A brighter smile is one of the most impactful and immediate changes you can make to your appearance, and right now, there’s never been a better time to do it at Chatham Dental.
This May, new patients who book and complete an initial consultation receive a €50 credit towards professional teeth whitening. If you’ve been thinking about it, this is your sign to stop thinking and start booking.
But before you do, here’s everything you need to know: what professional whitening involves, what it costs, what’s included, and why a dentist-led approach delivers results that no supermarket kit ever will.
Professional teeth whitening is a dentist-supervised treatment that uses clinically approved whitening gel to safely lift stains and brighten the natural colour of your teeth.
It’s not the same as whitening toothpastes, strips, or the kits you’ll find in a pharmacy, and the difference in both safety and results is substantial.
At Chatham Dental, teeth whitening is carried out using a professional take-home system. Rather than an in-chair procedure, you’re fitted with custom-made trays and provided with dentist-approved whitening gel to use at home over a prescribed period.
The result is gradual, controlled, and natural-looking, which is precisely what makes it so effective.
The most common causes of tooth discolouration that whitening addresses include:
If your teeth have lost their brightness due to any of the above, professional teeth whitening is the most reliable and safest way to restore them.
This is where the value of a dentist-led approach becomes very clear.
Professional teeth whitening at Chatham Dental isn’t just a tray and a tube of gel; it’s a complete, supported treatment from assessment to aftercare.
Here’s what every patient receives:
Before anything else, your clinician assesses your current tooth shade, checks for sensitivity or decay, and confirms if whitening is appropriate for your teeth. This step protects both your results and your enamel.
Your trays are made precisely to the shape of your teeth, ensuring even contact with the whitening gel and minimising the risk of irritation to your gums. This is one of the clearest points of difference between professional and over-the-counter teeth whitening; generic trays from over-the-counter kits simply can’t replicate this.
Dentist-approved gel at a clinically calibrated concentration that is effective enough to deliver results and controlled enough to be safe for your enamel.
You’ll be shown exactly how to apply the gel, how long to wear the trays each day, and how to manage any temporary sensitivity during treatment.
Removing surface plaque and tartar before whitening allows the gel to work more effectively and evenly across your teeth.
Your clinician reviews your progress and can provide top-up gel to help you maintain and extend your results over time.
Practical and personalised advice on foods, drinks, habits, and hygiene techniques to keep your smile bright long after treatment is complete.
Teeth whitening at Chatham Dental is priced at €275 for the full professional take-home treatment. Custom trays, professional gel, full assessment, and aftercare are all included.
With the May new patient offer, the price reduces to €225 after your €50 credit is applied, making this one of the best moments to book if you’ve been considering it.
To put that in context: over-the-counter teeth whitening kits range from €20 to €100 but deliver inconsistent results, carry a higher risk of sensitivity, and don’t include any professional assessment, custom-fit trays, or follow-up.
When you factor in the quality of results and the safety of a dentist-supervised approach, the value of professional teeth whitening is clear.
Results vary depending on the starting shade of your teeth, the cause of discolouration, and how consistently you use your trays at home.
That said, most patients at Chatham Dental notice a meaningful difference within the first one to two weeks of use, with optimal results typically achieved after two to four weeks of regular treatment.
What professional teeth whitening delivers that alternatives can’t is consistency and predictability. Because your trays are custom-fitted and your gel concentration is clinically calibrated, the whitening is even across all teeth: no patchy results, no missed spots, and no uneven brightness that looks artificial.
Results are also long-lasting when maintained correctly. Most patients find their results hold well for 12 to 24 months. Occasional top-up gel, available from Chatham Dental, extends that further without the need for a full repeat treatment.
Getting started with teeth whitening at Chatham Dental and claiming your €50 May credit is pretty straightforward:
Use the online booking portal to secure your appointment. Remember, your consultation must be completed before 31 May to qualify for the offer.
Your dentist will carry out a full assessment, confirm your suitability for teeth whitening, and discuss your smile goals. This is also a great opportunity to ask any questions about the treatment.
Once your consultation is complete, you can redeem your teeth whitening credit within 60 days. Your clinician will walk you through your teeth whitening treatment plan and next steps.
At a follow-up appointment, you’ll receive your custom trays, professional gel, and a full walkthrough of how to use them at home.
Most patients notice visible brightening within the first week. Your team at Chatham Dental is available throughout to answer questions and monitor your progress.
Yes.
When carried out under a dentist’s supervision using clinically approved products, teeth whitening is a safe and well-established cosmetic treatment. At Chatham Dental, every patient is assessed for suitability before treatment begins. The most common side effect is sensitivity, which usually resolves within a day or two of finishing treatment.
Professional teeth whitening.
Professional teeth whitening wins on every measure that matters: safety, consistency, and results. Over-the-counter kits use lower concentrations of whitening agents, which limits their effectiveness, and generic trays increase the risk of gel leaking onto gums and causing irritation.
1 to 3 years, with good maintenance.
Avoiding heavily pigmented foods and drinks immediately after treatment, maintaining a consistent oral hygiene routine, and using occasional top-up gel will all extend your results. Your Chatham Dental clinician will give you personalised aftercare guidance as part of your treatment.
Top-up whitening gel, available from Chatham Dental, is also a simple and cost-effective way to maintain brightness.
Yes, in many cases, teeth whitening can still be carried out safely. Your clinician may recommend a lower concentration gel, shorter application times, or a sensitive-formula gel to manage it. The key is the assessment stage: your dentist will evaluate your sensitivity levels before recommending any treatment, so you’ll never be advised to proceed if it isn’t appropriate for you.
Absolutely. In fact, combining the two treatments is one of the most popular smile transformations we see. Invisalign straightens and aligns your teeth over the course of your treatment, and teeth whitening is then used to finish the transformation with a brighter, more even shade. At Chatham Dental, free teeth whitening worth €275 is included with Invisalign treatment, making it a cost-effective combination for patients wanting a complete result.
No, teeth whitening is not suitable for patients with untreated decay, active gum disease, or certain types of restorations such as crowns or veneers, as whitening gel does not affect artificial materials. Pregnant or breastfeeding patients are also advised to wait. This is exactly why the assessment stage matters. Your clinician will confirm suitability before any treatment is recommended. And if teeth whitening isn’t appropriate right now, they’ll advise on what needs to be addressed first.
Teeth whitening at Chatham Dental is priced at €275, reduced to €225 with the May new patient offer. For patients combining teeth whitening with a larger treatment plan, such as Invisalign, finance options (including 0% interest-free plans) are available. Speak to our team at your consultation to discuss what works best for your situation.
May is the perfect time to take the step you’ve been putting off.
A brighter smile is one of the simplest and most effective ways to feel more confident, and right now, new patients at Chatham Dental can get started with €50 towards making it happen.
