A brighter smile, safely and professionally
Your brighter smile starts with professional whitening
Dull or Discoloured Teeth? Professional Whitening Can Help
Everyday things like tea, coffee, red wine and smoking can gradually dull your smile, and over-the-counter kits often fall short of real results. Professional whitening, carried out under a dentist's supervision, offers a safe and effective way to brighten your teeth.
A custom-fitted tray is made for your teeth, along with a professional-strength whitening gel that you use at home over a period of two to four weeks, gradually lifting years of staining.
We welcome teeth whitening patients from Hilton Dental Care, Perham Down, Shipton Bellinger, Ludgershall, Collingbourne Ducis and Cholderton, all just a short drive from our practice on Station Road.

Professional whitening or home remedies?
Here are five differences worth knowing before you decide. We'll talk through your options at your consultation, including how to get a safe, long-lasting result.
At Hilton Dental Care Dental, our approachable team can discuss all the benefits of professional whitening including:
01
Professional whitening is carried out under dental supervision, so the strength and fit of your trays are matched safely to your teeth and gums.
02
Over-the-counter kits use lower-strength gel and generic trays, often giving patchy or limited results compared with a professional treatment.
03
Many patients from Ludgershall and Perham Down prefer whitening at home in their own time, using custom trays that fit their teeth precisely.
04
Results are longer-lasting than home remedies, and top-up gel can be used whenever you want to refresh your smile.
05
Every case is checked first to rule out sensitivity issues or untreated decay before whitening begins.
Is teeth whitening right for you?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums can have professional whitening. A few things need checking first, and we'd rather tell you at the consultation than partway through.

FAQs
Does teeth whitening hurt?
Some patients experience mild, temporary sensitivity to hot or cold during treatment, which usually settles quickly once whitening is complete.
How long does teeth whitening take?
Most patients see results within two to four weeks of home whitening, depending on their starting shade and desired result.
Is teeth whitening available on the NHS?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment and is not available on the NHS.
How long do whitening results last?
Results can last from several months to a couple of years, depending on your diet and habits. Top-up gel can help maintain your shade.
Will whitening work on crowns or veneers?
No, whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, so existing crowns, veneers or fillings won't change colour.
Do you treat patients outside Hilton Dental Care?
Yes, we regularly see patients travelling from Perham Down, Shipton Bellinger, Ludgershall, Collingbourne Ducis and Cholderton, all within a short drive of our Station Road practice.
