Teeth whitening in Maida Vale & Queen’s Park
Teeth darken with coffee, wine, age and time. Professional whitening lifts years of staining safely, without touching the tooth itself.

Two ways to whiten
Enlighten Evolution is the only whitening system that guarantees a B1 shade, the whitest natural tooth colour, for every patient. It combines two weeks of home whitening in custom trays with a final in-practice session, and its low-sensitivity formula means it suits patients who have struggled with whitening before.
Our custom home whitening kit is the simpler option. We make lightweight trays that fit your teeth precisely, and you wear them with a professional-strength gel overnight or for a few hours a day. Results show within a week and settle over two.
Why whitening should always be done by a dentist
In the UK it is illegal for anyone but a registered dental professional to whiten teeth with an effective concentration of gel. Beauty salons and online kits either use ineffective products or unregulated ones that can burn gums and damage enamel. Under a dentist, whitening is one of the safest treatments in dentistry and we check your teeth are healthy first.

FAQs
Teeth whitening: your questions answered.
How white will my teeth go?
Enlighten guarantees a B1 shade. Home whitening typically lifts teeth by six to eight shades depending on your starting colour and the type of staining.
Does whitening damage teeth?
No. Dentist-supervised whitening does not remove or weaken enamel. Some patients notice temporary sensitivity, which settles within a day or two of finishing.
How long does it last?
One to three years depending on diet and habits. Occasional top-ups with your existing trays keep the shade indefinitely.
Will my crowns, veneers or bonding whiten too?
No, only natural teeth change colour. If you have front-tooth restorations we will discuss matching them afterwards.
