We prioritise both aesthetics and dental health, ensuring your procedure is comfortable, customised, and produces long-lasting results.

What is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that lifts stains and discolouration from tooth enamel using a peroxide-based formula. At our Cheltenham clinic, we offer both in-house and take-home whitening kits tailored to your lifestyle and goals.

Our in-chair whitening uses high-strength gel activated under expert supervision to achieve rapid, noticeable results. Meanwhile, our at-home kits provide gradual whitening with custom trays for convenience and comfort. Both options are safe, non-invasive, and designed to enhance your natural tooth colour while protecting enamel, giving you a brighter, more confident smile.

Teeth Whitening Before & After Cases

Teeth Whitening Benefits

Opting for professional teeth whitening—either in-clinic or at-home—at Leckhampton Dental Clinic in Cheltenham offers several key advantages. First, both methods begin with a personalised assessment to match the right solution to your stain level, tooth sensitivity, and lifestyle.

Secondly, each option delivers significant cosmetic improvement, brightening your smile for occasions like weddings, interviews, or everyday confidence boosts.

Thirdly, you benefit from dentist-approved products and guidance that outperform over-the-counter kits in both safety and results. Finally, we provide tailored post-whitening advice, including diet tips and oral care routines, to help maintain your radiant smile long after treatment.

How Teeth Whitening Works

How In-Clinic Teeth Whitening Works

In-clinic whitening involves applying a high-concentration whitening gel to your teeth, carefully monitored by our dental team. The gel is often activated by a specialised light to speed up the process, delivering visible results in just one session with minimal sensitivity.

How At-Home Teeth Whitening Works

At-home whitening uses custom-made trays and professional-grade gel provided by your dentist. You’ll wear the trays daily for a set period—usually one to two weeks—allowing gradual, controlled whitening from the comfort of your home, with regular guidance from our team.

The Teeth Whitening Process

Step 1 – Consultation & Shade Assessment

We begin with a thorough dental check-up and assess your current tooth shade to determine the best whitening option for you.

Step 2 – Whitening Treatment Begins

For in-clinic whitening, we apply a concentrated gel and activate it with a light. For at-home whitening, we provide custom trays and whitening gel with clear instructions.

Step 3 – Results & Aftercare

You’ll notice a visibly brighter smile. We’ll guide you on post-whitening care to maintain long-lasting results and prevent future staining.
