Transform Your Smile with Professional Teeth Whitening
Precise colour matching.
Tailored to your desired look.
Treatment Overview
We can provide you with at-home teeth whitening kits or single-session Philips Zoom Laser teeth whitening here at Mannamead Cosmetic Dental Centre in Plymouth.
A professional Cleaning and Whitening treatment can often replace the need for more expensive and invasive procedures to improve the appearance of your teeth.
Only dentists can legally sell products that can chemically change the colour of your teeth permanently.
Any whitening products you buy or use within the U.K. that a dentist does NOT supply contain hardly any bleaching agents.
Our whitening treatments can make your teeth several shades lighter. And if you’re looking to replace a missing tooth or straighten your teeth, we can plan your whitening treatment to ensure each tooth has the same consistent shade.

Teeth Whitening Before and After
We can whiten your teeth to any shade you desire.
Whether removing staining and yellowing to return to your natural colour, or achieving a bright “Hollywood & Instagram” smile.
Custom At-Home Teeth Whitening Kits for Gradual and Lasting Results
At your first appointment, we’ll use a special dental putty to take an impression (mould) of your teeth to make your custom-fitted whitening trays.
Using prescription-strength whitening gel, you then wear the trays for 1-2 hours a day for 14 days or until you are happy with the results.
Your teeth will gradually whiten each time you wear them until you reach your desired result.
After wearing the trays for two weeks, we’ll see you for a follow-up appointment to check that your teeth have reached the desired shade.
The trays are reusable, so you can ‘top-up’ the colour of your teeth anytime you want in the future.
Philips Zoom Laser Teeth Whitening in Plymouth. A Brighter Smile in 45 Minutes
Philips Zoom uses advanced blue LED light-activated technology to accelerate whitening for maximum results in minimal time. You can achieve a smile up to 6 shades whiter in just one 45-minute visit.
Before your treatment appointment, you’ll need an assessment to ensure you’re suitable, then impressions of your teeth will be taken to create the custom-fitted moulds needed.
At the start of your whitening appointment, a special gel is painted onto your teeth, then activated with an LED light to whiten them, giving you instant results.
Once finished, you’ll receive a top-up kit to use at home in the future to keep your teeth the shade of white you desire.
Frequently Asked Questions about Professional Teeth Whitening
Can professional teeth whitening remove deep, intrinsic stains?
There are two types of staining: Extrinsic (surface) and Intrinsic (shade of your teeth).
Professional and over-the-counter whitening gels/strips will only remove intrinsic stains.
Red wine, for example, leaves extrinsic stains that prevent whitening treatments from working properly because they physically block the formula from reaching your teeth.
Dental cleanings remove extrinsic stains; electric toothbrushes and whitening toothpaste can largely prevent them.
If you have these types of stains, you must have your teeth professionally cleaned before whitening them.
Does prescription-strength teeth whitening cause tooth sensitivity?
Some people find that teeth whitening can make their teeth sensitive during treatment. This is quite normal and shouldn’t last more than 48 hours in most cases.
We would advise avoiding hot and cold drinks for a couple of days after your treatment and using toothpaste for tooth sensitivity.
Why choose a professional dentist over store-bought whitening kits?
You won’t find effective over-the-counter whitening solutions unless you have only slight surface stains; in that case, regular whitening toothpaste will help.
Can yellow teeth be whitened?
Professional teeth whitening can significantly improve intrinsic tooth stains (yellowing).
Electric toothbrushes and whitening toothpaste can help prevent extrinsic staining, but aren’t very useful in improving intrinsic stains.
Will my teeth look natural after being whitened?
You can choose how many shades you would like to lighten your teeth before you begin, ensuring that the colour still looks natural and is in keeping with your skin tone.
How long does professional teeth whitening last?
How long your teeth stay “white” depends mainly on your diet. If you eat and drink bright or dark-coloured substances regularly, your teeth will lose that “whiteness” faster.
How often will I need to get my teeth whitened?
After you’ve had the moulds of your teeth made and completed the initial treatment to your satisfaction, you can “top up” your whitening whenever you feel it’s needed.
Usually, the results last at least 12 months and “topping up” will be quicker than the initial treatment. You can purchase extra whitening gel from us anytime, and the teeth moulds should last you several years if looked after.
