Teeth Whitening
Brighten your smile with professional home teeth whitening in Putney at Riverside Dental Practice. Our safe, GDC-compliant treatments enhance your confidence by delivering a whiter, radiant smile tailored to your needs.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens the natural colour of your teeth by removing stains and discolouration. It’s a popular, safe way to give your smile a noticeable upgrade.
Note: Whitening only affects natural tooth enamel. Existing dental restorations such as fillings, crowns, or veneers will not change colour, which may result in uneven shades. These may need replacement post-whitening at an additional cost to achieve a uniform result.

- Instantly boosts your smile and confidence.
- Professionally supervised and safe.
- Customised for optimal results and comfort.
- Custom-made trays provide better fit and gel containment than over-the-counter kits.
The Teeth Whitening Process
01
Consultation
We assess your oral health, check for restorations, and discuss your whitening goals.
02
Mould and Tray Preparation
A precise mould is taken of your teeth. The lab creates custom-fitted trays that ensure optimal gel containment and reduce the risk of leakage.
03
Tray Fitting and Instructions
You’ll return to the practice for a tray-fitting appointment. We’ll ensure perfect fit and show you exactly how to apply the gel at home.
04
Home Whitening
You use your trays with the provided whitening gel over a course of days or weeks, depending on your selected formula.
04
Results
Teeth gradually whiten. Results vary based on enamel thickness, original shade, and lifestyle habits.
Our Whitening Options
We offer two safe and effective options:
Hydrogen Peroxide Gel 6%
Carbamide Peroxide Gel (10% or 16%)
These break down into hydrogen peroxide (active ingredient), maintaining effectiveness within the GDC-approved limit of 6% hydrogen peroxide.
A combination of both.
All products used are compliant with General Dental Council (GDC) and British Dental Association (BDA)guidelines.
Beware of over-the-counter or online whitening products, which may be unregulated and potentially harmful. Always consult your dentist before use.
Aftercare Tips :
What to Expect After
You may experience temporary sensitivity during or after treatment. If you already have sensitive teeth, we’ll discuss tailored options. Teeth whitening will lighten your natural shade, but the longevity of results depends on diet and habits (e.g., coffee, red wine, smoking). Top-up treatments help maintain your new smile.
