Over time, teeth can become stained or discoloured.
Over time, teeth can become stained or discoloured from food, drink, smoking, or simply ageing. Professional teeth whitening at Spixworth Dental Practice offers a safe, effective way to restore brightness and confidence to your smile.
What Is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that uses peroxide-based whitening agents to lighten the shade of your teeth. It is only legally available from a qualified dental professional in the UK, and is much more effective and safer than over-the-counter products.
At Spixworth Dental Practice, we offer clinically proven whitening treatments that deliver noticeable results without compromising the health of your teeth or gums.

What Results Can I Expect?
Most patients achieve a noticeably brighter smile — typically several shades lighter. Results depend on the original shade and type of staining.
Whitening works best on natural teeth and will not change the colour of crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you have existing restorations, we can discuss options to ensure an even result.
Results can last 1–3 years with good oral hygiene and occasional top-ups.
Is It Safe?
Yes — when supervised by a dental professional, teeth whitening is a safe and well-established treatment. We assess your suitability before starting any whitening procedure to ensure it is appropriate for you.
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity during or after treatment — this is normal and usually resolves quickly. We use only clinically approved, safe whitening products.
Please note: This is a private treatment.
