“Been putting off going to the dentist for longer then I'd like to admit but felt so much better and instantly felt that I made the right choice when I came to Azure. Super friendly, professional and modern service, they were so transparent and helpful and gave me all the right advice and recommendations for future work to be done.

Kimberley Marshall
“I have already been to Azure twice in the 2 weeks it has been open and I've been super impressed. My first appointment was a general check up and clean with Maheer which was super easy, he was gentle and caused me no discomfort, I got to just lay back and enjoy Netflix on the roof mounted TV (nice touch). We got chatting at the end about some staining on my teeth and decided to book in a whitening session which I went back for today. Another good experience with Maheer, he was very attentive and the knowledge he shared with his dental assistant was fantastic. Great team with a really positive atmosphere. Highly recommend!” Read More

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to frequently asked questions about take-home whitening kits, including their application, benefits, and what results you can anticipate.
Are take-home whitening kits safe for my teeth and gums?
Take-home whitening kits allow you to brighten your smile conveniently at home. They are generally safe for your teeth and gums for the following reasons:
- Professional teeth supervision:
Take-home teeth whitening kits recommended by your dentist offer greater safety than over-the-counter options. Dentists assess your oral health, checking for issues like cavities or gum disease before starting treatment. This lowers the risk of irritation or harm, creating a safer and more comfortable whitening experience. - Professional dental-grade whitening gel:
These kits contain dentist-quality whitening gel, which is effective and safe when used as directed. Unlike over-the-counter products, the whitening gels in professional kits are often customised to suit your teeth and gum sensitivity. The concentration of whitening agents, such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, is carefully calibrated to provide results without causing damage. - Custom-fitted trays:
Many take-home whitening kits provided by dentists come with custom-fitted whitening trays moulded to fit the unique shape of your teeth. This allows for an even application of the whitening gel and prevents it from leaking onto the gums. As a result, the risk of irritation or chemical burns, which can occur with poorly fitted trays, is reduced. - Controlled application time:
Overusing or leaving the gel on longer than advised can lead to tooth sensitivity or enamel damage. Take-home whitening kits from professionals include detailed instructions on application time to achieve the desired results without risking overexposure. - Lower risk of sensitivity:
With at-home teeth whitening methods, the teeth whitening process is more gradual than in-office whitening. This allows your teeth to adjust over time, minimising the chances of heightened sensitivity, especially for naturally sensitive teeth. - Post-treatment care advice:
Dentists provide personalised instructions when using a professional take-home whitening kit. They may advise avoiding certain foods and beverages, like berries and coffee, which can stain the teeth. They may also recommend products like desensitising toothpaste if you experience sensitivity.
When used right, custom take-home teeth whitening kits can deliver a whiter smile without compromising your oral health.
Do I need a dental consultation before using a take-home whitening kit?
Before using a take-home whitening kit, it’s important to consult a dental professional. Here’s why:
- Assess Overall Oral Health:
A dental check-up can identify issues like cavities or gum disease that may require treatment before using a whitening kit. Whitening can aggravate these conditions, leading to discomfort or further complications. - Determine Suitability for Whitening:
A consultation helps assess whether a whitening kit is the right option for you. For instance, individuals with very sensitive teeth, worn enamel, or severe tooth discolouration might require alternative treatments. - Custom Whitening Trays for Better Results:
Dentists can provide custom-made whitening trays that fit your teeth properly. This allows for the even application of the whitening gel and reduces the risk of irritation or leakage into the gums. - Professional Advice on Whitening Products:
With many over-the-counter whitening kits available, it can be challenging to choose the right one. A dental professional can recommend products that are both effective and safe, tailored to your oral health condition.
How do take-home whitening kits compare to in-chair whitening treatments?
Take-home whitening kits and in-chair whitening treatments are popular options for achieving a brighter smile. Each has its set of advantages and limitations:
- Similarities:
- Whitening Goal:
Both take-home kits and in-chair treatments aim to whiten teeth by reducing stains and discolouration. They use a similar type of peroxide-based whitening gel to achieve this. - Professional Supervision:
Both treatments, when provided by a dental professional, come with guidance and monitoring for safety and effectiveness. - Safety:
When used as directed, both methods are safe and do not cause harm to tooth enamel. Sensitivity management is also addressed in both cases by using specific desensitising products when needed.
- Whitening Goal:
- Differences:
- Speed of Results:
In-chair whitening treatments usually provide faster results, often noticeable after a single session. In contrast, results from at-home teeth whitening may be achieved after several weeks of consistent use. - Concentration of Whitening Gel:
In-chair treatments use a higher concentration of whitening gel, leading to quicker and more intense whitening. On the other hand, take-home kits have a lower concentration, making the process slower but more gradual. - Convenience:
At-home teeth whitening methods offer the flexibility to whiten your teeth at your pace and in the comfort of your home. In-chair treatments, meanwhile, require a visit to the dentist but take less time overall. - Cost:
In-chair whitening treatments tend to cost more due to the professional equipment and time required. In comparison, take-home kits are usually more affordable but may require more time and patience to achieve the same results.
