Wondering how to whiten your teeth? The Ivy Clinic offer professional teeth whitening in Teddington – one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures in the UK. It’s a relatively quick and easy way to give your smile a boost; the perfect way to add that extra sparkle before a special occasion such as a wedding or family party. Teeth whitening treatments should always be carried out by an experienced dentist, as teeth whitening kits bought from the internet can damage your teeth and lead to oral health problems.
At our dental clinic in Teddington we offer two options for teeth whitening: in-clinic whitening and home whitening. Both use the tried and tested Zoom whitening system, which safely and gently whitens your teeth by removing stains.
Teeth become stained through the food and drink we consume, with tea, coffee, red wine and cola being particular culprits. Habits such as smoking further stain the teeth. Regular cleaning and dental hygiene appointments help to alleviate the problem, but some staining of the teeth is inevitable. Zoom tooth whitening is a safe, effective way to bring brightness back to your smile.
How to whiten teeth at home
Home teeth whitening kits use tooth whitening gel and custom-made whitening trays to gently remove stains. You put a small amount of whitening gel in the trays and wear them overnight or for short periods during the day. Treatment time is typically about two weeks, although exactly how long it takes will vary depending on the original shade of your teeth and the shade of whiteness you want to achieve.

Here are some frequently asked questions about teeth whitening.
How does teeth whitening work?
Teeth whitening works by using a bleaching agent, such as hydrogen peroxide, to break down stains on the surface of your teeth, leaving you with whiter teeth and a brighter smile.
Could teeth whitening reduce stains from red wine, coffee, and tea?
Yes, professional teeth whitening treatments could be effective at reducing stains caused by red wine, coffee, and tea, renewing your smile’s brightness.
Who is a good candidate for teeth whitening treatment?
If you have healthy teeth and gums and no untreated gum disease, you’re likely a good candidate. Our dentists will assess your suitability during your consultation.
What types of teeth whitening treatments are available?
At The Ivy Clinic, we offer a range of professional tooth whitening options, including in-practice treatments and custom at-home whitening kits. Both could provide long-lasting results.
How long could the results of teeth whitening last?
The results of whitening treatments could last up to a year or more with proper dental care and by minimising consumption of stain-causing foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine.
Will teeth whitening work if I have crowns or veneers?
Teeth whitening works on natural teeth and won’t change the colour of crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you’re considering whitening, it’s best to discuss your options with your dentist.
How quickly could I see results from teeth whitening treatments?
Results vary depending on the type of whitening treatment, but many patients see a noticeable improvement after just one session of in-practice teeth whitening treatment.
Can teeth whitening help with deep or intrinsic stains?
While professional whitening can effectively remove stains on the surface, deep (intrinsic) stains may require alternative treatments like veneers. A consultation will help determine a good option for you.
How much does professional teeth whitening cost?
The treatment cost varies depending on the whitening treatment you choose. We will discuss all costs during your consultation.
