For a smile that lights up a room, we recommend teeth whitening treatments at Diamond Dental Care.

Do you feel self-conscious when you smile? Do you wish your smile looked brighter in photos? If you’re lacking confidence when it comes to your teeth, then teeth whitening could be the answer. This popular cosmetic dental treatment is one of the fastest and most effective ways to inject a bit of confidence into your grin.

What is teeth whitening?

This cosmetic treatment uses bleaching agents to whiten the teeth, leaving them looking brighter and better than ever. The exact way this is achieved differs from treatment to treatment, but in most cases, either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide is safely applied to the teeth, where they penetrate the enamel and break down the discoloured particles.

What is the treatment like?

This will depend on which treatment system you use, but many of them utilise at home whitening trays and gels which you’ll wear every day for a few hours or overnight for a duration of two weeks. In some cases, you may also choose an in-practice treatment for the ultimate finish.

Which products do you use?

At Diamond Dental Care, we’ve chosen to work with Boutique Whitening, Enlighten Evolution, and Pola Whitening to help bring our patients their whitest smile yet.

How much whiter will my teeth be?

This varies from patient to patient and can depend on the shade of your teeth at the start of the treatment. However, if you choose to use Enlighten Evolution, they are the only company able to guarantee a B1 shade finish.

How long does the treatment take?

This can vary from treatment to treatment, but most at-home treatment systems get to work in two weeks.

You can call us on 01375 373 409 to speak to our front of house team, if you prefer you can WhatsApp us on 07832 639 145.

Is professional teeth whitening safe?

When whitening is prescribed and supervised by a dental professional, it is a safe and effective way to brighten natural teeth. Your dentist will first check that your teeth and gums are healthy enough for whitening.

Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?

Temporary sensitivity is a common side effect of whitening. The likelihood and severity vary between patients, and your dental team can advise on ways to minimise sensitivity and adjust treatment if needed.

How white will my teeth get?

Results vary depending on your starting shade, the cause of discolouration and how your teeth respond to treatment. Your dentist can explain what is realistically achievable for your smile.

Will teeth whitening work on crowns, veneers or fillings?

No. Whitening changes the colour of natural tooth structure but does not whiten existing crowns, veneers, fillings or composite bonding. If you have restorations, your dentist can advise on the best order of treatment.

How long does teeth whitening last?

Whitening is not permanent. How long the result lasts depends on factors such as diet, smoking, oral hygiene and your individual teeth. Many patients choose occasional top-up whitening.

Do I need to change my diet after teeth whitening?

Your dental team may recommend limiting strongly coloured foods and drinks for a period after whitening, particularly while the teeth are more prone to staining. Tea, coffee, red wine, curry and tobacco can contribute to staining.

How often should I whiten my teeth?

The frequency of whitening and top-up treatment should be based on the whitening system used and your dentist’s advice. Whitening too frequently can increase the risk of sensitivity and irritation.

What is the difference between Enlighten and 360 whitening?

Both are dentist-supervised whitening options, but they use different products and protocols. Enlighten is a premium whitening system designed for a highly predictable result, while 360 is a professional home-whitening system using custom-made trays. Your dentist can recommend the most appropriate option for you.

How much are whitening syringes and how often will I need them?

The number of syringes and timing of top-ups vary according to the whitening system, your starting shade and how you maintain your result. Your practice can provide current pricing and advise when a top-up is appropriate.

I highly recommend this excellent dental team. From the friendly, welcoming faces at Reception to the reassuringly professional work of the surgeons. A huge thankyou, in particular, to Neel Sethi for the time and patience he took to outline the options and procedures available, to the eventual satisfactory outcome. Throughout I was always made to feel welcome, relaxed and in very capable hands. I look forward to all future visits with my new friends 😀.

Friendly and helpful staff, nice clean facilities. Been very happy with the dental work I've had done here. you've no hope if trying via NHS realistically but going private with them has worked out well for me over the last few years since i started going here.

I had a fantastic experience at this practice. Neel was incredibly thorough. He took time to explain my options, as well as what I could expect from the procedures and answered any follow-up questions I had. Both he and the dental nurse were incredibly attentive and kind. I felt like I was in safe hands with them both.

Great dental experience for my partner and I. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a dentist or hygienist. Huge thank you to Dr Cuppoor for her professional and expert advise and care!

I contacted Diamond Dental because I was in a lot of pain with a tooth that needed extraction. I had spoken to my dentist of 35 years and they offered me an appointment in 3 weeks. The only reason I still had the troublesome tooth was because they had cancelled an emergency appointment a while back. The whole team at DD were professional and helpful from the first phone call. I was seen the same day and the dentist, Yanisha, was a true professional and also had a lovely friendly manner explaining everything and putting me at ease. Excellent service and a good price too. I strongly recommend !

I received a very professional service from start to finish at this clinic. I was seen by Neel Sethi who did a thorough check and explained the filling treatment that I needed. He was very gentle and I did not feel any discomfort or pain during the whole process. He even showed me before and after photos, which I had not experienced at any other clinic. I felt totally at ease and will go back to Neel for any future checks and treatments.

Amazing service. The staff I have met are all super friendly.I could not have asked for a better experience. Tayla at the desk was really welcoming, and during the actual appointment Andrea and Corinne gave me the best treatment. I felt no pain or discomfort at any time and more importantly I was consistently informed about the process and given clear options on how to proceed for future appointments.I would highly recommended this dentist to those in need or anyone just looking for somewhere to do a regular check-up.

I don’t usually write reviews but Neel at Diamond Dental Group was amazing throughout my treatment. He explained everything so clearly and simply and kept me informed throughout.He didn’t pressurise me into any treatment and really felt like I was getting fair and honest advice and treatment options which is why I ended up choosing him.In the end the treatment was a breeze, run super comfortably and professionally by Neel and now I am not anxious or scared for my next appointment as know I’m in good hands!Thanks so much Neel :)

My first point of contact was Alison. She was brilliant and made me feel welcome and she was also there when I first attended. Very much appreciated as I was a real scaredy-cat. I love my new dentist Neel in the most professional way and I put my trust in him. My confidence is growing with this practice after 34 years of being at another.I have no hesitation in my recommendation.