- Speed of Results:
Understanding these similarities and differences allows you to choose the option that fits your lifestyle, budget, and whitening goals.
Can I use take-home whitening kits if I have sensitive teeth?
If you have sensitive teeth, using take-home whitening kits is still possible. However, extra care is needed to prevent discomfort. Here’s what to consider before starting:
- Consult a Dental Professional:
Speak to a dentist before using a whitening kit if you have sensitive teeth. They can assess your oral health and recommend appropriate products that are less likely to aggravate sensitivity. - Choose Lower-Strength Whitening Gels:
Some whitening kits are designed specifically for sensitive teeth, using lower concentrations of the whitening agent. This helps minimise the risk of increased sensitivity while still achieving noticeable results. - Use Desensitising Products:
Incorporate desensitising toothpaste or fluoride gels into your daily routine before and during the whitening process to reduce discomfort. - Follow the Recommended Application Time:
Avoid leaving the whitening gel on longer than recommended, as overuse can heighten sensitivity. Stick to the whitening kit usage guidelines provided by your dentist.
How long does it take to see results with take-home whitening kits?
Results from at-home teeth whitening usually show within one to two weeks. The speed of results can vary based on several factors:
- Concentration of Whitening Gel:
Kits with a higher concentration of the active ingredient, such as hydrogen peroxide, tend to produce faster results. However, these may not always be suitable for sensitive teeth. - Frequency of Use:
The recommended frequency can affect how soon you see changes. Some kits are designed for daily use, while others may be used only a few times per week. - Starting Shade of Teeth:
People with lighter shades of teeth may notice changes sooner. However, those with darker stains or discolouration may take longer to achieve visible results. - Lifestyle Habits:
Consumption of staining foods and beverages like berries, coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking can slow down the whitening process. Avoiding these habits during treatment can help you see results faster. - Consistency in Application:
Proper and consistent use of the whitening kit provides even whitening and more predictable results.
Are take-home whitening kits effective on all types of tooth stains?
Take-home whitening kits can be effective on many types of tooth stains. However, their success depends on the nature and cause of the discolouration:
- Surface Stains (Extrinsic Stains):
These stains occur on the outer layer of the teeth. They are often caused by drinks like coffee or tea and smoking. Take-home whitening kits are generally very effective in addressing these because the whitening gel can break down discolouration on the enamel. - Age-Related Stains:
As we age, teeth naturally become darker due to changes in the enamel and dentine. Take-home whitening kits can help lighten age-related stains to some extent. However, the results may be less dramatic than surface stains because age-related changes affect the tooth structure more deeply. - Medication-Induced Stains (Intrinsic Stains):
Stains caused by medications can be intrinsic and form within the tooth. At-home teeth whitening methods may have limited effectiveness on these stains, as the discolouration is internal and harder to reach. More advanced treatments, such as professional in-chair whitening or veneers, might be required. - Trauma-Related Stains:
Tooth discolouration due to injury or trauma can also be intrinsic. Since these stains originate from within the tooth, take-home kits are unlikely to be very effective. A dental professional can recommend alternative treatments to address this issue.
How long do the results of take-home whitening last?
The results of take-home whitening kits can last one to three years, depending on lifestyle and oral care habits. Here are several ways to keep your smile brighter for longer:
- Maintain Good Oral Hygiene:
Brush and floss regularly. This prevents plaque buildup, protects your teeth from new stains and preserves the whitening effect. - Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks:
Limit consumption of foods and beverages that are known to stain teeth, such as berries, coffee, tea, and red wine. - Quit Smoking:
Smoking is a significant cause of tooth discolouration. Quitting can not only improve your overall oral health but also help maintain your teeth’s whiteness. - Use Whitening Toothpaste:
Incorporating whitening toothpaste into your daily routine can help remove surface stains. It also extends the results from at-home teeth whitening treatments. - Schedule Regular Dental Cleanings:
Professional cleanings remove plaque and eliminate surface stains that can dull your whitening results.
How often can I use a take-home whitening kit?
The frequency of using a take-home whitening kit depends on the product’s instructions and your dental needs. Here are some guidelines on whitening kit usage:
- Initial Whitening Period:
Many kits are designed for daily use over one to two weeks or as your dentist advises. Always follow the recommended application times and frequency for safe and effective results. - Maintenance Applications:
After the initial treatment, you can use the kit for touch-ups every few months or as needed to maintain your results. Usually, using it once every four to six months helps maintain whiteness without overexposure. - Consult Your Dentist:
If you have questions about whitening kit usage, consult a dentist for guidance. They can help develop a schedule that’s safe for your teeth and gums, especially if you experience sensitivity.
