Understanding teeth whitening.
Professional teeth whitening lightens the natural shade of your teeth using clinically approved whitening gels, supervised by a dental professional. At Vestadent this is typically provided as a custom take-home system and/or in-practice treatment, tailored to your teeth.
Because it's dentist-led, your gums and existing dental work are checked first, the strength is appropriate, and the process is monitored — which is safer and more predictable than over-the-counter or beauty-salon alternatives.
Who it's for
You may be suitable if
- ✓You'd like to lighten the natural colour of your teeth
- ✓Your teeth and gums are healthy (we'll check first)
- ✓You want a dentist-supervised, regulated treatment
- ✓You have realistic expectations of an even, natural brightness
- ✓You're 18 or over
We'll also consider
- !In the UK, tooth whitening must legally be carried out under a dental professional
- !Whitening lightens natural teeth — it doesn't change crowns, veneers or fillings
- !Some temporary sensitivity is common and settles
- !Results vary between individuals and aren't permanent
- !It isn't suitable during pregnancy or under the age of 18
Only an in-person assessment can confirm what's right for you — that's what your consultation is for.
