Whitening and smile transformations carried out here in Tonbridge — our own patients, shared with their consent. Individual results vary.
What professional teeth whitening involves
Stronger, safer and better-fitting than anything you can buy over the counter.
We take impressions or a scan of your teeth and make custom whitening trays that fit you exactly, so the gel stays on your teeth and off your gums. You whiten gradually at home over a couple of weeks, at a strength we choose together — or ask us about a faster in-practice option. Because it’s supervised, we can manage any sensitivity and get you an even, natural result.
Professional whitening vs shop-bought kits
Dentist-supervised whitening
Custom-fitted trays, professional-strength gel, a healthy-mouth check first, and help if teeth feel sensitive — for a safe, even result that lasts.
Shop & online kits
One-size trays and weak (or unsafe) gels that can irritate gums, whiten unevenly and disappoint — with no dentist to check your teeth are suitable first.
Whitening is often the first step in a wider smile makeover — and pairs beautifully with composite bonding to reshape teeth once they’re brighter.
What whitening can lift
If your smile has dulled over the years, whitening usually helps.
- Coffee, tea and red-wine staining
- Yellowing that comes with age
- Staining from smoking
- General dullness and lack of sparkle
- A tired-looking smile before a big event
- Freshening up before bonding or veneers
Whitening lightens natural teeth; it won’t change the colour of fillings, crowns or veneers. We’ll tell you honestly what to expect at your consultation.
How it works, step by step
“Whitening should be easy and comfortable. We fit it around you, keep sensitivity in check, and aim for a shade that looks natural — brighter, but still like your own smile.”
— Dr Pieter Claassen

What our patients say
Teeth whitening — your questions
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes — when it’s carried out or supervised by a dentist. We check your teeth and gums are healthy first and use professional products at a strength that suits you, which is far safer than unregulated online kits.
Will it make my teeth sensitive?
Some people notice mild, temporary sensitivity. Because we supervise your whitening we can adjust the strength and give you products to keep you comfortable.
How white will my teeth go?
Whitening lightens your natural teeth to a brighter, natural-looking shade — not a fake, over-white finish unless that’s genuinely what you want. We’ll show you what’s realistic for your teeth.
How long does it last?
Often a year or more, depending on diet and habits. Top-up gel with your custom trays keeps it looking fresh.
How much does whitening cost?
We’ll give you a clear price at your consultation. Book a whitening consultation to find out what’s right for you.
