Teeth Whitening Hampstead

At Rosslyn Dental, we understand that a bright, confident smile can transform how you feel about yourself. Our professional teeth whitening treatments in Hampstead offer both immediate results and long-lasting brilliance, helping you achieve the radiant smile you’ve always wanted.

Located in the heart of Hampstead, our experienced dental team provides two convenient whitening options to suit your lifestyle and preferences. Whether you choose our in-clinic treatment for instant results or prefer the flexibility of our at-home system, we’ll help you achieve stunning whitening results safely and effectively.

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Professional teeth whitening at Rosslyn Dental delivers superior results compared to over-the-counter products. Our treatments use higher concentrations of whitening agents, applied under professional supervision to ensure both safety and effectiveness. This means you can achieve significantly whiter teeth in less time, with results that last longer.

Our qualified dental professionals assess your oral health before treatment, ensuring you’re a suitable candidate for whitening. This personalised approach means we can tailor your treatment to achieve optimal results whilst minimising sensitivity and protecting your dental health.

In-Clinic Teeth Whitening in Hampstead

Our chairside teeth whitening treatment offers the fastest way to achieve a dramatically whiter smile. Performed in our comfortable Hampstead clinic, this professional treatment delivers immediate results in just one appointment.

How In-Clinic Whitening Works

During your appointment, we carefully protect your gums before applying professional-grade whitening gel to your teeth. The treatment typically takes around 60-90 minutes, during which the gel is refreshed multiple times to ensure optimal results. You’ll leave our clinic with teeth that are visibly whiter and brighter.

Benefits of In-Clinic Treatment

The in-clinic option is perfect for special occasions or when you want immediate results. Our professional supervision ensures the treatment is applied safely and effectively, maximising your whitening potential whilst minimising discomfort. Most patients see their teeth lighten by 3-8 shades in a single session. However, results can vary from patient to patient.

At-Home Teeth Whitening System

For those who prefer the convenience of whitening at home, our professional take-home system offers exceptional results with complete flexibility. This treatment uses custom-made trays and professional-grade whitening gel to deliver gradual, long-lasting results.

Custom-Made Whitening Trays

We create bespoke whitening trays that fit your teeth perfectly, ensuring even distribution of the whitening gel and maximum comfort during treatment. These custom trays are far superior to generic, one-size-fits-all alternatives, providing better results and reducing the risk of gum irritation.

Professional-Grade Whitening Gel

Our at-home system uses the same professional-strength whitening gel available to dentists, ensuring superior results compared to shop-bought alternatives. The gel is specially formulated to be gentle on your teeth and gums whilst delivering powerful whitening action.

Treatment Process

After your initial consultation and tray fitting, you’ll receive your custom trays and professional whitening gel. Simply apply the gel to your trays and wear them for the recommended time each day. Most patients see significant results within 1-2 weeks, with maximum whitening achieved in 2-3 weeks.

Combination Treatment Package

For the ultimate whitening experience, our combination package offers the best of both worlds. Start with our in-clinic treatment for immediate results, then maintain and improve your new smile with our at-home system.

This comprehensive approach ensures you achieve maximum whitening potential whilst providing the tools to maintain your results long-term. The combination treatment is particularly beneficial for patients with stubborn stains or those seeking the whitest possible result.

What Causes Tooth Discolouration?

Understanding what causes tooth staining helps you make informed decisions about whitening and maintenance. Common causes include:

Dietary Factors: Coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and other deeply pigmented foods and beverages can stain teeth over time. Regular consumption of these items gradually builds up stains on the tooth surface.

Lifestyle Habits: Smoking and tobacco use are major contributors to tooth discolouration, creating yellowing and brown stains that penetrate deep into the tooth structure.

Natural Ageing: As we age, our tooth enamel naturally wears down, revealing the yellowish dentin underneath. This process makes teeth appear less white and more yellow over time.

Medications: Certain medications, particularly antibiotics like tetracycline, can cause intrinsic staining that affects the inner structure of teeth.

Trauma: Injuries to teeth can cause discolouration as the tooth responds to damage by darkening from within.

How Long Do Results Last?

The longevity of your whitening results depends on several factors, including your lifestyle habits and oral hygiene routine. Most patients enjoy their whiter smile for 1-3 years before considering a touch-up treatment.

To maximise the lifespan of your results:

Maintain excellent oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing
Attend routine dental cleanings every six months
Limit consumption of staining foods and beverages
Use a straw when drinking coffee, tea, or wine
Avoid smoking and tobacco products

Managing Sensitivity

Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity following whitening treatment. This is normal and typically subsides within 24-48 hours. Our professional-grade whitening systems are formulated with desensitising agents to minimise discomfort.

If you experience sensitivity:

Use toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth
Avoid very hot or cold foods and beverages temporarily
Consider spacing out your at-home treatments
Contact our team if sensitivity persists

Who Is Suitable for Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is suitable for most adults with healthy teeth and gums. However, certain conditions may affect your candidacy:

Ideal Candidates:

Adults over 18 with healthy teeth and gums
Those with yellow or brown staining
Patients with realistic expectations about results
Individuals committed to maintaining their results

Not Suitable For:

Pregnant or breastfeeding women
Patients with active gum disease or tooth decay
Those with extensive dental work in visible areas
Individuals with unrealistic expectations

Maintaining Your Whitening Results

Your newly whitened smile is an investment worth protecting. Regular maintenance helps preserve your results and keeps your smile looking its best. We recommend:

Daily Care: Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss regularly to remove plaque and prevent new stains from forming.

Professional Cleanings: Regular hygienist appointments remove surface stains and maintain optimal oral health.

Touch-Up Treatments: Occasional touch-up treatments with your at-home system can refresh your smile and maintain your desired shade.

Lifestyle Modifications: Small changes to your daily routine, such as rinsing with water after consuming staining beverages, can significantly extend your results.
