Want whiter teeth? Talk to us!
In the UK, we spend millions every year on tooth whitening products. And no wonder, as white, stain-free teeth have long been the standard for beauty and health.
When you’re proud of how your teeth look, you’ll want to smile more. Scientists have now discovered how powerful the act of smiling can be to a person’s wellbeing. A smile can improve mood, boost self-esteem and self-confidence and even reduce stress. Smiling not only makes you feel good, but it will also relax those around you too.
Teeth can become discoloured for a variety of reasons. These include smoking and the consumption of drinks like tea, coffee, cola, and red wine. Poor oral hygiene is another reason for staining, also the use of certain medications.
If you are unhappy with the colour of your teeth, it’s likely you have used products to help whiten them. You can incorporate special toothpastes into your oral hygiene routine. These remove more surface stains than ‘regular’ ones so you may see a moderate improvement. The impact will be greater if you make lifestyle changes, like quitting smoking.
The law and tooth whitening
But what if you want something more? You may have seen whitening services advertised by beauty clinics. But only a dental professional registered with the General Dental Council (GDC) can deliver tooth whitening. This is regardless of the products they use. Anyone providing them who isn’t GDC-registered is committing a criminal offence.
Many people become misled in the search for a brighter smile. There are all sorts of things that can go wrong with illegal tooth whitening. These include being unhappy that you wasted your time and money, to serious injury. Some non-registered practitioners will say the products they’re using are ‘peroxide free’. But this does not make them legal for use. Tooth whitening in the hands of an untrained person is unsafe. It exposes the delicate oral tissue to strong chemicals. It could cause pain, blistering, burning and permanent damage to gums. DIY whitening kits are available to buy online too, but some of these also come with risks.
Options for every budget
If you want to whiten your teeth, please speak to us! Teeth whitening is the most commonly prescribed cosmetic dental procedure. There are options out there to suit all budgets and we will help you find the right one for you. You may choose trays to wear at home, custom-made by your dentist, for example. Usually worn for several weeks at night the trays get filled with a solution to lift stains, until you’ve achieved the outcome you want.
We understand all the factors that come into a decision about dental treatment. Make an appointment and we will answer your questions about tooth whitening. Our dentists are members of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (BACD). As BACD members, they’re among the most skilled, educated, and passionate dentists in the UK.
You’ll get top-class whitening and a brighter smile to be proud of. Our trained team will take good care of you in a safe environment. They will tell you how to keep your new smile looking beautiful. Choose professional whitening with us and people will say “WOW” to the result. It will naturally enhance, and not look out of place or fake.

Will composite bonding damage my teeth?
It’s a common concern, especially for patients who want to improve their smile while protecting their natural teeth.
The good news is that composite bonding is often one of the most conservative cosmetic dental treatments available. In many cases, little or no preparation of the tooth is required, meaning your natural tooth structure can be preserved.
Composite bonding can be used to improve the appearance of:
✔ Chipped teeth
✔ Small gaps between teeth
✔ Uneven tooth shapes
✔ Worn edges
✔ Minor imperfections
Because the treatment is minimally invasive, many patients choose composite bonding when they want to enhance their smile without significant changes to their natural teeth.
Every smile is unique, so we’ll always discuss your options and explain exactly what’s involved before any treatment begins.

You could be grinding your teeth every night… without even knowing it. 😴
Many people assume they’d know if they were clenching or grinding their teeth.
In reality, most don’t.
As Richard explains, while we’re asleep our brains continue processing the events and stresses of the day. For some people, that stress is released through clenching or grinding their teeth - but because the part of the brain that would normally recognise it is effectively switched off during sleep, we often have no idea it’s happening.
Over time, tooth grinding can contribute to:
• Worn or chipped teeth
• Jaw pain or stiffness
• Morning headaches
• Sensitive teeth
• Disrupted sleep
If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms, it’s worth mentioning them at your next appointment. We can look for the signs of tooth grinding and discuss ways to help protect your teeth before more damage occurs.
Have you ever been told you grind your teeth, or has someone heard you doing it while you sleep?
