Teeth whitening in Guildford
A brighter smile, safely and professionally done.
Why Professional Whitening
Professional whitening uses regulated, prescription-strength bleaching agents not available over the counter. The results — and how long they last — reflect that difference.
What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a treatment that lightens the natural colour of your teeth, removing staining caused by coffee, red wine, smoking, and everyday wear. A bleaching gel — usually containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide — is applied to the teeth, either in the surgery under direct supervision or via custom-fitted trays you wear at home.
Professional whitening is both faster and safer than over-the-counter kits, because the strength of the gel and the fit of the trays are controlled by your dentist throughout.
At Northdene Dental Surgery, we offer in-surgery whitening, with your treatment plan built around your natural tooth shade and the result you're after. As with all our treatments, it starts with a consultation so you know exactly what to expect before anything begins.
FAQs
How much does teeth whitening cost at Northdene in Guildford?
Teeth whitening at Northdene starts from £385. Your consultation will confirm an exact price based on your starting shade and the treatment option you choose. Call 01483 560 068 to book.
How long does teeth whitening take?
In-surgery treatment typically takes around an hour. Your dentist will give you a clear timeline at your consultation.
Will teeth whitening hurt?
Some patients notice mild tooth sensitivity for a day or two after treatment, which usually settles on its own. Because the process is carried out or prescribed by a dentist, the strength of the gel is controlled to keep this to a minimum.
Is teeth whitening available on the NHS?
No — teeth whitening is classed as a cosmetic treatment, so it isn't funded by the NHS. It's available to book privately at Northdene regardless of whether you're an NHS or private patient with us.
How long do the results last?
Most patients see results lasting 1–3 years, depending on diet and lifestyle, though coffee, red wine, and smoking can cause staining to return sooner. Touch-up treatments can help maintain your results.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, when carried out or prescribed by a dentist. Professional whitening uses a controlled concentration of bleaching gel and is monitored throughout, which is why it's considerably safer than unregulated kits bought online.
