Your Teeth Whitening Journey
1. Dental Assessment
The first step on your treatment journey with Dental Smiles Chelmsford is an in-depth consultation. It helps us to assess your teeth, allows us to look over your dental history, and ensures you can discuss your teeth whitening treatment in advance.
2. 3D scan of your teeth
We will use our advanced 3D itero scanner to digitally capture the structure of the teeth and gums so we can provide you with custom-fitted whitening trays.
3. Fit Custom Whitening Trays
We will fit the custom trays that are used to apply bleaching gel to the teeth.
4. Instructions for use
‘Home whitening’ is the most effective form of whitening treatment. We’ll give you instructions on how to apply bleaching gel to the teeth, so that you can use it every night or day for 3-4 weeks.
5. 90 minutes a day or overnight
We offer both daytime and night-time whitening depending on your preference. Whiten during the day for just 90 minutes or use our overnight gel. The results look at their best for 2-3 years and it can be easily topped up whenever you feel the need – further whitening gel can be bought as a top-up.
Why choose teeth whitening?
Teeth can become dull or stained over time. Teeth whitening is a quick fix that can boost your smile’s brightness by up to six shades, leaving your smile lighter once more.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a fast, effective way to cosmetically brighten and enhance your smile – we offer an at-home treatment that can flex around your busy schedule. While long-lasting, it’s not necessarily a permanent solution, especially if you have a diet or lifestyle that leaves you susceptible to staining e.g. drinking coffee or red wine; smoking; poor oral routine.
In some cases, teeth whitening can cause short-term sensitivity, but this should pass. While most people are happy with their results, it is possible for your smile to look ‘too white’ or unnatural, which is why we will always guide you with your treatment. Please note, it won’t whiten existing fillings or crowns on the teeth.
Are there any risks?
The biggest risks come from using an off-the-shelf product or by visiting someone illegally carrying out the treatment (i.e. someone who is not a dentist or dental professional). At best, you may have irregularity with the whitening, and at worst, you could cause severe sensitivity or damage to the teeth (including tooth loss).

Teeth Whitening Three Step Process
Step 1: Consultation and Scan
Your first visit is to really understand what you want to achieve and check that your mouth is healthy. We take a 3D scan of your teeth and send it to our labs. They will then create retainer trays of your teeth.
Step 2: Fit your custom Whitening Trays
2 -3 weeks later we will get you custom retainer trays back. In this next appointment we will check that they fit correctly then run through the instructions to use the whitening gel.
We have three different strengths (6%, 10% and 16%) to help you get your desired colour and each tin has 4 tubes for you to work through.
Step 3: Home Whitening
Now you have all the gear, you can whiten your teeth at home, during the day or night, until you have the shade of white you like.
The tubes of whitening last for a year so you can always top up with any left overs or come back in to buy more.
