Teeth Whitening Wandsworth, Southwest London

Because sometimes, a brighter smile is all you need.

Let’s be honest — we all notice it when our teeth start to lose a bit of their sparkle. Maybe it’s years of coffee (guilty), red wine, or just life doing what life does. Tooth discolouration happens gradually, so you don’t always realise it’s crept in — until one day you catch yourself in a photo or mirror and think, “Hmm, my smile used to look brighter than that.”

At Dentist Wandsworth, we offer professional teeth whitening that’s safe, effective, and — most importantly — tailored to you. No gimmicks, no glow-in-the-dark Instagram filters, and absolutely no one-size-fits-all approach.

Just real results that make you feel a little more confident when you smile.

Common causes of tooth discoloration - Dentist Wandsworth

Why do teeth lose their whiteness?

It’s perfectly normal. Over time, the outer layer of enamel picks up stains from the things we eat and drink — tea, coffee, red wine, curry, even healthy stuff like berries can all contribute. Smoking, of course, doesn’t help either.

And it’s not just about surface stains. As we age, the inner part of the tooth (called dentine) naturally darkens a bit, and the enamel becomes thinner — so the overall colour of your teeth can start to look duller, even if you brush twice a day and do everything “right”.

Professional Teeth Whitening At Dentist Wandsworth

How does professional teeth whitening work?

We use at-home whitening kits with custom-made trays — designed specifically for your mouth — and a professional-grade whitening gel that you use over a period of about two weeks. It’s safe, gradual, and gives you more control over the final shade.

You simply wear the trays for a couple of hours each day (some people prefer to wear them overnight), and the gel gently lifts stains and lightens your natural tooth colour. You’ll start to notice a difference after a few days, with full results showing after the full course.

The best part? You can top it up in the future if needed — the trays are yours to keep, and we’ll happily provide more gel when you’re ready for a little refresh.

Is it safe?

Yes — when done properly under the care of a dental professional, teeth whitening is very safe. The key thing is making sure your teeth and gums are healthy before you begin. That’s why we always start with a check-up before giving the green light.

You might experience a bit of temporary sensitivity during treatment — nothing major, and it usually settles down quickly afterwards. We’ll talk you through how to manage that if it happens.

What about shop-bought kits?

We get asked this a lot. The truth is, over-the-counter kits and online whitening products usually contain lower-strength gels (or in some cases, no real whitening agents at all). Some of them can even be harmful — especially the ones with harsh abrasives or unregulated ingredients.

Professional whitening gives you better results, lasts longer, and most importantly — it’s safer. You're doing it under the supervision of a qualified dentist, not hoping for the best with something you found on social media.
