Frequently asked questions

Is Teeth Whitening Safe?

Yes — when carried out by a qualified dental professional. Whitening performed by unlicensed providers or with online kits can permanently damage your teeth and gums. Learn more from the official NHS guidance on teeth whitening.

How long do teeth whitening results last?

Results typically last 12–24 months, depending on diet, oral hygiene, and lifestyle. You can maintain your brightness with easy at-home top-ups.

Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?

Some mild sensitivity is normal but temporary. Enlighten Whitening is especially gentle and ideal for sensitive teeth.

Can everyone whiten their teeth?

Whitening is suitable for most adults but doesn’t change the colour of crowns, veneers, or fillings. Your dentist will assess your suitability first.

Can children or teenagers whiten their teeth

No — teeth whitening is not recommended for anyone under 18. This is in line with UK law and GDC regulations, as children’s teeth and enamel are still developing.

If your child’s teeth appear discoloured, it’s best to book a dental check-up so we can assess the cause and recommend safe, age-appropriate care.

How do I maintain my results?

Avoid smoking, limit coffee, tea, and red wine, and brush with a whitening toothpaste recommended by your dentist.
