Teeth Whitening at Seaham Smiles Dental Surgery

Teeth Whitening Seaham

Whiter Teeth. Expertly Guided. Done at Home.

Tooth colour can change over time due to many factors — including ageing, staining from food and drink, trauma, illness, certain medications, and lifestyle habits.

The safest, most effective, and legally approved way to whiten your teeth is through professional treatment prescribed by a dentist. At Seaham Smiles, we use Boutique Whitening — a premium, dentist-approved system designed for convenient at-home use. It delivers outstanding, long-lasting results, and our patients love it — so do we!

  • Safe, controlled results Professional whitening avoids damage to enamel
  • Instantly rejuvenates your smile Giving you a fresher, more youthful appearance
  • Boosts confidence A brighter smile can enhance how you feel and interact
  • Tailored shades We control the shade to suit your features and preferences

What can I expect during my teeth whitening consult?

Consultation & Shade Assessment

Your journey begins with a clinical assessment of your teeth and gums to ensure whitening is safe and effective for you. We will:

  • Check for any sensitivity, decay, or gum issues
  • Discuss your desired outcome and assess your current shade
  • Recommend the most suitable whitening system for your needs

Professional At Home Treatment Option:

We offer at-home whitening options:

  • Custom take-home kits With bespoke trays and high-grade gel for gradual, controlled whitening over 3–4 weeks

Post-Treatment Advice

You’ll receive tailored advice to help prolong your results, including guidance on avoiding staining foods and drinks and maintaining excellent oral hygiene.

Am I a candidate for teeth whitening?

You may be suitable for teeth whitening if you:

  • Have discoloured or stained teeth
  • Want a brighter smile for a special occasion or a confidence boost
  • Have healthy teeth and gums with no untreated decay
  • Are over the age of 18

We’ll always ensure your smile is healthy and that whitening is appropriate for your enamel and lifestyle.

What are the risks of teeth whitening?

When performed under professional supervision, teeth whitening is very safe. However, potential risks include:

  • Tooth sensitivity Typically mild and temporary
  • Gum irritation If gel contacts soft tissue during at-home use
  • Uneven results If performed without proper trays or by non-dental providers

That’s why whitening should always be delivered by experienced clinicians like those at Seaham Smiles.

How white will my teeth get?

We’ll guide you to a shade that’s natural, flattering, and suited to your smile. Results vary depending on your starting shade and the system used.

Is whitening permanent?

Whitening is long-lasting but not permanent. Top-up treatments may be needed every 6–12 months, depending on your diet and habits.

Will whitening damage my enamel?

No. Professionally delivered whitening is safe for your enamel and gums. Over-the-counter or non-clinical options may carry risks.

Can I whiten crowns or fillings?

Whitening does not affect restorations like crowns or veneers – we’ll discuss options if you have existing dental work.
