Professional teeth whitening is a clinically supervised treatment designed to lift staining caused by tea, coffee, red wine, tobacco and the natural process of ageing. A regulated peroxide-based gel breaks down discolouration within the enamel without altering the structure of the tooth.
Each treatment at Pearl Dental Clinic is tailored to the condition of your teeth and gums, and to the shade you wish to achieve.
In October 2025, the BBC team reported that teeth whitening treatments are being sold illegally in the UK. In the UK legislation, teeth whitening is classified as a dental procedure and treatments using teeth-whitening products containing more than 0.1% hydrogen peroxide can only be carried out by dentists and other professionals registered with the General Dental Council (GDC).
This distinction is important as unregulated treatments can result in gum irritation, significant sensitivity and unpredictable or dangerous outcomes as exposed in the BBC article. At Pearl Dental Clinic, a thorough examination precedes any whitening, ensuring that decay or gum disease is addressed beforehand. This approach protects your oral health and supports a natural, balanced result.
Most patients observe a noticeable improvement, , often several shades lighter, if done in the surgery or within days when done at home.
Every treatment begins with a free consultation, so we can recommend the option that suits your teeth, your lifestyle and the shade you would like to achieve.
Your lips and gums are protected while the teeth are left exposed, and Zoom Advanced Power gel is applied. A special LED lamp then activates the gel. Patients can leave after an hour-long session with teeth up to eight shades lighter. It is ideal if you would like a noticeable result quickly, perhaps before a special occasion.
This option uses whitening gel and trays, with two weeks of gel supplied. The trays are made to fit your teeth, so you can whiten gradually, at your own pace and in comfort.
Our Enlighten Evolution whitening system, with 10% to 16% carbamide peroxide gel available for top-ups. It is a premium, dentist-supervised option for lasting results.
Internal and inside/outside whitening are available per tooth. A tooth may turn black due to repeated dental work or from a root canal treatment. This kind of issue cannot be rectified from standard tooth whitening. These treatments are designed for one tooth that has darkened, and we assess suitability at a dedicated consultation with a specialist endodontist. At Pearl Dental Clinic, Dr Mohsen Esfahani is the specialist performing this treatment.
Teeth whitening results vary between individuals, although many patients maintain their shade for one to three years. Longevity can be extended by limiting staining foods and drinks, avoiding tobacco, brushing twice daily and attending regular hygiene appointments. Occasional top-up treatments help to sustain the effect.
