TEETH WHITENING AT UMI CLINIC
Whether you regularly whiten your teeth to keep your smile bright or would like to treat yourself to a whiter smile for a special occasion, Umi Clinic in Petersfield has the teeth whitening solution to meet your needs.
For teeth whitening at our clinic, located in Petersfield near Guildford and Godalming in Surrey and Havant in Hampshire, we use the White Dental Beauty System.
White Dental Beauty System
- White Dental Beauty is a take-home treatment. First, digital scans are taken of your teeth and sent to the laboratory to create bespoke trays which are similar to mouth guards. This takes about two weeks.
- Once the whitening trays are ready you collect them from our clinic. We will explain the process to you during your visit and give you enough whitening gel to take home for your desired result.
- You will whiten your teeth at home by wearing the trays for a designated amount of time each day, having applied the whitening gel to them first. You do this for approximately one to three weeks.

TEETH WHITENING FAQS
Teeth whitening typically involves the use of bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. These agents break up stains and discoloration within the enamel, resulting in a brighter smile.
When done under the supervision of a dentist using professional-grade products, teeth whitening is considered safe. However, overuse of whitening agents or improper application of products purchased from the internet can lead to increased tooth sensitivity and gum irritation.
The duration of teeth whitening results varies depending on factors such as lifestyle habits and oral hygiene practices. With proper maintenance and occasional touch-ups, results can last anywhere from several months to a few years.
When performed correctly, teeth whitening should not damage enamel. However, excessive or improper use of whitening products can weaken enamel and lead to sensitivity. It’s essential to follow the dentist’s instructions carefully.
Teeth whitening is most effective on extrinsic stains caused by factors like food, drinks, and tobacco. Intrinsic stains, which originate from within the tooth, may be more challenging to remove and may require alternative treatments such as veneers or bonding.
While over-the-counter whitening products can provide some improvement, they are generally less potent and do not deliver the same level of results as professional treatments. Professional whitening options, such as those offered here at Umi Clinic, typically use higher concentrations of bleaching agents and provide custom-fitted trays for optimal effectiveness.
