  • Boosts self-confidence: A brighter, whiter smile can significantly improve your self-esteem, making you feel more comfortable in social situations, photos, and professional environments.
  • Faster, more effective results: Unlike over-the-counter products that can take months to show minimal change, professional treatments provide visible, dramatic results in just one visit or a few weeks of home use.
  • Customised & precise treatment: Professional kits use custom-fitted trays and medical-grade gels, ensuring every tooth is whitened evenly while protecting your gums from irritation.
  • Removes stubborn stains: It effectively targets deep-set discolouration caused by years of drinking coffee, tea, and red wine, or from tobacco use, which regular brushing can’t reach.
  • Healthier-looking appearance: A bright smile is often associated with health and vitality. Whitening can take years off your appearance by removing the yellowing associated with ageing.
  • Safe and controlled: When performed by our dentists, the process is carefully monitored to minimise tooth sensitivity and ensure the enamel remains strong and healthy.
  • Encourages better oral hygiene: Many patients find that once they invest in a whiter smile, they are more motivated to maintain a rigorous brushing and flossing routine to keep it looking its best.

Home teeth whitening


For those who prefer the convenience of whitening in their own time, our home teeth whitening kits offer a flexible and effective solution. We provide specially designed, custom-made trays that fit your teeth snugly for maximum comfort and even coverage. You simply apply the professional whitening gel and wear the trays for 1–3 hours a day (or overnight) for 2–3 weeks. This gradual approach gives you complete control over your final shade, and once you have your custom trays, they can be used for occasional top-ups to keep your smile sparkling for years to come.

In-surgery teeth whitening (using Philips Zoom!)

If you are looking for immediate results, our in-surgery power whitening is the perfect choice. Using the advanced Philips Zoom! System, one of the safest and most advanced methods available, we can brighten your smile in just one visit.

During the treatment, a protective barrier is applied to your lips and gums before a specially formulated gel is placed on your teeth. A blue LED lamp then activates the gel to accelerate the whitening process. In just about an hour, you can leave our chair with a smile that is several shades lighter.

The longevity of your teeth whitening results depends largely on your lifestyle and how you care for your smile after treatment. Generally, professional whitening can leave your teeth several shades brighter for a significant period. To maintain your new, radiant look, we recommend avoiding or limiting foods and drinks that cause staining, such as red wine, coffee, and tea. The great benefit of our home whitening kits is that you can keep your custom-fitted trays and purchase “top-up” gels from us in the future, allowing you to easily refresh your smile whenever you feel it needs a boost.

Most adults are excellent candidates for professional teeth whitening, especially those looking to remove stains caused by ageing, smoking, or diet. During your initial consultation at Balham Dental Studio, our experts will assess your oral health to ensure the treatment is right for you. It’s important to note that whitening treatments only work on natural tooth enamel, so if you have existing crowns, veneers, or white composite fillings on your front teeth, these will not change colour and may need replacing after the treatment to match your new, brighter shade.

Day is usually 6% hydrogen peroxide gel. Hydrogen peroxide is inherently unstable and will break down immediately once you place the whitening trays in your mouth The majority of the peroxide will be spent within the first 20 minutes of wear, but to experience the full effect of the gel, we recommend at least 1 to 1.5 hours of wear time. Whitening by Night has several different protocols, all designed for a minimum of 4 hours’ wear time, but best results will manifest from keeping the trays in overnight, so you can whiten as you sleep. Wearing for 6 hours or more at night will typically yield better results. Most manufacturers offer 10% carbamide peroxide gel, or a 16% carbamide peroxide gel – both designed to be worn overnight. These are the equivalent of 3.5% hydrogen peroxide and 5.7% hydrogen peroxide, respectively. Both gels will give you a fantastic white smile, but the 16% will get you there a little faster. If you suffer from sensitivity, the 10% is a better option for whitening your teeth.

Yes, professional teeth whitening is a safe and well-established dental procedure. While some patients may experience temporary sensitivity during or immediately after treatment, this is short-lived and does not damage the teeth. At Balham Dental Studio, we offer different protocols to ensure your comfort; for example, our 10% carbamide peroxide overnight gel is an excellent, gentler option specifically recommended for those who suffer from tooth sensitivity. By having your whitening performed by a qualified dentist, you can be sure that the process is carefully monitored to protect both your teeth and your gums.

Choosing Balham Dental Studio means you are opting for a safe, medical-grade treatment rather than unpredictable over-the-counter products. We offer the latest Philips Zoom! technology for instant, in-surgery results, as well as bespoke home kits for a more gradual transformation. For the very best and longest-lasting outcome, we often recommend “combination whitening,” which pairs the immediate lift of an in-practice appointment with the deep-set stain removal of home trays. This tailored approach ensures you get the exact shade you want while maintaining the health and integrity of your smile.
