Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental treatment that brightens your smile by reducing stains and discolouration. At West Garden Dental in Hounslow, we offer tailored whitening options to help you achieve a brighter, more confident smile while maintaining strong oral health.
Why teeth become stained
Teeth can become darker or stained over time due to factors such as:
Coffee, tea and red wine
Smoking or tobacco use
Age-related changes
Certain foods and drinks
Natural enamel wear
Professional whitening removes stains more effectively than over-the-counter products and is supervised by your dentist for safety and comfort.
Our whitening options
In-clinic whitening
In-clinic whitening provides fast, noticeable results in a single visit. A professional whitening gel is applied under controlled conditions, giving you a brighter smile in just one appointment.
Take-home whitening
We can also supply custom whitening trays with professional-strength gel to use at home. This option allows you to whiten gradually and comfortably at your own pace. Your dentist will explain the correct usage and expected timeframe.
Both options are personalised to match your goals and give reliable, even results.
Benefits of professional whitening
Noticeably brighter teeth
Safe, dentist-supervised treatment
Customised to your smile
Often faster and more effective than store-bought products
Helps with surface staining
Professional whitening is designed to improve the appearance of your smile while protecting your enamel and gum health.
Is teeth whitening right for you
Teeth whitening is suitable for most adults with healthy teeth and gums. Your dentist will assess your mouth, review your dental history and explain which whitening option will give you the best and safest result. Whitening may not be suitable for every type of discolouration, such as deep stains caused by medication or trauma, but your dentist can guide you to the most appropriate solution.
Aftercare and maintenance
To maintain your results longer:
Minimise intake of staining foods and drinks
Avoid smoking
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
Attend regular dental check ups
Top-up whitening gels can also be used periodically to keep your smile bright.

How the treatment works

Check-up
Your dentist will examine your teeth and gums to ensure the teeth are ready, restore any cavities and take moulds/digital scan for your bespoke whitening trays.

Trays
Your mould/scan is sent to the laboratory where technicians will manufacture the trays to fit your mouth precisely to optimise your whitening result.

Treatment
Collect your trays and gel from the dentist who will instruct you on how to use and get the most out of the system. Then it’s time to start!
