A brighter smile can completely transform your confidence and the way you feel about yourself. At Covent Garden Dental Spa, our experienced cosmetic dentists offer several safe and effective teeth whitening options in London, each tailored to your lifestyle, goals, and sensitivity levels.

Whether you want instant results or prefer whitening at your own pace from home, we’ll help you choose the best treatment for your needs.

We were thrilled and incredibly proud that we were London Finalists for Practice of the Year at the prestigious Private Dentistry Awards 2024!

1. Take-Home Teeth Whitening — £350

Our take-home whitening is the most affordable way to achieve a naturally whiter smile. We’ll create custom-fitted trays for you to use at home with a professional whitening gel for 2–4 weeks, depending on your desired brightness and how your teeth respond.

Perfect for: patients who prefer flexibility and control.
Bonus: easy to top up in future whenever you’d like a refresh.

2. In-Surgery Zoom Whitening — £550

If you want instant results, Philips Zoom in-surgery whitening could be ideal. In just a 1.5-hour appointment, the whitening gel is applied in four 15-minute sessions, giving you visibly brighter teeth after one visit.

Perfect for: busy patients seeking same-day results.
Note: results vary slightly, as every smile responds differently.

3. Combination Whitening — £650

For the best of both worlds, many patients choose combination whitening, which starts with in-surgery Zoom treatment and continues with take-home whitening trays. You’ll enjoy immediate brightening in-clinic, followed by a tailored at-home phase for even longer-lasting results.

Perfect for: patients seeking comprehensive, lasting whitening.
Bonus: top up at any time for easy maintenance.

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.
