Teeth Whitening
At Castle View Dental Surgery in Durham, we know how much a bright, radiant smile can boost your confidence. Our professional teeth whitening treatments are designed to safely remove stains and lighten the shade of your teeth, helping you smile with pride. Whether it’s years of coffee, tea, or natural ageing, we can help you achieve a noticeably whiter smile in as little as one appointment.
About the Treatment
Over time, teeth naturally darken due to ageing, certain foods and drinks, smoking, or medications. These stains often lie deep within the enamel, making over-the-counter whitening products less effective.
Professional teeth whitening at Castle View Dental Surgery offers a clinically proven, safe, and effective solution to lift surface and deep stains without damaging your enamel.
We provide both in-surgery teeth whitening in Durham for instant results and take-home whitening kits for gradual improvement at your own pace. Patients often search for phrases like “laser teeth whitening Durham”, “whitening dentist near me”, and “best teeth whitening Durham” — our clinic offers solutions tailored to suit every smile and lifestyle.
Types of Teeth Whitening
In-Surgery Whitening
Ideal for those looking for immediate results, this procedure is performed by our dental team using advanced whitening technology. A protective gel shields your gums while a professional-strength whitening agent is applied to the teeth to break down stains quickly and safely.
Take-Home Whitening Kits
Perfect for patients who prefer gradual whitening in the comfort of their own home. We create custom-fitted trays and provide professional whitening gel with clear instructions for safe use over 1–2 weeks.
