So, What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens the natural colour of your teeth using a controlled bleaching agent — typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. The active ingredient penetrates the enamel and breaks down the compounds responsible for discolouration, leaving the teeth visibly lighter.
Professional whitening carried out at or under the supervision of a dental practice is significantly more effective than anything available over the counter. The concentration of whitening agent permitted in professional products is far higher than in shop-bought kits, and the custom-made trays used in take-home whitening ensure the gel contacts the teeth evenly and consistently — something an ill-fitting generic tray simply cannot achieve.
It is worth being clear about what whitening can and cannot do. It works on natural tooth enamel. It will not change the colour of crowns, veneers, composite bonding or white fillings — which is why the sequencing of whitening alongside other cosmetic treatments matters. Your clinician will advise on the right approach for your specific situation.
Teeth whitening options at Brunner Court
Take-home whitening
Our most popular whitening option. Custom-made trays are fabricated from impressions or digital scans of your teeth, ensuring a precise, snug fit that holds the whitening gel evenly against the tooth surface. You wear the trays at home — typically for a set period each day or overnight — for a course of treatment that gradually and comfortably lightens your teeth to the desired shade. Take-home whitening gives you more control over the final result and the flexibility to top up your whitening in the future using the same trays with additional gel. Most patients see a noticeable difference within one to two weeks.
In-practice whitening
For patients who want faster results, in-practice whitening delivers a more immediate outcome in a single appointment at the practice. A higher-concentration gel is applied to the teeth under controlled conditions, producing a significant shade improvement in one session.
Combined whitening
For the best overall result, some patients choose a combined approach — in-practice whitening to achieve an immediate change, followed by a take-home course to consolidate and refine the shade. Your clinician will recommend the most appropriate option based on your starting shade, your goals and whether you are combining whitening with other cosmetic treatment such as composite bonding or veneers.
Am I a suitable candidate?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are suitable candidates for professional teeth whitening. It is one of the most straightforward cosmetic treatments available, with very few absolute contraindications.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have healthy teeth and gums with no active decay or gum disease
- Are unhappy with the colour or brightness of your natural teeth
- Have staining from food, drink, smoking or general ageing
- Are over 18 years of age
- Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
We would discuss your circumstances carefully if you:
- Have significant tooth sensitivity: Whitening can temporarily increase sensitivity. Where existing sensitivity is significant, your clinician will recommend a specific protocol to minimise discomfort — including sensitivity toothpaste and a modified wearing schedule.
- Have existing cosmetic restorations: Crowns, veneers, composite bonding and white fillings will not whiten. If you have visible restorations on your front teeth, whitening may create a colour mismatch. Your clinician will advise on how to manage this.
- Have intrinsic staining: Some types of discolouration — caused by tetracycline, fluorosis or trauma — do not respond well to whitening. Where this is the case, veneers or composite bonding may be a more appropriate option.
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding: Whitening is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. We will advise you to wait until after this period before proceeding.
The only way to know for certain whether whitening is right for you is a consultation. If it is not the best option, we will tell you honestly and suggest what is.
What does teeth whitening treatment involve?
Consultation
Your first appointment is a consultation to assess your teeth, discuss your whitening goals and confirm you are suitable for treatment. Your clinician will check for any decay, gum issues or existing restorations that may affect the outcome and advise on the best whitening approach for your case.
Impressions or digital scans
For take-home whitening, impressions or digital scans of your teeth are taken to fabricate your custom trays. This ensures a precise fit that holds the whitening gel in consistent contact with the tooth surface throughout the wearing period.
Tray fitting and instructions
Your custom trays are ready within a few days. At your fitting appointment your clinician will show you exactly how to apply the whitening gel, how long to wear the trays and what to expect during treatment. You will leave with everything you need to begin whitening at home.
Home whitening course
You wear your trays with the prescribed whitening gel for the recommended period each day — typically one to two hours or overnight, depending on the product used. Most patients see a noticeable improvement within the first week and reach their desired shade within two to three weeks.
Review
We will review your results once your initial whitening course is complete. If further whitening is needed to reach the desired shade, additional gel can be prescribed. Your trays can be used for top-up whitening in the future whenever the shade begins to fade.

Frequently asked questions about teeth whitening in Northwich
Whitening fees at Brunner Court are confirmed at your consultation once your clinician has assessed your teeth and recommended the most appropriate option — take-home, in-practice or a combined approach.

Professional teeth whitening typically lasts between one and three years before a top-up is needed, depending on your diet, lifestyle and oral hygiene habits. Foods and drinks that stain — coffee, tea, red wine, certain berries — will gradually reduce the whiteness over time. Regular hygiene appointments help maintain the result. Patients with take-home trays can easily top up their whitening at home with additional gel whenever needed.
Yes, when carried out under the supervision of a qualified dental professional. The whitening agents used are safe and effective at the concentrations used in professional products. Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity or mild gum irritation during treatment — both of which are normal and resolve once the course is complete. Over-the-counter whitening products used without dental supervision carry a higher risk of misuse, uneven results and damage to existing restorations.
No. Whitening agents work on natural tooth enamel only and will not change the colour of crowns, veneers, composite bonding or white fillings. If you have existing restorations on your visible teeth, your clinician will advise carefully on whether whitening is appropriate and how to manage any potential colour mismatch. Where whitening is being combined with other cosmetic treatment, the correct sequence is always to whiten first and match the new restorations to the whitened shade.
In many cases, yes. Tooth sensitivity is one of the most common concerns about whitening and it is manageable in most patients. Your clinician will assess the extent of your sensitivity at consultation and may recommend a modified wearing schedule, a lower-concentration gel or the use of sensitivity toothpaste before and during treatment. Where sensitivity is very significant, your clinician will advise on the most appropriate approach for your specific situation.
