Teeth Whitening in Leicester
Professional teeth whitening at a dental practice is an entirely different experience, and at EverySmile Dental it is one of the most popular treatments we offer.
What Happens at a Teeth Whitening Appointment at EverySmile
Your whitening journey starts with a free consultation where our dentist assesses the current shade of your teeth, checks that your gums and enamel are in good health and gives you a realistic expectation of the results you can achieve. Every smile starts from a different point and we will always be honest with you about what is possible for yours.
Once you are ready to start, we take precise impressions of your teeth to create custom-fitted whitening trays made exactly to your mouth. These are paired with a professional-grade whitening gel that is only available through a registered dental practice. You carry out the treatment at home over two to three weeks, wearing the trays for the recommended time each day. Our team guides you through the process from start to finish and top-up gels are available from the practice whenever you need to maintain your results.
What Your Whitening Treatment Includes
- Free consultation and shade assessment Our dentist assesses the current shade of your teeth, checks the health of your gums and enamel and gives you a clear, honest picture of what whitening can achieve for your specific teeth before any treatment begins.
- Custom-fitted whitening trays Impressions are taken to create trays that fit your teeth precisely. This ensures the whitening gel stays exactly where it needs to be and does not spill onto your gums, which is one of the main causes of irritation with over the counter products.
- Professional-grade whitening gel The gel used at EverySmile contains a higher concentration of whitening agent than anything available over the counter and is prescribed and supplied by our clinical team specifically for you.
- A guided at-home treatment plan We walk you through exactly how and when to use your trays and gel, what to expect at each stage and how to manage any sensitivity if it arises. You are supported throughout the process.
- Top-up gels for long-term maintenance Once your initial treatment is complete, top-up gels are available from the practice to maintain your results over time as and when you need them.
When Do People Consider Teeth Whitening?
For most people it builds gradually. The morning coffee that has become a daily ritual. The red wine on a Friday evening. A few years of tea and the slow realisation that the smile in recent photographs does not look quite the same as it once did. Some patients come to us ahead of a specific event, a wedding, a big birthday, a job interview, wanting to feel their best. Others simply reach a point where they decide they would like their smile to reflect how they actually feel about themselves.
Teeth whitening is also frequently the first step in a wider cosmetic journey. Many patients start here, see the difference a brighter base makes and then consider composite bonding or a smile makeover to address anything else that has been on their mind. Our dentist will talk you through all of the options at your free consultation and help you decide what makes sense for your smile and your timeline.
The Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
- Results that home kits simply cannot match Professional whitening gel contains a significantly higher concentration of whitening agent than anything available over the counter. The difference in results is noticeable and consistent.
- Even coverage with no gum irritation Custom-fitted trays ensure the gel sits precisely against your teeth without leaking onto the surrounding gum tissue, which is the most common cause of sensitivity and irritation with shop-bought products.
- Gradual, natural-looking results Because the treatment builds over two to three weeks, the change looks natural rather than sudden. Nobody needs to know you have had treatment unless you choose to tell them.
- Clinically supervised from start to finish Your treatment is prescribed, supplied and monitored by our dental team throughout. You are not experimenting with a product from a shelf. You have a clinical team behind you at every stage.
- A strong foundation for further cosmetic treatment If you are considering composite bonding, veneers or a smile makeover, whitening first gives your dentist a brighter baseline to work from and ensures any new restorations are matched to your best possible shade.
- Long-lasting with the right maintenance Most patients find their results last between one and three years before a top-up is needed. Avoiding or reducing tea, coffee, red wine and tobacco helps maintain the result for longer.
Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?
Teeth whitening works on natural tooth enamel. It will not change the colour of existing crowns, veneers, composite bonding or fillings, which is worth knowing before you start if any of those restorations sit in visible positions. If you are planning cosmetic work alongside whitening, the order in which you do things matters and our dentist will guide you through the best approach for your situation.
Whitening also works best when your teeth and gums are in good health. If there is any active decay or gum disease, those issues would need to be addressed before treatment begins. The type of discolouration also affects results. Yellowing caused by food, drink and age typically responds very well. Grey discolouration caused by medication or old trauma can be more resistant. Our dentist will give you a straightforward, honest assessment at your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening in Leicester
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity during or after whitening treatment, particularly to cold temperatures. This usually settles within a few days of completing the course. Our professional-grade whitening gels include desensitising agents to minimise this and if you have a history of sensitivity our dentist will factor that into your treatment plan from the very start.
Most patients find their results last between one and three years before a top-up is needed. Results vary depending on diet and lifestyle habits. Avoiding or reducing tea, coffee, red wine and tobacco will help maintain your whitening for longer. Top-up gels are available from the practice whenever you need them.
Whitening gel works only on natural tooth enamel and will not change the shade of existing fillings, crowns, veneers or composite bonding. If you have visible restorations it is worth discussing this with our dentist before starting treatment so we can plan the best approach for your overall smile.
Yes. Professional teeth whitening carried out under the supervision of a registered dentist is a well-established and safe cosmetic procedure. The key difference between professional and over the counter whitening is the concentration of the whitening agent and the level of clinical supervision involved. At EverySmile your treatment is assessed, prescribed and monitored by our dental team throughout.
Over the counter whitening products available in the UK without a prescription contain very low concentrations of whitening agent, which is why results are often disappointing. Professional whitening at EverySmile uses a higher-concentration gel available only through a registered dental practice, paired with custom-fitted trays that ensure even coverage and minimise gum irritation. The results are significantly more noticeable and the process is clinically supervised throughout.
