Over time, teeth naturally darken due to age, diet, and lifestyle habits like drinking tea, coffee, and red wine. At Peelhouse Dental Care in Widnes, we offer safe and effective professional teeth whitening to help restore a brighter, more confident smile.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
✔️ Safe & Reliable – Carried out under professional supervision.
✔️ Predictable Results – We use trusted products to achieve consistent outcomes.
✔️ Long-Lasting – Results can last for years with proper care.
✔️ Convenient – Simple at-home treatment using custom trays.
The Difference Between Over-the-Counter & Professional Whitening
Over-the-counter whitening products sold in the UK are limited by law to a maximum of 0.1% hydrogen peroxide — too weak to produce noticeable results.
Professional whitening treatments provided by a dentist can legally contain up to 6% hydrogen peroxide, which delivers a more effective and longer-lasting result.
✔️ Professional Whitening:
– Stronger, longer-lasting results
– Custom-fitted trays for even coverage
– Supervised by a qualified dentist to avoid sensitivity and damage
✔️ Over-the-Counter Whitening:
– Weaker formulas with limited results
– One-size-fits-all trays that may cause uneven whitening
– No professional oversight, increasing the risk of sensitivity and gum irritation
In the UK, it is illegal for anyone other than a registered dental professional to provide teeth whitening using products containing more than 0.1% hydrogen peroxide. Unsafe or unsupervised whitening treatments can cause tooth sensitivity, gum irritation, and enamel damage.
The Teeth Whitening Process
1️⃣ Assessment – We assess your teeth and gums to ensure they are healthy. Any issues like decay or gum disease will need to be treated first to avoid discomfort.
2️⃣ Custom Trays – We take impressions of your teeth to create thin, comfortable whitening trays, similar to a mouthguard.
3️⃣ Whitening Treatment – You’ll apply the whitening gel at home using the trays for a few hours each day over 5–10 days.
4️⃣ Visible Results – Most patients notice a difference after just a couple of applications.
Trusted Products for Safe Results
We use Boutique Whitening gels containing 5% hydrogen peroxide, which are clinically proven to deliver safe, reliable, and predictable results.
If you experience any sensitivity during the process, we’ll provide guidance on how to minimise and manage it.
Maintaining Your White Smile
Once you have your custom trays, you can easily maintain your brighter smile with top-up gels as needed. This allows you to refresh your smile whenever you feel it needs a boost.
