Teeth whitening is one of the most straightforward ways to improve how your teeth look. It works by lifting staining and reducing discolouration, so your natural tooth colour appears brighter and more even.
At Ark-G Dental, whitening is carried out using professional systems designed to give a controlled, consistent result. Whether you’re looking for something gradual at home or a quicker change in practice, we’ve got something to suit you.
Teeth whitening uses a safe, controlled gel to break down staining within the enamel. Over time, teeth can become darker due to things like coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, or simply natural ageing. Whitening works by lifting this staining, rather than covering it.

Whitening isn’t always the first step for everyone. We look at:
In some cases, whitening on its own is enough. In others, it works best alongside treatments such as bonding, where the final colour needs to be matched.

I went to see Margarita at the Ark-G dentist and had a 4-tooth denture made and fitted, and I’m so happy with the results. Thank you again.
Ark Dental & Cosmetic centre is the best dentist that I have been to, very clean and hygienic, the staff and dentists are really lovely, polite, helpful, totally organised, there’s a nice calming atmosphere, and they do not rush.
Excellent service from booking appointments to having treatment, all the staff are lovely. I was nervous like most, but the experience I received was nothing short of excellent. My husband was treated at the Crayford branch as well and was very pleased with the service.

This depends on your starting shade and how your teeth respond.
