Professional Teeth Whitening for Grantham Patients

St Mary's Dental is located in Stamford, just 18 miles from Grantham - approximately a 25-minute drive via the A1. Many Grantham patients find this short journey very worthwhile for access to our professional teeth whitening services, particularly for in-chair treatments that deliver dramatic results in a single appointment.

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

Most Grantham patients achieve teeth 6-8 shades brighter than their starting shade. Your individual results depend on your natural tooth colour, the type of staining you have (coffee, tea, wine, smoking), and your unique tooth structure. During your consultation, we'll provide realistic, personalised expectations and show you potential shade outcomes.

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

Whitening results for Grantham 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 Grantham. Most patients do brief top-up treatments every few months to keep their smile brilliant.

In-chair whitening is perfect for Grantham patients wanting immediate, dramatic results in one visit to our Stamford practice - ideal for upcoming events. Home whitening allows gradual whitening over 1-2 weeks in Grantham using custom trays and professional gel. Many patients choose both - in-chair for instant impact, then home whitening for maintenance.

Teeth whitening only affects natural tooth enamel - dental restorations like crowns, veneers, and fillings won't change colour with whitening treatment. 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 Grantham shops contain significantly lower concentrations of active ingredients and deliver minimal results. In the UK, high-strength whitening can only legally be provided by registered dental professionals. Professional treatment at St Mary's Dental is safer, more effective, properly supervised, and delivers dramatically superior, longer-lasting results.
