What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that lightens the natural shade of your teeth using dentist‑prescribed whitening gel, helping you achieve a visibly whiter smile while keeping your enamel safe.
At Thames Dental & Skin in Thames Ditton we use professional systems such as Enlighten teeth whitening and Philips Zoom so we can control whitening strength, speed and sensitivity rather than relying on shop‑bought products or unregulated “teeth whitening London” kiosks.
Our whitening treatments are designed to lift staining from ageing, tea and coffee, red wine and smoking, and to refresh your smile before other cosmetic treatments such as composite bonding or veneers.

Our typical process for teeth whitening
Whitening consultation
We examine your teeth and gums, discuss your goals and check that teeth whitening is suitable for you before recommending Enlighten, Philips Zoom or another option.
Custom whitening plan
We take digital scans or impressions to create close‑fitting whitening trays and select the most appropriate teeth whitening gel strength for your mouth and lifestyle.
Active whitening phase
Depending on the system chosen, you will whiten at home for a set period, attend an in‑surgery whitening appointment, or combine both for maximum brightness.
Review and maintenance
We review your results, take photographs where helpful and provide top‑up gel and advice so you can maintain your new shade long term with occasional at‑home whitening.
Plan your smile makeover in the right sequence
Teeth whitening is often the first step in a wider smile transformation, but the best, most natural results come from planning the whole journey in the right order. At Thames Dental & Skin we can take an iTero 3D scan, talk through your goals and map out an expert‑led plan that may combine whitening with treatments such as composite bonding, veneers or Invisalign when needed.
- Ensures whitening, bonding and other treatments all work together
- Lets you preview potential changes with 3D scans and photos
- Creates a personalised plan that balances results, budget and longevity

Expertise In Surrey
Our teeth whitening treatments are planned and supervised by experienced cosmetic dentists who also provide composite bonding, veneers and full smile makeovers at the clinic. This means we can advise whether teeth whitening alone will give you the result you want or whether small refinements with bonding, veneers or other treatments would work best once your teeth are lighter.
Each whitening journey starts with a dental consultation, a personalised treatment plan and clear written costs, so you know exactly what to expect before we begin.
- Specialist experience with Enlighten and Philips Zoom whitening systems
- State‑of‑the‑art scanning and photography to plan and review results
- Gentle, supportive care for nervous patients and sensitive teeth

From the very first visit to the most recent appointments, Dr. Bravis has consistently delivered unparalleled dental care that has not only kept me coming back but has also garnered the trust and admiration of my whole family. As a long-time patient since the opening of her clinic, I've had the privilege of witnessing the growth of Thames Dental Care into a premier dental practice, and Dr. Bravis's commitment to excellence has never wavered.
What truly sets Dr. Bravis apart is her ability to extend her personalized care to each member of my family. Her warmth and genuine concern for our well-being have made dental visits not just routine appointments but positive experiences that we look forward to. Dr. Bravis has successfully created an environment where even the youngest members of my family feel at ease and excited about maintaining their oral health.
The state-of-the-art facilities and the friendly, professional staff - Andrea, Tina and others, contribute to the overall positive atmosphere that has impressed not just me but my whole family. The collective sentiment is one of gratitude for having found a dental home where expertise, compassion, and a family-friendly approach are seamlessly integrated.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Theodora Bravis and Thames Dental Care to individuals and families alike. Thank you, Dr. Bravis, for consistently exceeding our expectations and for being the cornerstone of our family's dental health journey!
Frequently Asked Questions
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes. Dentist‑led teeth whitening is a well‑established procedure when carried out with approved gels and custom‑made trays under professional supervision. We assess your teeth and gums first and only proceed if whitening is safe and appropriate for you.
How long does a teeth whitening appointment take?
It depends on the system chosen. Enlighten usually involves around two weeks of at‑home whitening in custom trays plus a 40‑minute in‑surgery visit, while Philips Zoom whitening takes about an hour in the chair followed by simple home top‑ups.
How long will my whitening results last?
Results vary between patients and depend on your diet, lifestyle and oral care, but most people enjoy whiter teeth for many months or years with good brushing and regular dental check‑ups. We will show you how to maintain your shade and when to use top‑up whitening gel so you can keep your smile bright for longer.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some people notice short‑term sensitivity or gum irritation during whitening, especially if they already have sensitive teeth. We can adjust your whitening plan, recommend desensitising toothpaste and space treatments to keep you comfortable while still achieving a good result.
Am I a suitable candidate for teeth whitening?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are suitable for dentist‑led whitening, but we will always examine your mouth first and may suggest treating decay, gum problems or worn enamel before starting. Teeth whitening does not change the colour of existing fillings, crowns or veneers, so we will explain when these may need replacing after whitening for the best match.
Is teeth whitening safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
We do not recommend elective teeth whitening during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as a precaution while more research is ongoing. It is usually best to wait until after this time and then plan your whitening once it is safe to proceed.
How does dentist‑led whitening compare with shop‑bought kits?
Over‑the‑counter kits and non‑dentist providers usually contain weaker whitening gels and generic trays, so results can be slower, patchy or less predictable. With dentist‑led whitening you benefit from stronger gels where appropriate, custom‑fit trays, close monitoring and a plan that is tailored to your teeth rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all approach.
Ready to whiten your teeth?
Whether you want to freshen your smile before a special occasion or are considering whitening as part of a wider smile makeover, our dentists in Thames Ditton can help you choose the safest and most effective teeth whitening option for your smile and budget.
