Teeth Whitening in Marylebone at 19 Wimpole St Dental Practice
Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments available — a safe, effective way to brighten your smile by several shades in as little as one appointment. At 19 Wimpole Street Dental Practice in Marylebone, we offer two clinically proven whitening options: a professional at-home kit using custom-made trays, and in-practice Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed treatment for faster, more dramatic results.
Both options use prescription-strength whitening gel that is only available through a registered dental practice — significantly more effective than anything available over the counter, and carried out with the safety and supervision of our experienced team.
Whether your teeth have become dull over time, stained through lifestyle habits, or you’re simply looking to freshen up your smile ahead of a special occasion, professional whitening at 19 Wimpole Street delivers results that look natural and last.
- Professional strength — prescription-grade whitening gel unavailable in over-the-counter products
- Two options to suit you — at-home trays for gradual results or in-practice Zoom for same-day brightness
- Safe and supervised — carried out under the care of our experienced dental team
- Natural-looking results — brightening your smile by up to 6 shades without an artificial appearance
Why Choose Professional Whitening Over Shop-Bought Kits?
Over-the-counter whitening products are limited by law to very low concentrations of whitening agents — not enough to produce significant or lasting results. Professional whitening carried out at a dental practice uses prescription-strength gel that is both more effective and applied safely, with your individual dental health taken into account. It also involves custom-fitted trays rather than generic ones, which ensures even coverage and minimises the risk of sensitivity.
In short — professional whitening works better, lasts longer, and is safer for your teeth.

Teeth Whitening process at 19 Wimpole Street
Your Teeth Whitening Journey
1. Teeth Whitening Consultation
Your first appointment is a no-obligation assessment where we’ll check the health of your teeth and gums, discuss the cause of any staining, and recommend the most appropriate whitening option for you. Not all discolouration responds equally to whitening — we’ll be honest about what results you can realistically expect and whether an alternative treatment such as veneers might be more suitable.
2. Whitening Treatment
For at-home whitening, we’ll take precise impressions of your teeth to create your custom trays. Once ready, we’ll show you how to apply the gel and wear the trays correctly to get the best results safely.
For in-practice Zoom whitening, the treatment takes approximately one hour. The gel is applied to your teeth in stages and activated with the Zoom light, with the full process taking place in a single comfortable appointment at our Marylebone practice.
3. Aftercare
Some patients experience mild, temporary sensitivity following whitening — this is normal and typically settles within a day or two. We’ll talk you through any aftercare advice before your treatment begins, including which foods and drinks to avoid in the first 48 hours. To maintain your results long term, we recommend regular hygiene appointments, a good oral care routine at home, and a top-up with your custom trays as needed.
Your questions answered
about teeth whitening at 19 Wimpole Street Dental Practice
So many people feel ashamed of their smiles for the simple reason that their teeth have become dull or stained over time. Teeth whitening is a quick fix that can boost your smile’s brightness by up to 6 shades, leaving you able to smile freely once more. The procedure may cause short-term sensitivity.
Teeth whitening can be a fast, effective way to cosmetically brighten and enhance your smile – and we offer two treatment types that can flex around your busy schedule. While long-lasting, it’s not necessarily a permanent solution, especially if you have a diet or lifestyle that leaves you susceptible to staining (drinking coffee or red wine; smoking; poor oral routine etc).
In some cases, teeth whitening can cause sensitivity, but this should pass (and mostly does). While most people are happy with their results, it is possible for your smile to look ‘too white’ or unnatural, which is why we will always guide you with your treatment. Finally, it won’t whiten existing fillings or crowns on the teeth.
Most patients are suitable for professional teeth whitening, but suitability depends on your oral health. Teeth whitening works best on natural teeth and may not be effective on crowns, veneers, or fillings. During your consultation at our Marylebone practice, we’ll examine your teeth and gums to ensure treatment is safe and effective for you.
Results from professional teeth whitening can last anywhere from several months to a few years, depending on your lifestyle and dental care routine. Avoiding staining foods and drinks, quitting smoking, and keeping up with regular hygiene visits can help maintain your brighter smile for longer.
Yes – you can see more details on our Smile Makeover page. We often say that teeth whitening is the perfect ‘finishing touch’ for other treatments, such as Invisalign clear braces and teeth straightening.
Yes, when carried out by a qualified dentist, teeth whitening is a safe and effective treatment. Our Marylebone dentists use regulated whitening systems that protect your teeth and gums while delivering noticeable results. Over-the-counter or unregulated treatments may cause sensitivity or uneven whitening, which is why professional care is always recommended.
