Question 1

Why is teeth whitening cheaper in Whitechapel than Canary Wharf?

Accepted Answer

Teeth whitening in Whitechapel typically costs £200–£350, while Canary Wharf clinics charge £400–£600+ for the same systems. The difference is primarily overheads — Canary Wharf clinic rents are among the highest in east London. Both areas offer the same professional systems (Zoom, Enlighten), so the clinical outcome is comparable.

Question 2

Can I get teeth whitening during my lunch break in Canary Wharf?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Several Canary Wharf dental clinics offer express in-chair whitening sessions designed for the local working population. A Philips Zoom express session takes about 45 minutes. Some clinics also offer early morning and evening appointments to suit office hours.

Question 3

How much does teeth whitening cost in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Professional teeth whitening in the UK costs between £250 and £1,000 depending on the method. Home whitening kits with custom trays start from £250 to £400. In office treatments (Zoom, Enlighten) cost £400 to £800. Premium systems like Enlighten with a B1 shade guarantee cost £600 to £1,000.

Question 4

Is teeth whitening safe?

Accepted Answer

Professional teeth whitening supervised by a GDC registered dentist is safe. Dentists use regulated concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (up to 6%) or carbamide peroxide. Over the counter products and beauty salon whitening are not regulated to the same standard and carry higher risks.

Question 5

How long do teeth whitening results last?

Accepted Answer

Professional whitening results typically last 6 months to 2 years, depending on your diet and lifestyle. Coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking can cause staining to return faster. Top up treatments every 6 to 12 months can maintain results.

Question 6

Will teeth whitening cause sensitivity?

Accepted Answer

Some temporary sensitivity is normal during and immediately after whitening treatment. This usually resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Your dentist may recommend a desensitising toothpaste before and after treatment. People with existing sensitivity should discuss this at their consultation.

Question 7

Can you whiten crowns, veneers, or fillings?

Accepted Answer

No. Whitening only works on natural tooth enamel. Crowns, veneers, and fillings will not change colour. If you have visible restorations, your dentist may recommend whitening your natural teeth first, then replacing restorations to match your new shade.

Question 8

Is whitening at a beauty salon safe?

Accepted Answer

Teeth whitening in the UK can only legally be performed by a GDC registered dentist, dental hygienist, or dental therapist. Beauty salons and non dental practitioners offering whitening are breaking the law and may use unsafe products. Always choose a registered dental professional.

Question 9

What is the best teeth whitening method?

Accepted Answer

The best method depends on your goals and budget. For guaranteed dramatic results, Enlighten whitening (combination of home and in office) is the gold standard. For convenience, custom home whitening trays offer excellent results at a lower cost. In office treatments like Zoom provide fast results in a single visit.
