Teeth whitening in South East London: your questions answered

Updated: Nov 2, 2023



Professional teeth whitening is one of the most cost-effective and efficient ways to transform your smile. It is straightforward and non-invasive - and the finished product makes for brighter, healthier-looking, more attractive teeth!

You will inevitably notice your teeth becoming stained over time and as you age. And if you are a keen coffee or tea drinker, or are partial to strong-coloured foods like berries and curries, it’s easy for your teeth to lose their pearly-white hue.


Luckily, at M Dental, we offer home whitening kits to elevate the shade of your teeth. Like any cosmetic dental treatment, you might want to know the facts before going ahead. Here are our answers to six of your frequently asked questions:


How do we whiten your teeth?

It depends on the dentist! We always want to ensure we’re offering you the best possible results, which is why we have carefully selected our whitening treatment from the wide range of options available.

POLA whitening is a safe, effective, and advanced system which can only be used by registered dental professionals, like those at M Dental. Not visiting a trained expert is extremely risky and could cause long-term damage to your teeth.

We believe that your teeth whitening treatment should fit around your lifestyle, giving you as much flexibility as possible. That’s why you can choose between ‘PolaDay’ and ‘PolaNight’ options, both of which require you to fill tooth trays with whitening gel and wear them during the daytime or whilst you sleep.


How does it work?

Getting the perfect smile with teeth whitening in South East London has never been easier! Our POLA home whitening kits allow you to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home over the course of just a few weeks.


First, we'll custom-make your whitening trays using a 3D scan of your teeth. Each night for a number of weeks you'll add your teeth whitening gel to the trays during the day or at nighttime. After just a couple of weeks, your teeth could be up to 16 shades brighter!

How long does teeth whitening last?

Teeth whitening results can last for around three years, although the lifespan of your treatment depends on your oral health and dietary habits.

If you are partial to tea and coffee, or dark-hued foods like curry and tomato-based sauces, then stains are likely to re-form on your teeth more quickly. Filling your trays with gel and wearing them one night a week every other month can help prolong results.


How much does it cost?

At M Dental, teeth whitening only costs £270! And we offer top-up whitening gel syringes for £95, which will leave your teeth sparkling for years to come.


What are the benefits?

Our patients are always over the moon with their results! Whitening makes your teeth look brighter and healthier, giving you the confidence to smile proudly again.


Over-the-counter whitening toothpaste and strips do not have the same effect as professional whitening treatments. Whether you choose the home or in-surgery whitening, POLA Whitening guarantees you a brighter, whiter smile like no other.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Teeth whitening is completely safe if the treatment is carried out by our trained dental professionals. In keeping with NHS advice we suggest that you steer clear of over-the-counter whitening kits – cosmetic treatments should always be overseen by a dental professional. These kits may be ineffective or even damaging to your teeth.

All whitening may cause some sensitivity at first, which can last until your treatment is complete. You can use sensitive toothpaste to minimise discomfort.


Where can I get my teeth whitened?
