatment more controlled than shop bought options, with guidance available if you notice sensitivity or have questions.
Portland Street Dental also offers wider dental services, from preventative dentistry and fillings to root canal care and missing teeth options. That means your whiter smile can be planned as part of your overall dental care, rather than treated as a separate cosmetic step.
