Remove Everyday Staining
Tea, coffee, red wine, and certain foods can gradually stain teeth over time. Professional whitening helps lift deep stains and restore a brighter appearance.
Whitening for Coffee & Wine Drinkers
Daily coffee, tea, and wine consumption are some of the most common causes of tooth discolouration. Our whitening treatments are designed to target these stubborn surface
Freshen a Smile Affected by Smoking
Smoking and tobacco use can leave yellow or dark stains that are difficult to remove with regular brushing alone. Professional whitening can noticeably improve the appearance of stained teeth.
Brighten Teeth Affected by Ageing
As we age, enamel naturally becomes thinner, making teeth appear darker or more yellow. Teeth whitening can help rejuvenate your smile and restore a more youthful appearance.
Feel More Confident for Weddings & Special Events
Many patients choose teeth whitening before weddings, holidays, photoshoots, or important events to feel more confident in their smile.

Teeth Whitening Options at Refresh Dental
Remove Stains from Coffee, Wine & Everyday Life
At-Home Whitening Kits
A scan of your teeth will be taken and sent to a dental lab so that they can manufacture your bespoke whitening trays. Once your bespoke trays are ready, you will collect them from your dentist and you will be given careful instructions about how much gel to put into the trays and how often you need to wear the trays, depending on your day or night option.
Whitening for Stained Teeth
The use of an LED light during your in-house whitening session is very effective because the blue light is able to speed up the process of the hydrogen peroxide working on your teeth. LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. It’s a type of light that is used to activate the teeth whitening agents.s LED whitening is considered safe. When it comes to tooth sensitivity, everyone is unique in how they are affected.
Internal Tooth Whitening
The internal bleaching gel has the same effect as the external bleaching products, but it acts from the inside of the tooth. The procedure can be performed as a self standing procedure or correlated with external whitening procedures. Internal bleaching is recommended when the color changes originate in the pulp and if the stains cannot be cleaned externally.
Enlighten Teeth Whitening is the world‘s best performing teeth-whitening treatment.
We guarantee Vita shade B1 for every patient and long lasting whitening results with low sensitivity.
The active ingredient passes through the dental enamel, breaking down stains by chemical oxidation without harming the tooth surface. The process can take some time so it is important to finish the treatment as directed by your dentist. We will create a bespoke mould to fit your teeth perfectly. The Enlighten whitening trays will then be worn overnight for two weeks followed by a return visit to us for the final 40 minute treatment.
Boutique Teeth Whitening is a safe, effective way to enhance your smile.
Using the highest quality whitening gel, you can be assured of fantastic results and a brighter, whiter smile.
Using Day or Night kits, custom trays with whitening gel are worn for one hour or overnight. The gel releases oxygen free radicals (which whiten the teeth) over a longer period of time, due to its sustained release. This gradual approach will still give fantastic results, due to the length of time the gel stays active.

Teeth Whitening FAQs
Find answers to the most common questions about teeth whitening treatment, costs, comfort, and results, so you can feel confident before starting your smile journey.
How long does teeth whitening last? A:
With good oral hygiene and regular maintenance with dental hygiene visits, results can last for several years. Many patients maintain their brighter smile with simple top-up whitening treatments as recommended by their dentist. Enlighten whitening is able to achieve a guaranteed VITA B1 shade (where suitable), making it one of the most effective professional whitening systems available.
Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Yes! When carried out under the supervision of a dental professional, teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile.
Professional whitening treatments are carefully prescribed to ensure they are suitable for your teeth and gums. Before treatment, we will assess your oral health and discuss the best whitening option for you.
Does teeth whitening hurt?
This is one of the most common questions we get asked!
The good news is that most of our patients experience little to no discomfort during professional teeth whitening. However, some people may notice temporary tooth sensitivity, especially when consuming hot or cold foods and drinks.
Sensitivity can vary from person to person and usually settles within a few days after treatment.
Professional whitening systems are designed to minimise discomfort, and we can recommend products and techniques to help manage any sensitivity if it occurs.
What foods should I avoid after whitening?
After teeth whitening, your teeth can be more susceptible to staining for the first 24–48 hours, so it’s important to be mindful of what you eat and drink.
To help maintain your newly brightened smile, try to avoid:
- Coffee and tea
- Red wine
- Coloured fizzy drinks
- Curry and tomato-based sauces
- Berries and dark-coloured fruits
- Soy sauce and balsamic vinegar
- Beetroot
- Tobacco products
A good rule of thumb is: If it would stain a white shirt, it could stain your teeth! Instead, choose “white” or light-coloured foods.
Can whitening remove deep stains?
Professional teeth whitening is safer, more effective, and tailored specifically to your smile than shop-bought whitening products.
Here’s why:
- Custom-Made Trays – Professional whitening uses trays made to fit your teeth precisely, helping to achieve more even results.
- Stronger, More Effective Whitening Gels – Dental whitening systems use clinically proven ingredients and concentrations that deliver predictable results.
- Professional Supervision – We assess your teeth and gums before treatment to ensure whitening is safe and suitable for you.
- Better Results – Professional treatments such as Boutique Whitening and Enlighten Whitening can often achieve significantly brighter results than over-the-counter alternatives.
- Solutions for Complex Stains – If your staining is caused by white spots, trauma, or a darkened root canal-treated tooth, treatments such as ICON or internal whitening may be more appropriate than standard whitening alone.
Many shop-bought kits can provide limited improvement, but they are often unable to achieve the same level of whitening as professionally prescribed treatments.
How white can my teeth go?
Professional teeth whitening can successfully improve many types of staining, particularly those caused by coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and the natural ageing process.
However, some deeper or internal stains may require alternative or additional treatments to achieve the best results.
Depending on the cause of the staining, your dentist may recommend:
- Professional Teeth Whitening: Effective for many external and age-related stains.
- ICON Treatment: A minimally invasive treatment that can improve the appearance of white spots and certain enamel defects without drilling.
- Internal Whitening: Suitable for some root canal-treated teeth that have darkened from the inside. This treatment whitens the tooth internally to help restore a more natural colour.
- Composite Bonding or Veneers: For stains that do not respond predictably to whitening treatments.
Every smile is unique, which is why a consultation is the best way to determine the most suitable treatment for you.
