What affects whitening results

Every smile starts somewhere different.

Outcomes vary from person to person. Tap a factor to see why. No specific result is promised.

Coffee, tea and red wine

Regular exposure to staining drinks can build surface staining over time. Whitening can help with many types of surface staining, but not every kind of discolouration responds.

Smoking

Smoking-related staining can be stubborn. Results vary, and your therapist will be honest about what to expect.

Natural tooth shade and characteristics

Some teeth are naturally darker or more translucent, and this affects how much change is likely.

Crowns, veneers and other restorations

Restorations do not whiten like natural tooth. They can end up a different shade from the teeth around them.

Individual response

Two people with similar teeth can respond differently. Your starting shade, the cause of staining and your own biology all play a part.

Relevant dental conditions

Some conditions, such as gum problems or cracked teeth, can make whitening unsuitable until they are treated. A dental check may be recommended.

Sensitivity and suitability

Honest about who it suits.

  • Temporary sensitivity can occur.
  • Not everyone is suitable for whitening.
  • Results vary between people.
  • Existing restorations may not whiten like natural teeth.
  • Some clients may need a dental assessment first.
  • Suitability is decided individually, at consultation or booking.

Frequently asked questions

Honest answers.

How does cosmetic teeth whitening work?

Whitening uses a peroxide-based gel to lift stains from the tooth surface and within the tooth. Your therapist will explain the products and steps used at AlphaDermis at your appointment.

How long does an appointment take?

The standard single session is booked as 1 hour on our booking system. Please confirm timing when you book.

Will my teeth become sensitive?

Temporary sensitivity can occur and varies between people. Tell your therapist about any existing sensitivity before treatment, and let them know if you are uncomfortable at any point.

How long might results last?

It varies. Results are influenced by what you eat and drink, smoking, oral hygiene and your natural tooth characteristics. Your therapist can suggest ways to look after your result.

Does whitening work on crowns or veneers?

Existing restorations such as crowns, veneers and fillings may not whiten the way natural teeth do. This can lead to a visible difference in shade. Please tell us about any dental work before booking.

Can everyone have teeth whitening?

No. Suitability is assessed individually. Some people may need a dental check first, and whitening may not be recommended in some circumstances.

How should I prepare?

Your therapist will give you a short preparation list at booking. It helps to keep up normal brushing and flossing, and to tell us about any dental concerns.

What should I avoid after treatment?

We will give you simple aftercare guidance after your session, including any food and drink considerations for the first period afterwards.

How often can whitening be repeated?

This depends on your teeth and your response, and should be agreed with your therapist. More frequent whitening is not necessarily better.

What if I have existing dental concerns?

If you have cavities, gum problems, cracked teeth or ongoing sensitivity, we may recommend seeing your dentist before whitening. A conversation at booking or consultation helps us advise you honestly.
