Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional whitening ensures safety, effectiveness and supervision that over-the-counter products cannot provide. Patients choose whitening at Thornbury Dental Wellness because it supports:
- A naturally brighter, healthier-looking smile
- Removal of common stains from coffee, tea, red wine and smoking
- Predictable, dentist-monitored whitening
- Gentle application suitable for most healthy teeth and gums
- Custom-made trays for even, consistent results
- A more confident appearance for everyday life, events or photographs
Whitening is one of the simplest ways to refresh your smile without altering the structure of your teeth.
How Teeth Whitening Works
Your whitening treatment begins with an examination to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and suitable for whitening. Once approved, your dentist will guide you through the recommended whitening method.
Step-by-step treatment process:
Step 1: Consultation and Shade Assessment
We begin with a discussion of your goals and an assessment of your current tooth shade.
Step 2: Custom Whitening Trays
Precise impressions or digital scans are taken to create trays that fit comfortably and ensure even whitening.
Step 3: Application of Whitening Gel
You will use a dentist-approved whitening gel at home as instructed by your clinician.
Step 4: Gradual Brightening
Your teeth lighten gradually over the treatment period, with results monitored for safety and predictability.
Step 5: Final Review and Maintenance Advice
Your dentist will assess your results and provide aftercare guidance to help maintain brightness long term.
Whitening results vary depending on your natural tooth shade and lifestyle habits, but many patients achieve noticeably brighter, natural-looking smiles.
Supporting Long-Term Results
To help maintain your whitening outcome, our team may recommend:
- Regular Advanced Hygiene appointments
- Reducing staining foods and drinks
- Using a straw for highly pigmented beverages
- Good at-home brushing and interdental cleaning

These steps support both oral health and the longevity of your treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes. Whitening carried out by a qualified dentist is safe and follows strict clinical standards. Your dentist will check your oral health before treatment begins.
How long do whitening results last?
Most patients enjoy results for several months to a few years depending on diet, lifestyle and oral hygiene. Occasional top-ups can help maintain brightness.
Does whitening work on crowns or fillings?
No. Artificial restorations do not change colour. Your dentist will discuss options if you have existing dental work in visible areas.
Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some temporary sensitivity can occur. Your clinician will provide advice and recommend desensitising products if necessary.
Am I suitable for teeth whitening?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are suitable. Your dentist will assess suitability during your consultation.
How long does teeth whitening treatment take?
Treatment time depends on the method used. At home whitening is typically carried out over one to two weeks, while in-practice options can achieve noticeable results more quickly. Your dentist will recommend the most suitable approach for you.

What our patients say
Teeth whitening for sensitive teeth
Sensitivity is the most common reason people put off whitening. Some short-term sensitivity during and shortly after treatment is common, and for most people it is temporary. It is a good reason to have whitening done under supervision rather than from a kit bought online, where the strength of the gel and the fit of the tray are outside anyone’s control.
At your consultation we check the health of your teeth and gums first and look at what is causing the discolouration, because not all staining responds to whitening in the same way. If you already have sensitive teeth, tell us before we start so it can be taken into account. Our guide to whitening with sensitive teeth covers this in more detail.
How much does teeth whitening cost?
Advanced Whitening at Thornbury Dental Wellness is £599, and patients on our membership plan receive a 10% discount. You can see it alongside our other treatment fees on the fees page. Anything specific to your own teeth is confirmed with you at your consultation before treatment is booked.
