Teeth Whitening: Your Complete Guide to Options & Safety

Compare professional whitening treatments and learn about safety.

Professional Options

In-chair whitening (Zoom, Enlighten) delivers immediate results in 1-2 hours, costing £200-£700. Take-home kits from your dentist use custom trays and professional-strength gel over 2-4 weeks, costing £150-£400. Laser whitening is a premium option at £400-£1,000.

Safety Considerations

Only dental professionals can legally perform teeth whitening in the UK. Over-the-counter products with more than 0.1% hydrogen peroxide are illegal to sell directly to consumers. Professional whitening is safe when performed correctly but may cause temporary sensitivity.
