Method. In-surgery (in-chair) whitening delivers faster results and costs more; take-home tray kits work gradually over 2–3 weeks.
System. Branded systems such as Enlighten or Zoom cost more than standard tray whitening.
Products used by dentists contain up to 6% hydrogen peroxide — far stronger than anything sold legally over the counter. Whitening by a non-registered provider is illegal in the UK and risks gum and enamel damage.
Results typically last 6 months to 2 years depending on diet and habits. Top-up treatments maintain the effect.
