Professional Tooth Whitening in London
Considering whitening can feel overwhelming — countless over-the-counter kits and online offers, but you want a result that's not only brilliant but safe and lasting. You need professional guidance to cut through the noise and find a solution that truly works for your smile.
At Behrens Dental Practice we provide medically supervised tooth whitening that delivers predictable, stunning results — including in-chair "ZOOM" whitening performed at the practice. Our expert team combines advanced technology with a personalised approach to ensure your comfort and confidence throughout.
Why Choose Behrens for Your Whitening Journey?
Led by Experts
Under the guidance of Dr. Ole Behrens and aesthetic dentist Dr. Chiara Burgio, our team has the clinical knowledge to whiten your teeth effectively and safely — starting with a thorough assessment of your suitability.
Advanced Technology
We use leading whitening systems, including powerful in-chair light activation and custom-fit trays from precise digital scans — ensuring even whitening and minimising the gum irritation common with one-size-fits-all kits.
Personalised Treatment Plans
We discuss your goals, lifestyle, and dental health to recommend the best method for you — whether a rapid in-chair treatment or a convenient at-home system.
A Focus on Safety
Every procedure is performed under strict clinical protocols using regulated, professional-grade materials proven to be safe for your enamel.
Understanding Your Options
Two highly effective, professional whitening methods tailored to fit your schedule and preferences.
In-Chair Whitening
For immediate, dramatic results — in a single visit of about 2 hours we brighten your teeth by several shades. Concentrated whitening gel is applied and activated by a special light. Ideal for busy professionals or a special event.
Professional At-Home Kits
For a gradual, controlled approach — custom-made trays from a precise digital mould keep professional-strength gel evenly on your teeth and away from your gums. Wear them daily to reach your desired shade in about two to three weeks.
The Science Behind a Brighter Smile
Tooth discolouration happens in two ways — and professional whitening is designed to tackle both.
Extrinsic Stains
On the surface of your enamel, caused by coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking. These stains are the easiest to remove.
Intrinsic Stains
Discolouration inside the tooth's structure, often caused by ageing, trauma, or certain medications. These require professional-grade agents to penetrate the tooth and break them down.
Gentle on enamel, tough on stains
Our treatments use active ingredients like hydrogen or carbamide peroxide. These molecules penetrate the enamel and break apart the pigmented compounds causing stains — revealing a brighter, whiter tooth structure without damaging it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes — when performed by a qualified dental professional, whitening is very safe. We conduct a full oral health check first, as it's important to address underlying issues (like plaque build-up that can appear as dark lines) before whitening.
Will the treatment be painful?
A small percentage of patients — typically under 10% — experience temporary sensitivity. We take precautions to minimise this, and any sensitivity usually subsides within 24–48 hours.
How long will my results last?
With good oral hygiene and by managing staining foods and drinks, professional results can last for several years. We can also provide top-up gels to maintain your smile's brilliance.
Does whitening work on crowns or veneers?
Whitening agents don't change the colour of artificial restorations like crowns, bridges, or veneers. If you're planning cosmetic work, it's best to whiten your natural teeth first so we can match the restoration to your brighter shade.
