Take-Home Whitening Kits in Putney

Consultation and Assessment for Take-Home Whitening Kits

At London Dental Specialists, our take-home whitening kits begin with a thorough consultation and assessment. This crucial first step ensures you receive a safe, effective, and personalised teeth whitening treatment. Our experienced dentists will evaluate your oral health and discuss your whitening goals to determine if our take-home kits are right for you.

During your initial consultation, we will:

• Examine your teeth and gums to assess their current condition and suitability for whitening


• Review your dental history and any previous whitening experiences


• Discuss your desired shade and expectations for the whitening process


• Take dental impressions to create your custom-fitted whitening trays


• Explain the whitening process and provide detailed instructions for at-home use

Our dentists will also address any concerns you may have about teeth sensitivity or the whitening procedure. We use professional-grade whitening gels that contain ingredients to help minimise sensitivity and protect your enamel during the whitening process.

Benefits of Our Take-Home Whitening Consultation:

• Personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs


• Professional guidance to ensure safe and effective whitening


• Custom-fitted trays for optimal gel distribution and comfort


• Opportunity to discuss any questions or concerns with a dental expert

Following your consultation, we will create your custom whitening trays and prepare your take-home kit. This typically takes about 1-2 weeks. Once ready, you'll return to our clinic for a brief follow-up appointment where we'll ensure your trays fit perfectly and provide detailed instructions for using your whitening kit at home.

With London Dental Specialists' take-home whitening kits, you can achieve a brighter, more confident smile from the comfort of your own home, all under the expert guidance of our dental professionals.

Post Take-Home Whitening Kits Treatment Care

Take-home whitening kits from London Dental Specialists require proper aftercare to maintain your brilliant results long-term. Our post-treatment care recommendations are designed to extend the longevity of your newly whitened smile and protect your dental health after completing your whitening regimen.

Essential Aftercare Guidelines:

• Maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing twice daily and flossing regularly


• Use a whitening toothpaste to help preserve your results and remove surface stains


• Attend regular dental check-ups every 6 months to monitor your oral health


• Consider touch-up treatments every 6-12 months depending on your lifestyle habits

For the first 48 hours after completing your whitening treatment, we recommend following the 'white diet' rule to maximise and stabilise your results. During this period, avoid consuming foods and beverages that could potentially stain your newly whitened teeth.

Foods and Drinks to Avoid Initially:

• Dark-coloured beverages (coffee, tea, red wine, cola)


• Deeply pigmented foods (berries, tomato sauce, curry)


• Acidic foods and drinks that can weaken enamel


• Tobacco products (which cause severe staining)

Many patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity following whitening treatments. This is normal and typically subsides within a few days. To manage any discomfort, we recommend:

• Using a toothpaste formulated for sensitive teeth


• Avoiding extremely hot or cold foods and beverages


• Taking over-the-counter pain relievers if necessary


• Contacting our clinic if sensitivity persists beyond one week

Long-Term Maintenance Tips:

To extend the life of your whitening results, consider these practical habits:

• Use a straw when drinking potentially staining beverages


• Rinse your mouth with water after consuming staining foods or drinks


• Brush or at least rinse promptly after meals


• Store your custom whitening trays properly for future touch-up treatments

At London Dental Specialists, we offer personalised maintenance plans to help you preserve your whitening results. During your follow-up appointment, we'll assess your results, address any concerns, and provide recommendations for maintaining your brighter smile.

Remember that lifestyle factors such as diet, smoking, and oral hygiene significantly impact how long your whitening results will last. With proper care and occasional touch-ups, you can enjoy your brighter smile for years to come.
