Whitening gel can seep into decay and trigger sharp pain or sensitivity. Any cavities should be treated first.

TeeTH WHITENING In Epsom
Whether it’s due to age or lifestyle, teeth will often discolour over the course of our lives. If you find yourself mourning your once dazzlingly white smile, our teeth whitening service may be the solution to your woes.
For many of our patients, tooth whitening offers more than a brighter smile; it builds confidence, improves self-image and acts as a means of self-care. We pride ourselves on being part of that process.
Like hair and skin, the colour of teeth varies from person to person, meaning that not every tooth whitening transformation will look the same. As very few people have perfectly white smiles, this service cannot and should not completely transform the natural colour of your teeth, but it can lighten the existing shade.
Here at Epsom Smiles, our priority is your health and wellbeing. Because it does not remove any of the natural tooth surfaces, teeth whitening is a safe, effective way to brighten your grin. Our dedicated team of professionals will make it their duty to reverse discolouration and revive your beaming fresh smile.
Real Patient Results

Every smile is unique. Here are some of the results our patients have achieved right here at Epsom Smiles.
BEFORE YOU WHITEN
WHY WE CHECK YOUR ORAL HEALTH FIRST
Whitening is safe and effective when your teeth and gums are healthy. A quick assessment helps prevent sensitivity, ensure even results, and avoids treating over issues that need attention first.
1. Detects untreated cavities
2. Identifies gum disease
If gums are inflamed, whitening can sting and worsen irritation. Healthy gums first = comfortable treatment.
3. Prevents severe sensitivity
Erosion, exposed dentine, or recession can make whitening feel intense. We assess risk and can desensitise first.
4. Checks for cracks or leaking fillings
If gel slips into tiny gaps it can cause pain. We check restorations and fix any leaks before whitening.
5. Evaluate existing dental work
Crowns, veneers and fillings don’t whiten. We plan shade-matching so your smile doesn’t look uneven.
6. Screens for oral infections
Abscesses or pulp infections can flare up with whitening chemicals. Treating first avoids complications.
7. Determines suitability
Some stains won’t respond (e.g., trauma/medication). We’ll confirm whitening is right or suggest alternatives.
8. Protects enamel integrity
Thin or weakened enamel needs a gentler approach. We make sure whitening won’t compromise tooth structure.
9. Ensures better results
A clean surface whitens more evenly. We may recommend hygiene/cleaning first for the best shade lift.
10. Reduces risk of complications
A proper assessment minimises chemical burns to gums, post-treatment pain, and patchy results — so you feel confident from day one.

TeeTH WHITENING Faqs
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes. When carried out by a qualified dentist, whitening is completely safe and does not harm your enamel. Over-the-counter products are weaker and often less predictable.
How long do whitening results last?
Results typically last 12–24 months, depending on diet and lifestyle. With good oral hygiene and occasional top-ups, you can maintain a bright smile long-term.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients experience mild temporary sensitivity, but this usually settles within 24–48 hours. Using dentist-recommended gels helps minimise or prevent sensitivity completely.
What whitening options do you offer?
We provide professional take-home whitening kits with custom trays and in-clinic whitening for faster results. Your dentist will recommend the best option based on your goals and sensitivity level.
