Teeth Whitening
Revitalise your smile with whitening that works.
Our effective stain-busting treatment will brighten your smile and boost your confidence. Your teeth may be less than pearly white for a variety of reasons, including smoking, regular consumption of coffee or red wine, and simply the natural process of ageing. Our handy take-home whitening procedure (Boutique Whitening) uses a gentle chemical process to combat disappointing discolouration and refresh your look.
First, we try to ascertain what has caused the discolouration, then we take impressions of your teeth so mouth trays can be custom-made to fit perfectly. When the trays are ready, we will show you how to use them with the highly effective gels, which can either be worn for an hour in the daytime (By Day gel) or while you sleep (By Night gel). Both types of gel are worn for two weeks, so it won’t take long for you to see noticeably whiter results.
Your lighter smile can be maintained by simply purchasing more tubes of gel to use with your tailor-made trays. And you can keep your teeth whiter for longer by maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding smoking, and being mindful of what you eat and drink.
Not only does our teeth whitening procedure make you look healthier and improve your confidence with lasting results, it is also overseen by a qualified dental professional, making it a much safer choice than over-the-counter or high-street alternatives.
Why Choose Owlsmoor for Teeth Whitening
There’s no shortage of whitening kits and strips available on the high street, but professional whitening remains the safer, more effective choice. Because your treatment is overseen by a qualified dental professional, the whitening gel is provided at a controlled, appropriate strength, and your custom-made trays ensure even coverage across every tooth, something one-size-fits-all kits simply can’t match. This reduces the risk of gum irritation, patchy results, and unnecessary sensitivity, while giving you a brighter, more even smile you can trust.
Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?
Teeth whitening works on natural tooth enamel, so it won’t change the colour of any existing crowns, veneers, bridges, or fillings, worth bearing in mind if you have visible restorative work at the front of your mouth. It’s also not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Before starting treatment, we’ll usually recommend a check-up to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy, as whitening isn’t advised if you have untreated decay or gum disease. If you’re unsure whether whitening is suitable for you, just ask, we’re happy to talk it through at your consultation.

FAQs
How long do results last?
Results vary from person to person, but many patients enjoy a brighter smile for a year or more, especially with good oral hygiene. You can top up your results anytime by purchasing more gel to use with your existing trays.
Can I still drink coffee, tea, or red wine afterwards?
Yes, but these are common culprits behind discolouration in the first place. Limiting them — or rinsing your mouth with water after — will help your results last longer.
Will it work if I have sensitive teeth?
Many patients with sensitive teeth can still whiten successfully, especially under professional supervision, where the process can be tailored to minimise discomfort. Let us know about any sensitivity at your consultation.
Is teeth whitening painful?
No, most patients experience little to no discomfort, though some mild, temporary sensitivity is possible during treatment.
How much whiter will my teeth get?
This depends on your natural tooth colour and the cause of discolouration, but most patients see a noticeable improvement within the two-week treatment period.
Can I choose how white I want my teeth?
Yes, because you control how long you use the trays and gel (within our guidance), you can work towards your desired shade at a pace that suits you.
