Brighter, Whiter Teeth – The Safe and Simple Way

At Guildford Dental Centre, we offer safe, professional teeth whitening—the most effective, non-invasive way to boost your smile.

Whitening doesn’t change your natural tooth colour, but it does lighten your teeth by several shades—without harming the enamel. It’s a gentle, pain-free process that removes stains caused by:

  • Coffee and tea
  • Red wine
  • Smoking
  • Fizzy drinks

You'll be left with a brighter, fresher-looking smile—often in just a few days!

How Whitening Works

Whitening lifts stains from your enamel using a small amount of bleaching gel. Under professional guidance, it’s completely safe and works gently to brighten your teeth.

We use custom-made home whitening trays, designed to fit your teeth perfectly. After a dental check-up and impressions, we’ll provide:

  • Your bespoke trays
  • Professional-grade whitening gel
  • Clear instructions tailored to your teeth and goals

Results can show in as little as 3 days, with full results typically appearing in 1–2 weeks.

Long-Lasting Results

Whitening results can last for years. To keep your smile glowing:

  • Avoid stain-causing foods and drinks when possible
  • Maintain regular brushing and dental hygiene
  • Top up your whitening every couple of years if needed

No surgery, no drilling—just a simple refresh when you’re ready.

Before Whitening

To get the best (and safest) results, your teeth and gums must be healthy. That’s why we recommend:

  • A oral health examination with one of our dentists
  • A hygienist visit to remove any surface stains or plaque build-up

Please note: whitening won’t work on crowns, veneers, or fillings.

What About Sensitivity?

Some people may experience temporary sensitivity during or after treatment. If so, we may recommend:

  • Shorter or less frequent wear times
  • Desensitizing toothpaste or mouthwash
  • Adjustments to your whitening plan

We’ll guide you through everything to ensure your comfort.

Received a very efficient and friendly service.Every one at the centre puts you at your ease, which helps a lot.

12th November 2025

I had sedation alongside my filling, because I find dental treatment very stressful and panic-making. Kavi did the sedation treatment very well, putting me at my ease and reassuring me about the process. Aradhana is an excellent dentist too, explaining clearly and in a reassuring manner what is going to be done and taking on board my anxieties. Because of the sedation I felt fine at the end of the procedure, and felt that all necessary care and attention had been paid to the preparations for, and carrying out of the dental work undertaken. An experience like this gives me confidence in the dentists, which was necessary for me, because for many years Jonathan Tan has been 'my' dentist, and I was very worried about no longer being able to have treatment from him owing to his now limited 1 day per week availability - on a day I cannot manage. Since Aradhana (and Kavi) started looking after my teeth, I now feel they are aware of my fears, and I also feel comfortable with them treating me, and that takes a load off my mind!

Pleasant people who try hard to make it easy for anxious patients like me have to deal with dental surgery. The receptionist Jackie is so professional and friendly. Reman the periodontist was excellent in describing the treatment, and Clare reassuring in her manner. The surgery is always very clean and it’s a good location.
