Teeth Whitening
in Wimpole Street
Beautiful white teeth convey attractiveness and self-confidence. People with bright teeth tend to be perceived as healthier and better groomed. They find it easier to smile and they exude vitality.

What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry treatment involving the application of a bleaching agent (usually one containing a small percentage of hydrogen peroxide) to brighten/whiten the teeth (using mouth guards) by two to three shades and so remove significant tooth discolouration to improve their appearance and so restore your own personal confidence in your smile.
Teeth whitening is popular for patients who perhaps have a stain on their tooth/teeth or simply want their overall smile whitening for a brighter and more youthful look.
Who is suitable for Teeth Whitening?
Whitening is designed for most of our dental patients to consider as it can improve the tooth colour by two to three shades by the use of a bleaching agent.
We would advise, however, that whitening is not a suitable treatment to consider in the following situations:
- In case of pregnancy or during the nursing period.
- If you take the following medicines or substances: chlorothiazide, hydrochlorothiazide, chlorthalidone, Naprosyn, oxaprozin, nabumetone, piroxicam, doxycycline, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, psoralens, demeclocycline, isotretinoin, tretinoin.
- In case of carious lesions ( a small hole appearing on the tooth surface) and/or leaking restorative margins and crown margins within the mouth (simply the gap between your natural teeth and the dental prosthetic – such as a crown – already in place).
- If you are under the age of 18.

Whitening your smile and remove unwanted stains with teeth whitening
We’ve whitened the teeth of thousands of patients over the years and know that a visible stain or a yellow shade of teeth can make them feel more self-conscious and less self-confident. We provide a variety of teeth whitening treatments from our London dental practice that are safe, effective and reasonably priced.

What happens during the teeth whitening?
There are currently three whitening treatment options available at Wimpole Street Dental Clinic:
Home bleaching / At-Home Whitening
This treatment is one you conduct for yourself at home. At your treatment appointment we will advise you on all the instructions and give you tailor-made mouth guards for you to use for both your upper and lower jaws. The mouth guards are filled with the bleaching agent and so you wear them for 1-4 hours to start with and then during the night.
NB: Teeth whitening as a cosmetic dentistry treatment can only be performed on healthy teeth so prior to the treatment commencing your dentist will carefully examine your oral health including the current condition of your teeth and gums. Tooth decay and periodontitis, if present, must be treated successfully prior to the whitening treatment going ahead.
Please also note that to deliver the best aesthetic result possible, professional teeth cleaning by your dental hygienist will be necessary to remove any light stains or surface discolouration.
In-office or ‘chair-side’ bleaching
This is the option to have the bleaching performed here at our dental practice where a bleaching agent, usually 6% hydrogen peroxide, is used. Rest assured that in accordance with a new EU guideline, the bleaching agent used may not contain more hydrogen peroxide than the one we give you to use at home.
NB: It is possible to offer you a combination of home-bleaching and in-office bleaching if you so wish. Please ask your dentist at your initial cosmetic dentistry consultation if this is an option you would like to consider.
Walking bleach
This is the second option we can offer here at our dental practice. This method means that we carefully brighten up root canal treated and discoloured teeth over a period of a few weeks. For a duration of 3-5 days, the root canal is filled with hydrogen peroxide (3% concentration), and so the tooth regains its original aesthetically pleasing colour.
