How professional whitening works
Professional whitening uses a controlled-strength peroxide gel that gently breaks down the discolouring molecules embedded within your tooth enamel. Because the gel sits inside trays moulded precisely to your own teeth, it works evenly across every surface while staying safely clear of your gums.
In the UK, only registered dentists are legally permitted to prescribe whitening at the concentrations needed to produce real, lasting results — anything stronger sold in salons or online is illegal and potentially harmful to your enamel and gum tissue. As your dentist in St Albans, we'll always check your suitability before prescribing any whitening treatment.
