Professional Teeth Whitening for Boston Patients

St Mary's Dental is located in Stamford, approximately 35 miles from Boston - about a 40-minute drive via the A16 and A1. Many Boston patients find this journey very worthwhile for access to our professional teeth whitening services, especially for in-chair treatments that deliver immediate, dramatic results in a single visit.

Absolutely. Professional teeth whitening at St Mary's Dental is very safe when performed by our qualified dental professionals. We use prescription-strength, carefully formulated and regulated products, and protect your gums throughout treatment. This is much safer than unregulated products Boston residents might find online or in shops.

Most Boston patients achieve teeth 6-8 shades brighter than their starting shade. Individual results vary depending on your natural tooth colour, the type and severity of staining (coffee, tea, wine, smoking), and your unique tooth structure. During your consultation, we'll provide realistic, personalised expectations specific to your teeth.

Some patients experience temporary sensitivity during or shortly after whitening treatment, but this typically resolves within a few days. We use professional products specifically designed to minimise sensitivity. Boston patients can easily manage any sensitivity at home with desensitising toothpaste we recommend.

Results for Boston patients typically last 1-3 years, depending on your diet, lifestyle habits (smoking accelerates re-staining), and oral hygiene routine. We provide touch-up gel so you can maintain your bright smile at home in Boston without frequent return visits. Most patients do brief top-ups every few months.

In-chair whitening is ideal for Boston patients wanting immediate, dramatic results in one visit to our Stamford practice - perfect for upcoming events or special occasions. Home whitening allows gradual whitening over 1-2 weeks in Boston using custom trays and professional gel. Many patients combine both approaches for optimal results.

Teeth whitening only affects natural tooth enamel - crowns, veneers, and fillings won't change colour. If you have visible restorations in your smile, we'll discuss this during your consultation and may recommend replacing them after whitening to match your new, brighter natural teeth.

Over-the-counter whitening products available in Boston shops contain much lower concentrations of active whitening ingredients and deliver minimal results. In the UK, high-strength whitening can only legally be provided by dental professionals. Professional treatment at St Mary's Dental is safer, more effective, properly supervised, and delivers dramatically superior, longer-lasting results.
