For a brighter smile, professional whitening is a well-evidenced, non-invasive first step. It's a mainstay of cosmetic dentistry in Gendros, delivered under proper clinical supervision. Results can appear in a single in-chair session or build gradually over two to three weeks at home.
Whitening Options Available in Gendros
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 uses custom trays and professional-strength gel worn daily (30 minutes to overnight) over 2–4 weeks. It builds a gradual result with less sensitivity than in-chair treatment.
Combined whitening pairs a fast in-chair kick-start with trays for maintenance — a popular route in Gendros for people who want quick results that last.
Over-the-counter kits sold in shops are limited by law to weak gel concentrations, so they're fine for touch-ups but no substitute for dentist-led whitening.

Professional whitening is legally restricted to registered dental professionals in the UK. Always verify that any clinic offering whitening treatment is registered with the General Dental Council before proceeding.
Tooth Sensitivity and Aftercare
Some patients feel sensitivity during whitening, particularly in-chair. Using a potassium-nitrate or stannous-fluoride toothpaste for one to two weeks before treatment cuts this significantly, and a desensitising gel can be used between sessions.
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.
