Transform Your Smile with Professional Teeth Whitening
Precise colour matching.
Tailored to your desired look.
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
Will my whitened teeth look unnatural or fake?
Not at all. Whether you want to restore your teeth to their natural colour or achieve a bright, Hollywood-style smile, you are entirely in control.
Before we begin your treatment at our Mutley Plain clinic, we will help you choose the exact number of shades you wish to lighten your teeth, ensuring the final colour perfectly complements your skin tone and looks completely natural.
Where can I find your Plymouth teeth-whitening clinic, and is there parking available?
Our state-of-the-art cosmetic dental practice is located at 7 Lockyer Road, just a short walk from Mutley Plain in Plymouth (PL3 4RL). We are easily accessible from the Manadon roundabout, Drake Circus, and Laira Bridge.
You will find convenient on-street parking right outside our doors (permit-only between 3:00 pm and 4:00 pm), and there are two car parks roughly 100 metres away at Mutley Barracks and Napier Terrace, both offering two hours of free parking.
What is the difference between at-home whitening and Philips Zoom laser whitening?
Both treatments use prescription-strength gels to effectively remove intrinsic (yellowing) stains, but they work at different speeds. Our Philips Zoom laser treatment is carried out in our Plymouth clinic; we apply a special gel and activate it with an LED light for instant, dramatic results.
The at-home option involves wearing custom-fitted professional trays with whitening gel for a couple of weeks until you reach your desired shade, followed by a check-up with our team.
How quickly can I get a whiter smile with your Philips Zoom treatment?
If you have an upcoming wedding or special event in Devon and need fast results, Philips Zoom is ideal. After an initial assessment to check your suitability and take impressions, the laser whitening procedure can lighten your smile by up to 6 shades in a single 45-minute visit to our clinic.
Do I need to see a dental hygienist before whitening my teeth?
Yes, we strongly recommend a professional cleaning before any whitening treatment. Over-the-counter and professional whitening gels cannot penetrate heavy plaque or tartar.
If you have extrinsic (surface) stains from tea, coffee, or smoking, our Plymouth dental hygienist will need to thoroughly scale and polish your teeth first. This ensures the whitening gel works evenly across your natural enamel for the best possible colour.
Can I just use over-the-counter whitening strips instead of seeing a dentist?
By UK law, only dental professionals can provide products with the chemical strength required to permanently change the colour of your teeth.
Over-the-counter strips and whitening toothpastes are generally only effective at lifting very slight surface stains.
For deeper, intrinsic yellowing, you need the prescription-strength whitening treatments safely administered by our cosmetic dentist.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients do experience temporary tooth sensitivity during the whitening process.
Because our treatments are professionally supervised by our Principal Dentist, Dr Lenore Bronkhorst, we can carefully manage the concentration of the whitening gel and provide desensitising advice to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible.
How long will my professional teeth whitening results last?
The longevity of your bright new smile depends heavily on your diet and lifestyle. Consuming highly pigmented foods and drinks, such as red wine, coffee, and curries, or smoking cigarettes, will gradually introduce new surface stains.
Maintaining excellent daily oral hygiene and booking regular scale-and-polish appointments with our Plymouth dental hygienist will help prolong your whitening results.
Do I need a referral to book a teeth whitening consultation?
No referral is required. We warmly welcome new private patients from across Britain’s Ocean City and the wider South West peninsula.
Your first step is to book a comprehensive examination with our team, during which we will assess your oral health, listen to your cosmetic goals, and create a fully customised whitening plan.
