Teeth Whitening

Thinking of whitening your teeth to brighten your smile? Here is some information to help you make an informed decision.

What is teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening involves bleaching your teeth to make them lighter. Teeth whitening can’t make your teeth brilliant white, but it can lighten the existing colour by several shades. There are two types of teeth whitening. Home whitening, where you whiten the teeth at home with custom made bleaching tray and gel. In office whitening, where your teeth are whitened in the surgery by the dentist.

Who can perform teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is a form of dentistry and should only be performed by a dentist or another regulated dental professional, such as a dental hygienist or dental therapist, on the prescription of a dentist.

Can any dentist whiten teeth?

Yes, all registered dentists can provide tooth whitening. Dentists at Gerrards Cross Dentist have had post graduate training in the field of whitening and many years of experience to ensure you get the best results.

Is teeth whitening permanent?

No, teeth whitening isn’t permanent. The effect can last up to six months to one year. If in the future you need to have your teeth whitened again you do not need to pay the full price again. You can come to the surgery and buy a top of syringe and use your existing trays, hence maintenance of teeth whitening is not expensive.

Will teeth whitening work on false teeth?

No. Teeth whitening won’t work on dentures, crowns, fillings or veneers.

What are the risks of teeth whitening?

There is risk of teeth sensitivity and gum irritation if the whitening is done incorrectly.

Dr Lachhanni is the perfect dentist for those who like me are nervous of going to the dentist. He explains the treatment in a very clear and concise way, taking his time and making sure you are pain free. I was handed the TV remote controls to choose my favourite programme whilst treatment was taking place. He gave me excellent advice on how best to look after and clean my teeth. The dental surgery is easy to find, clean and modern. I was also impressed that my initial contact was made via email to them on a Sunday - I received a phone call the same day with an emergency appointment booked for the following day - what an amazing service!

Amazing experience and service at the Gerrards Cross Dentist. I’ve been seen by Dr J Bahra over the last few weeks and was made to feel extremely comfortable with quick and painless procedures. Will definitely be booking in my teeth whitening soon. Thanks!

What an amazing dental practice. My partner went here for some work when we recently moved to the area and he recommended the practice. I honestly thought ‘How good can a dentist really be?’ ... well I just discovered! Not only was the treatment quick, effective and painless, but you also get to watch Netflix whilst it’s being done! Probably the most relaxing hour of my day. I highly recommend!

I recently moved to the area and chose to come to Gerrards Cross Dentist based on some reviews here. The reviews are accurate, it’s a very warm and welcoming place but most importantly the dentists are of the highest quality. Very caring with aftercare that has been second to none. I couldn’t recommend this dentist enough.
