Teeth whitening at our central London clinic.
A short walkthrough of what to expect during your professional whitening appointment.
Important regulatory information
- Age 18+ only.Tooth whitening using products containing > 0.1% hydrogen peroxide is restricted by EU Cosmetics Regulation 2011 to patients aged 18 and over.
- Provided by GDC-registered professionals only. Under the Dentists Act 1984, tooth whitening is the practice of dentistry and may only be carried out by, or on the prescription of, a dentist registered with the General Dental Council. The first cycle must be performed by a registered dentist.
- Clinical exam required. A full dental examination is mandatory before any whitening — we do not whiten teeth without confirming gum and tooth health first.
- Results vary. Whitening lightens natural enamel only; existing crowns, veneers and fillings will not change shade. Mild, transient sensitivity is the most common side effect.

Important information
What to expect, and what we never claim.
Suitability is individual. Teeth Whitening is only recommended after a clinical assessment of your dental, medical and aesthetic needs. We do not begin treatment without your written, informed consent.
Results vary. Outcomes depend on your starting position, biology and adherence to home care. We will not promise a specific result, and we never use enhanced or filtered before-and-after imagery.
Risks and alternatives. Every treatment carries risks and alternatives. These will be discussed with you in writing as part of your treatment plan, in line with GDC standards on consent.
Pricing transparency. Starting prices are indicative. Your final fee is confirmed in writing after your consultation. Finance is available on treatments £500 and over, subject to status.

Common questions before you book.
Am I too old for braces?+
No — there is no upper age limit. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, orthodontic treatment works at any age.
How much do clear aligners cost in London?+
Our ProAligners plans start from £1,000 (Easy Align) and go up to £2,990 (Ultimate Align) for comprehensive cases. The right plan depends on your case complexity and is confirmed in writing after your consultation. Finance is available, subject to status.
Which ProAligners plan is right for me?+
Easy Align (from £1,000) suits minor crowding or small gaps; Smart Align (from £1,700) covers mild to standard cases needing alignment and bite correction; Ultimate Align (from £2,990) is our comprehensive plan for complex crowding, rotations and full-arch realignment. Your dentist will recommend the right plan after a digital scan and clinical assessment.
Are your dentists orthodontic specialists?+
No. Our clinicians are GDC-registered general dental practitioners with experience in clear-aligner therapy — they are not GDC-listed specialists in orthodontics. If your case requires specialist input, we will tell you and refer you on.
What does the £30 new-patient checkup include?+
A full examination with a GDC-registered dentist and a written, itemised plan. Nothing is booked without your say-so. X-rays are £20 each if clinically needed and always quoted before they're taken.
Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?+
Yes. An Emergency Dental Appointment provides same-day relief for toothache, swelling, broken teeth and dental injuries. The fee is £95; new patients can book the £30 new-patient offer.
Is finance available?+
Finance is available on treatments £500 and over, subject to status. Provided by an FCA-authorised credit broker. We will explain the options and figures in writing at your consultation.
