Instant Teeth Whitening

IU teeth whitening

With certain dental treatments and products, you can minimise the appearance of discolouration and achieve an immediately brighter smile. Here are your instant teeth whitening options. Skip to:

  • In-clinic teeth whitening
  • Teeth whitening pens and strips
  • Dental bonding
  • Alternative teeth whitening treatments

In-clinic teeth whitening

This powerful treatment transforms the colour of your smile in just one appointment. Available at private dental clinics only, the procedure is safely carried out by a qualified administrator. The procedure is simple. First, your dentist will paint your teeth with a high-grade bleaching gel. Then, a special light or laser is shone onto the teeth, activating the whitening process. For this treatment, you can expect to be in the chair for 1 - 2 hours.

  • Price: £300 - £1,000
  • Longevity: Up to 3 years

Teeth whitening pens and strips

What whitens your teeth immediately? Another answer to this question is teeth whitening pens and strips. These portable products can be purchased online or over-the-counter, and provide results in just minutes. Typically, some sort of whitening agent (such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide) is used to address surface stains. Please note that, if you have moderate or severe discolouration, you may not see any difference in the colour of your teeth.

  • Price: Starts from £7
  • Longevity: Up to 6 months

Dental bonding

A more long-term whitening solution, dental bonding uses a hard-wearing resin to disguise the appearance of yellow teeth. The versatile cosmetic treatment is also used to hide chips, cracks and small gaps. Nanofill Composite Bonding®, Yorkshire Dental Suite’s exclusive procedure, uses a proprietary resin and application technique to perfect your teeth. Completed in four hours or less, you are able to leave the clinic with a same-day smile transformation.

  • Price: £495 per tooth
  • Longevity: 5 - 8 years

Alternative teeth whitening treatments

If you are willing to try alternative methods that may take slightly longer to deliver results, these are some great options. Consult with your dentist to identify which is the most suitable treatment.
