Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening using Opalescence and Zoom! systems, available as in-office single-session treatment or custom take-home bleaching kits. In-office sessions typically achieve several shades of improvement in around one hour.

Ashford Dental Centre offers professional teeth whitening at all clinic locations using two of the most clinically proven whitening platforms: Opalescence and Zoom! In-office whitening with Zoom! uses a high-concentration hydrogen peroxide gel activated by a specialised light to break down stains on enamel and dentine. Treatment takes approximately one hour and can lighten teeth by several shades in a single session. It is ideal for patients seeking fast, dramatic results. Opalescence is used for both in-office and take-home protocols. The take-home system uses custom-fabricated trays and a lower-concentration gel worn for a prescribed period daily, producing gradual but long-lasting results with minimal sensitivity compared to over-the-counter alternatives. Prior to any whitening treatment, a clinical examination is performed to assess suitability — patients with active decay, gum disease, or heavily restored front teeth may require treatment before whitening can proceed. All whitening at Ashford is supervised by registered dental professionals, ensuring safe application and appropriate post-treatment care guidance.
