Why have teeth whitening?
Teeth can discolour for various reasons, including eating and drinking lots of dark or rich coloured items, smoking, and as part of the natural ageing process. Whitening treatment can give you a youthful appearance and dazzling smile and is one of the easiest ways to improve the look of your teeth.
Teeth whitening is a simple and popular cosmetic treatment, using custom trays and specialised gel to give you the brighter shade you want in a matter of just weeks. Whitening is not effective on dental restorations such as amalgam fillings, and metal or porcelain crowns, but we will discuss this with you at your initial consultation.
What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens the colour of your teeth and removes stains and discolouration.
Our Smile Studio home whitening system utilises professional-grade whitening gels and custom-fitted trays to safely and effectively lift these stains, revealing a brighter, whiter smile. We believe it offers one of the best teeth whitening experiences available for achieving a noticeably lighter shade.
Treatment steps to your teeth whitening at home
Book an appointment
Consultation & planning
If you are interested in teeth whitening, we first see you for a consultation appointment. We make sure you are suitable for treatment and take digital scans and images so your custom-made teeth whitening trays can be created.
Comfortable & bespoke treatment
When the trays are ready, we will invite you back into the practice to show you how to apply the high-strength gel to the trays and fit them onto your teeth. We will discuss how long you need to wear the trays for the best results (usually several hours a day). Although this treatment is carried out at home, you can contact us if you have any concerns, and we can book you an appointment.
Your new whiter, brighter smile!
After just a few sessions wearing your teeth whitening trays, you should start to see the difference! After wearing the trays for a few weeks, we will invite you in for a follow-up appointment to check your teeth have reached the desired shade. Then all that’s left is for you to start smiling with pride!

Determining a "good price" for teeth whitening can depend on several factors, including the type of whitening treatment, the strength of the whitening agents used, and the expertise of the dental professional. At our practice in Beckenham, we offer our professional Smile Studio home teeth whitening kit for a reasonable price of £395. This cost includes a consultation with our experienced dental team, custom-fitted whitening trays for optimal comfort and effectiveness, and professional-grade whitening gel. We believe this price represents excellent value for a safe, effective, and dentist-supervised teeth whitening treatment that delivers noticeable and lasting results. When considering the best teeth whitening options, it's important to factor in not just the initial cost but also the quality of the materials, the level of professional guidance, and the potential for achieving your desired shade safely.
In most cases, it's never too late to consider teeth whitening! While the degree of whitening achieved can vary depending on the type and severity of staining, even older teeth can often benefit significantly from a professional teeth whitening treatment. Age-related yellowing and staining that has accumulated over the years can often be effectively addressed with a quality teeth whitening system like our Smile Studio home whitening. During your consultation at our Beckenham practice, our dentists will assess the condition of your teeth and discuss realistic expectations for the whitening process. We can determine if teeth whitening is a suitable option for you, regardless of your age, and tailor a treatment plan to help you achieve a brighter smile.
Absolutely! Choosing to have your teeth whitening treatment supervised by a dentist offers numerous advantages over over-the-counter products. Firstly, dentists use professional-strength whitening agents that are more effective at removing deep-set stains. Secondly, at our Beckenham practice, we create custom-fitted trays for our Smile Studio home whitening system. These trays ensure the whitening gel is applied evenly to all tooth surfaces, minimising the risk of gum irritation and maximising the whitening results. Furthermore, a dentist can assess your oral health beforehand to ensure you are a suitable candidate for teeth whitening and can monitor your progress throughout the treatment. While over-the-counter options may seem cheaper initially, they often provide less dramatic and less predictable results and can even pose a risk to your gums and enamel if not used correctly. Investing in professional teeth whitening with us ensures a safe, comfortable, and effective path to a brighter smile. For the best teeth whitening experience and peace of mind, choosing a dental professional is highly recommended.
Teeth whitening is generally not considered a painful procedure, but some individuals may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or mild gum irritation. The level of sensitivity can vary from person to person. Our Smile Studio home whitening system is designed with patient comfort in mind. The custom-fitted trays help to minimise contact between the whitening gel and the gums, reducing the potential for irritation. We also provide specific instructions on how to use the whitening gel to further minimise any discomfort. If you have a history of sensitive teeth, please inform our dental team during your consultation in Beckenham. We can discuss strategies to manage any potential sensitivity, such as using a toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth before and during your teeth whitening treatment. Any sensitivity experienced is usually mild and temporary, subsiding shortly after each whitening session.
The longevity of your teeth whitening results can vary depending on several factors, including your lifestyle habits and oral hygiene practices. Generally, the effects of professional teeth whitening can last anywhere from several months to a few years. To prolong your brighter smile achieved with our Smile Studio home whitening in Beckenham, we recommend:
- Practicing good oral hygiene: Brush and floss regularly to remove plaque and prevent new stains from forming.
- Being mindful of your diet: Limit your consumption of staining foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and dark sodas.
- Avoiding tobacco products: Smoking and chewing tobacco can significantly stain your teeth.
- Consider touch-up treatments: We can provide you with top-up whitening gel to use periodically to maintain your desired shade.
While teeth whitening is not a permanent solution, following these recommendations can help you enjoy your brighter smile for a longer time. We can also discuss a personalised maintenance plan during your consultation at our practice.
