Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening has experienced significant growth in demand in recent years, with more individuals seeking professional treatments to enhance their smiles. While some people naturally have brighter or thicker enamel, which masks the yellowish hue of the dentine beneath, others may notice discolouration due to various factors such as diet, ageing, or lifestyle choices.
What Is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to lighten the shade of teeth by using professional bleaching treatments. This process effectively reduces discolouration, brightens enamel, and enhances the overall aesthetics of your smile.
Professional Consultation Required
It is essential to consult a dentist before undergoing any whitening treatment. Even if whitening is a topic raised during a routine check-up, only a qualified dentist can legally prescribe whitening treatments, as this is a regulated dental procedure.

At TwentyOneDental, we offer several in-clinic and take-home options including The Enlighten Evolution System, a highly effective whitening treatment with proven results. On average, professionally whitened teeth maintain their brightness for up to three years, after which a top-up treatment may be required to preserve results. However, this is dependent on how well you look after your smile. Something we will fully advise you upon to help maintain that bright smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can perform this type of treatment?
Teeth whitening is a form of dentistry and should only be carried out by a Dentist, or another regulated professional such as a dental Hygienist/Therapist as long as they’re registered with the General Dental Council.
Before any whitening treatments are considered, it is imperative that you speak with your dentist. They will examine your teeth and make an informed decision if you are clinically fit to receive this treatment.
Unfortunately, there have been some recent cases in the U.K where beauty salons have offered whitening solutions at a fraction of the cost – this is illegal.
As beauty salons are not registered with the General Dental Council, there have been reported cases where patients, who are not clinically fit to receive this treatment, have been subjected to severe burns around their gums, or even tooth loss.
If you are ever in doubt if this treatment is right for you, please speak with the experts first.
Is this treatment safe?
