Professional Teeth Whitening in St Albans

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.

Avoiding heavily staining foods and drinks — red wine, dark berries, coffee and smoking — for the first 48 hours after each whitening session makes a real difference to the longevity of your result. Long-term, regular hygienist visits at our St Albans clinic keep surface stains from rebuilding, and a single top-up tray session every 6–12 months keeps your smile looking its brightest year-round.
