About In-Office Professional Whitening

In-office professional whitening is a dental procedure performed by qualified dental professionals where high-concentration hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel is applied directly to the teeth in a controlled clinical environment. The treatment typically takes 60-90 minutes during which the whitening agent is activated by special dental lights or lasers to accelerate the stain removal process, resulting in teeth that are six to eight shades whiter in a single appointment. Unlike at-home whitening options, in-office treatments deliver immediate results for even the toughest stains, including tetracycline discolouration, though the effects are not permanent and may require maintenance sessions. The procedure is painless and safe when performed by registered dental professionals, with costs typically ranging from £395 to £1,000 depending on the specific technique used and number of sessions required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Considering professional teeth whitening? At London Dental Specialists, our in-office whitening delivers dramatic results in just one visit. Using high-concentration bleaching agents activated by specialised light, we can brighten your smile by six to eight shades in a single 60-90 minute appointment. The procedure is completely painless, allowing you to relax while we transform your teeth. Though not permanent, professional whitening offers longer-lasting results than at-home alternatives. Many patients have questions about the process, effectiveness, and what to expect during treatment. Below, we've answered the most common queries to help you decide if our professional whitening service is right for your smile goals.

What is in-office professional teeth whitening?


In-office professional teeth whitening is a dental procedure performed by qualified dentists at London Dental Specialists to brighten your smile. The treatment involves applying a high-concentration hydrogen peroxide gel to your teeth, which is then activated by a special light to break down stains and discolouration. This professional procedure is significantly more effective than at-home whitening options, delivering noticeable results in just one appointment.



How effective is in-office teeth whitening at London Dental Specialists?


In-office teeth whitening at London Dental Specialists is highly effective, typically brightening teeth by six to eight shades in a single session. The professional-grade whitening agents used contain higher concentrations of active ingredients than over-the-counter products, allowing for more dramatic results. Most patients experience immediate, visible improvements to their smile after just one treatment.



Is in-office teeth whitening painful?


In-office teeth whitening at London Dental Specialists is not painful. The procedure itself causes no discomfort whatsoever. Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity following treatment, but this typically subsides within 24-48 hours. Our dentists take precautions to minimise any potential sensitivity and can provide recommendations for managing any post-treatment sensations.



How long does an in-office whitening appointment take?


An in-office whitening appointment at London Dental Specialists typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. During this time, your dentist will apply the whitening compound to your teeth, activate it with a specialised light, and may repeat the process multiple times to achieve optimal results. The entire procedure is completed in a single visit, making it a convenient option for patients with busy schedules.



How long do in-office whitening results last?


In-office whitening results are not permanent but can last between 1-3 years with proper care. To maximise longevity, we recommend:



  • Avoiding stain-causing foods and beverages (coffee, red wine, tea)

  • Not smoking

  • Maintaining excellent oral hygiene

  • Attending regular dental check-ups

  • Using recommended maintenance products


Occasional touch-up treatments can help maintain your bright smile for longer periods.



What happens during an in-office whitening procedure?


During an in-office whitening procedure at London Dental Specialists, your dentist will:



  1. Examine your teeth and discuss your whitening goals

  2. Clean your teeth to remove surface stains and plaque

  3. Apply a protective barrier to your gums

  4. Apply the hydrogen peroxide-rich whitening gel to your teeth

  5. Activate the gel using a specialised light

  6. Allow the gel to work for 15-20 minutes before removing

  7. Repeat the application process 2-3 times during the same appointment

  8. Provide aftercare instructions to maximise results



Who is a good candidate for in-office teeth whitening?


Good candidates for in-office teeth whitening at London Dental Specialists include patients with healthy teeth and gums who have extrinsic stains (surface stains) from coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco. The treatment works best on yellow-tinted teeth rather than grey tones. It's not recommended for patients with extensive dental restorations, severe tooth sensitivity, or pregnant/breastfeeding women. A consultation with our dentists will determine if you're suitable for the procedure.



Is there any downtime after in-office teeth whitening?


There is no downtime after in-office teeth whitening at London Dental Specialists. You can immediately return to your normal activities following treatment. However, we recommend following a \"white diet\" (avoiding foods and drinks that can stain) for 48 hours after treatment to maximise results. Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity, but this typically resolves quickly and doesn't interfere with daily activities.



How does in-office whitening compare to at-home whitening kits?


In-office whitening at London Dental Specialists delivers superior results compared to at-home kits in several ways:



  • Faster results (one appointment vs. weeks of home treatment)

  • More dramatic whitening (6-8 shades vs. 2-3 shades)

  • Professional supervision for safety and comfort

  • Higher-concentration whitening agents not available over-the-counter

  • Customised treatment based on your specific needs

  • More consistent, even results across all teeth


While at-home kits are less expensive, professional in-office whitening provides more significant, immediate, and longer-lasting results.
