One of our most popular cosmetic treatments at this time of the year is tooth whitening. According to recent studies, at least 95% of the population long for whiter teeth, so if you are one of those looking for a brighter smile then look no further as at City Dental Leeds we have the perfect treatment for you!

Is the procedure safe?

Yes. Here at City Dental Leeds your wellbeing is of the utmost importance to us and we offer our patients the best products on the market in terms of both results and safety. The whitening gel we use contains carbamide peroxide as the primary lightening ingredient and is used by practices worldwide.

How does teeth whitening work?

We begin the procedure by taking an impression of your teeth so that we can create custom-made trays for the bleaching process. A whitening gel is then inserted into your trays which you fit onto your teeth to begin the brightening. Oxygen enters the enamel and dentine of your teeth as the gel breaks down, whitening your teeth by bleaching out stains and discolouration. This process does not alter the structure of your teeth at all, it simply whitens them.

Fast and easy

Results are almost instant, becoming visible in just one night for most patients, however to achieve optimum whiteness we also recommend using home kits for 14 days.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are rare, but a small percentage of patients could experience increased heat and cold sensitivity. However, this is only temporary and usually disappears within 48 hours of having your teeth whitened.

Do the results last forever?

The results can be permanent but the duration of the whitening depends largely on how you take care of your teeth. Good oral hygiene, particularly following staining foods or drinks could ensure that your results last for years.

Our teeth whitening is from £345 and includes a free scale and polish with a hygienist.
