Whitening supplied by a registered dental professional uses far stronger gel than anything sold over the counter. Practices in Fearnmore tailor the concentration to your natural shade rather than a one-size-fits-all gel. Depending on the method, you'll see change immediately or across a short take-home course.
Tooth Sensitivity and Aftercare
Sensitivity is the most common side effect — usually a sharp, transient twinge with air or cold that settles within 24–48 hours. A sensitivity toothpaste used for two weeks beforehand noticeably reduces it.
A brief 'white diet' — skipping strongly coloured food and drink for two days — protects the fresh result. Long-term, good hygiene and an occasional top-up every 12–18 months keep teeth bright.
Whitening Options Available in Fearnmore
In-chair (laser/light-activated) whitening is done at the practice in one 60–90 minute appointment. A high-concentration gel is applied and activated with a light or laser, giving immediate results — typically a 4–8 shade lift, depending on your starting point.
Take-home tray whitening involves bespoke trays and dentist-supplied gel worn over roughly a fortnight — excellent, controllable results at your own pace.
Combined whitening blends both approaches: immediate lift in the chair, then home trays to fine-tune and sustain the colour.
Over-the-counter kits are legally capped at very low peroxide levels and can't match professional results. They suit minor maintenance at best, not a genuine shade change.

Can I whiten my teeth if I'm under 18?
No — it's not legally performed on under-18s in the UK, since younger enamel is still maturing and more vulnerable to whitening agents. Eligibility starts at 18 with good dental health.
Am I suitable for teeth whitening?
Most adults in good dental health are good candidates. It's not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, under 18, or with severe gum disease or untreated decay — and intrinsic staining from antibiotics or fluorosis responds poorly, worth discussing with a dentist first.
