Teeth whitening in Great Yarmouth
Over time teeth can become stained or darker, especially with tea, coffee, red wine or smoking. Some people naturally have darker teeth. Professional whitening can lighten the colour of your teeth.
We start by checking your teeth and gums and talking about the result you'd like. Whitening is only provided after a dental assessment.

Common questions
How much is teeth whitening in Great Yarmouth?
Professional home whitening at Smile Dental Clinic is £380. Whitening is only provided after a dental assessment, so we can check your teeth and gums are healthy first.
Who can whiten teeth in the UK?
In the UK, teeth whitening can only legally be carried out by a dentist or a registered dental professional working to a dentist's prescription. Whitening from beauty salons or kiosks is not legal.
How long does it take?
Home whitening is done gradually over a few weeks, wearing your custom trays as your dental team advises. We'll record your starting shade so you can see the change.
Will my teeth be sensitive?
Some people notice temporary sensitivity while whitening. It usually settles once you finish. Tell us if it happens, as we can adjust how you use the gel.
Will whitening change my fillings or crowns?
No. Whitening only lightens natural teeth, not fillings, crowns or veneers. If you have these at the front, we'll talk you through how they may look afterwards.
After whitening
- For the first 48 hours, avoid foods and drinks that stain, such as coffee, tea, red wine and berries
- Limit coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco to help results last
- Brush and clean between your teeth regularly
- Ask us about occasional top-up treatments
