The whitening experience
What affects whitening results
Outcomes vary from person to person. Tap a factor to see why. No specific result is promised.
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-related staining can be stubborn. Results vary, and your therapist will be honest about what to expect.
Some teeth are naturally darker or more translucent, and this affects how much change is likely.
Restorations do not whiten like natural tooth. They can end up a different shade from the teeth around them.
Two people with similar teeth can respond differently. Your starting shade, the cause of staining and your own biology all play a part.
Some conditions, such as gum problems or cracked teeth, can make whitening unsuitable until they are treated. A dental check may be recommended.

Frequently asked questions
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.
The standard single session is booked as 1 hour on our booking system. Please confirm timing when you book.
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.
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.
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.
No. Suitability is assessed individually. Some people may need a dental check first, and whitening may not be recommended in some circumstances.
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.
We will give you simple aftercare guidance after your session, including any food and drink considerations for the first period afterwards.
This depends on your teeth and your response, and should be agreed with your therapist. More frequent whitening is not necessarily better.
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.
