Teeth Whitening in Alfreton
Over time, everyday habits like drinking tea, coffee and red wine can leave teeth looking duller than you'd like. Our professional teeth whitening treatment is a straightforward way to brighten your smile, carried out under the supervision of our dental team so you can feel confident it is being done safely.
Everyone's teeth respond differently to whitening, so results can vary from person to person, and a consultation is required before treatment to check whitening is suitable for you. Your dentist will talk you through what to expect and answer any questions honestly.

What to expect at your teeth whitening appointment
Many of our patients feel a little nervous before their first whitening consultation, and that is completely normal. Your dentist will begin with a thorough assessment of your teeth and gums to check that whitening is suitable for you, then discuss the options available, including take home trays and in surgery treatment. We will always explain what to expect, including that some people experience mild, temporary sensitivity, and that results can vary from person to person depending on the starting shade of your teeth. A consultation is required before any treatment begins, so you can ask questions and make an informed decision at your own pace.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Teeth whitening carried out by a dental professional is a well established and generally safe cosmetic treatment. Your dentist will always check your teeth and gums first to make sure whitening is appropriate for you, and will explain any risks before you decide to go ahead.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some people notice mild, temporary sensitivity during or shortly after treatment. This usually settles quickly. Your dentist will talk you through ways to manage this and will only recommend whitening if it is suitable for your teeth and gums.
How white will my teeth become?
Results vary from person to person, depending on the natural shade of your teeth and the cause of any staining. During your consultation your dentist will assess your teeth and discuss realistic expectations with you before any treatment begins.
Can I have my teeth whitened if I have crowns or veneers?
Whitening products only work on natural tooth enamel, so crowns, veneers and fillings will not change colour. If you have these restorations, your dentist can talk you through the options available to help achieve a more even, natural looking result.
Is teeth whitening suitable for everyone?
Most people can have their teeth whitened, but it may not be suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for younger patients, or where there is active gum disease or untreated decay. Your dentist will review your dental and medical history at your consultation to check whether whitening is right for you.
How much does teeth whitening cost?
The cost of teeth whitening depends on the treatment option best suited to you, which we will discuss at your consultation. Please contact the practice for current pricing, and see our finance options page to find out about flexible ways to pay.
