Your Treatment at a Glance
At Downing Dental in Solihull, we provide safe, professionally supervised teeth whitening using clinically approved peroxide-based systems. Whether you prefer the convenience of home whitening with custom trays or a more accelerated in-surgery option, we design a whitening plan matched to your goals, timeline, and current tooth shade.
Professional whitening produces significantly better results than over-the-counter products, which contain lower concentrations of active ingredient and do not use custom-fitted trays. Our whitening kits are only provided following a full examination and to patients with healthy teeth and gums.

Understanding Teeth Whitening
Professional tooth whitening works by applying a peroxide-based gel to the tooth surfaces, where it penetrates enamel and breaks down the staining compounds that cause discolouration. Custom-made whitening trays ensure the gel is evenly distributed and retained against the teeth for the correct duration, maximising effectiveness while minimising contact with the gums and soft tissues.
Results vary between patients depending on the nature and depth of staining, original tooth shade, and individual response. Intrinsic staining, such as that caused by tetracycline, may not respond as well and alternative cosmetic treatments might be more suitable. Temporary sensitivity during and shortly after whitening is common and resolves quickly; we provide specific guidance to manage this effectively.
The Right Candidate
You might be a suitable candidate for Teeth Whitening in Solihull, if any of the following apply:
- Stained or discoloured teeth: Whether caused by ageing, diet, tea, coffee, or tobacco, professional whitening can effectively lighten surface and sub-surface staining to a noticeably brighter shade.
- Healthy teeth and gums: Whitening should only be carried out on patients with no untreated decay or active gum disease that could increase sensitivity or adverse reactions.
- No recent restorations on front teeth: Whitening does not change the colour of crowns, veneers, or composite bonding; existing restorations should be considered before treatment to ensure a consistent result.
- Realistic expectations: Teeth whitening can achieve impressive shade improvements, but results vary between individuals; a consultation helps set expectations and identify the most appropriate approach.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Take a look at the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about this treatment below:
How many shades lighter will my teeth become after whitening?
Results vary depending on starting shade, staining type, and individual response. Many patients achieve a meaningful improvement of several shades; we give you a realistic idea of the expected outcome at consultation.
Is teeth whitening safe for my enamel?
Yes. Professional whitening at appropriate concentrations under dental supervision is safe for enamel. Temporary sensitivity may occur but does not indicate any damage to the tooth structure.
How long will whitening results last?
Results typically last one to two years, depending on diet, oral hygiene, and lifestyle habits. Periodic top-up treatments using your existing trays can easily maintain the achieved shade over time.
