For a brighter smile, professional whitening is a well-evidenced, non-invasive first step. Patients across Hasguard choose it because the shade lift is calibrated to their teeth and sensitivity. The timescale ranges from a single 90-minute visit to a fortnight of overnight tray wear.
Sensitivity, Aftercare and Keeping Results
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.
For 48 hours afterwards, avoid intensely pigmented foods and drinks — coffee, tea, red wine, berries, tomato sauces — while the enamel is temporarily more porous. Results typically last 12–24 months before a short top-up restores the shade.
Whitening Options Available in Hasguard
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 (an in-chair session followed by take-home top-ups) is often recommended in Hasguard because it maximises the initial jump and lets you maintain the shade over time.
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.

Does teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Sensitivity is the most common side effect and is usually temporary — resolving within 24–48 hours of treatment. Using a sensitivity toothpaste for two weeks before starting whitening reduces the risk significantly. Patients with pre-existing sensitivity should discuss this with their dentist before beginning treatment.
Why is it illegal for beauty salons to whiten teeth?
In the UK, tooth whitening is legally restricted to registered dental professionals because it involves clinical assessment and regulated peroxide concentrations. Beauty salons or non-dentists offering whitening are acting illegally, and treatment without a proper dental check carries real risks to teeth and gums.
