Achieve a dazzling smile with Philips Zoom! home teeth whitening in Wimbledon!
Are you dreaming of a brighter, more confident smile? At Augustus Road Dental Practice, we understand the power of a radiant smile. If you’re looking for an effective and convenient way to brighten your teeth, our professional Philips Zoom! home teeth whitening system could be the perfect solution for you right here in Wimbledon!
Professional teeth whitening for a brighter smile
Over time, our teeth can become stained and discoloured due to various factors like coffee, tea, red wine, certain foods, and even age. While many over-the-counter products promise results, professional teeth whitening offers a safe, more effective, and predictable way to achieve truly noticeable brightness. With Philips Zoom!, you can achieve a significantly whiter smile from the comfort of your own home, all under the expert guidance of our dentist in Wimbledon.
How whitening treatments work
Philips Zoom! Home teeth whitening works by using a powerful yet safe whitening gel. This gel contains active ingredients that penetrate the enamel of your teeth, breaking down the discoloured molecules that cause stains. As these molecules are broken down, your teeth appear whiter and brighter. The beauty of the home kit is that it allows you to control the whitening process, achieving your desired shade gradually and comfortably.
If you want to improve your dull, discoloured teeth, whitening can really help brighten up your smile. Phillips Zoom! whitening offers professional results with little or no sensitivity.
Why choose professional teeth whitening?
While you might be tempted by readily available over-the-counter options, choosing professional teeth whitening offers significant advantages:
- Superior Results: Professional-grade whitening gels are stronger and more effective than those found in shop-bought kits, leading to more dramatic and lasting results.
- Safety & Supervision: With a professional system like Philips Zoom!, your treatment is supervised by us. This ensures the process is safe for your teeth and gums, minimising sensitivity and avoiding potential damage.
- Customised Treatment: Unlike one-size-fits-all products, our professional approach allows for a bespoke solution tailored to your unique needs and desired shade.
- Reduced Sensitivity: Professional systems are designed to minimise sensitivity, making the whitening experience more comfortable.
- Longer-Lasting Results: When guided by a professional and maintained properly, the results from professional whitening tend to last longer than those achieved with over-the-counter products.

What does teeth whitening treatment involve?
Getting a brighter smile with Philips Zoom! home whitening at Augustus Road Dental Practice is a straightforward and convenient process:
- Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation at our practice. We will assess your oral health, discuss your smile goals, and determine if teeth whitening is suitable for you. We’ll explain the Philips Zoom! home system in detail.
- Custom Tray Creation: If suitable, we will take precise impressions of your teeth. These impressions are then used to create custom-fitted, clear mouth trays that perfectly fit your unique dental arch. These bespoke trays are crucial for ensuring the whitening gel stays in contact with your teeth and prevents it from irritating your gums.
- Dispensing Whitening Kit & Instructions: You’ll receive your Philips Zoom! home whitening kit, which includes your custom trays and professional-grade whitening gel. Our team will provide clear, detailed instructions on how to use the kit effectively and safely at home. We’ll advise you on the concentration of the gel and the recommended wear time each day.
- At-Home Whitening: You’ll apply a small amount of the whitening gel into your custom trays and wear them for the recommended duration each day, usually for a specific number of hours or overnight. You’ll gradually notice your teeth becoming whiter over a period of days or weeks, depending on the initial shade of your teeth and your desired level of brightness.
- Follow-Up: We’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to check your progress and ensure you’re happy with your new, brighter smile!
Although this treatment is carried out at home, we still keep a close eye on your teeth to lessen any gum irritation and tooth sensitivity.
Please note, teeth whitening will only work on natural teeth and will not be effective on restorations such as crowns, veneers, or dentures.
Tips for maintaining your teeth whitening results
To keep your newly brightened smile dazzling for as long as possible, consider these helpful tips:
Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily to prevent new stains from forming.
Limit Staining Foods & Drinks: Reduce your consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, dark berries, and highly pigmented foods. If you do consume them, rinse your mouth with water afterward.
Use a Whitening Toothpaste: Incorporate a non-abrasive whitening toothpaste into your routine to help maintain brightness.
Regular Dental Check-ups: Continue with your routine dental check-ups and professional cleanings at our friendly dental practice. These appointments help remove surface stains and keep your teeth healthy.
Touch-Up Treatments: Discuss periodic touch-up treatments with us. Your custom trays can be used for future touch-ups to refresh your smile as needed.

Frequently asked questions
Will whitening work on crowns or fillings?
Teeth whitening treatment is not effective on dental restorations such as veneers, crowns, dentures, or bridges. You may find that these are a different shade to your natural teeth once you have had whitening treatment, so you may wish to whiten your teeth before they are placed, if possible. Your veneers or crowns can be replaced to match the new colour of your teeth, at an additional cost. Please talk to us about your options.
How long does teeth whitening last?
The custom trays can be reused for future touch-ups as needed. However, the longevity of whitening results depends on individual habits such as diet, oral hygiene, and lifestyle choices. Avoiding foods and beverages that stain teeth, such as coffee and red wine, and maintaining good oral hygiene practices will help extend the longevity of your whitened smile. Periodic touch-ups, as recommended by your dentist, can also help preserve the results over time.
Does teeth whitening hurt?
No, teeth whitening treatment does not hurt at all. The procedure is non-invasive and we take a gentle and careful approach. You may experience some sensitivity in your teeth, but this is temporary.
How much does teeth whitening cost?
We use Phillips Zoom! Home teeth whitening, which is a recognised, high-quality teeth whitening treatment. Our bespoke trays and treatment system costs from £399. Book a consultation with our friendly team today and we can book you an appointment to find out more.
