Teeth Whitening in Pimlico & Victoria
Whiter teeth, happier smiles!
Teeth Whitening at a Glance
Teeth whitening treatments in Pimlico and Victoria London can help restore brightness and confidence to your smile. If your teeth look dull or yellowed, professional whitening offers a quick and safe way to revitalise them — perfect before a special occasion or simply for everyday confidence. At McKennell Dental Practice(Smile 4 U), we provide gentle, effective whitening options tailored to achieve naturally brighter, healthier-looking results.
Understanding Teeth Whitening Treatments
Teeth whitening, also known as dental bleaching, is a cosmetic treatment that gently breaks down and removes surface stains and deeper discolouration caused by food, drinks, or ageing. Using clinically approved whitening gels activated under controlled conditions, it restores a brighter, more radiant smile safely and effectively — offering longer-lasting, natural-looking results.
Do You Need Teeth Whitening?
Most adults and teenagers are suitable candidates for teeth whitening treatments in the following situations:
• Stains caused by tea, coffee, red wine, tobacco, or certain foods.
• Yellowing or dullness associated with ageing.
• Mild fluorosis that appears as white or brown marks on the teeth.
It’s essential that your mouth is healthy before treatment. Any decay or gum issues should be addressed first. For deeper discolouration that whitening cannot remove, dental veneers or crowns may provide a more effective solution.
Types of Teeth Whitening?
At McKennell Dental Practice (Smile 4 U), we offer a range of teeth-whitening options to suit your lifestyle and goals:
- In-Office Whitening: Professional teeth whitening can usually be completed in a single visit. During the procedure, a protective gel is applied to your gums to minimise sensitivity while a high-grade whitening solution and specialised light are used to lift stains and brighten your smile effectively.
- Take-Home Whitening Kits: For those who prefer whitening at their own pace, we offer custom-made whitening trays with a dentist-approved gel designed to be both gentle and effective for safe at-home use.
- Combination Whitening: To achieve optimal whitening results, we often suggest combining in-practice and home treatments — begin with a professional session for instant brightness, followed by at-home top-ups to maintain a lasting, radiant smile.
We regularly provide consultations and teeth whitening treatments to patients from Victoria, Pimlico, and Westminster.

What Our Patients Say
I was anxious about the removal of a molar with old root canal treatment but I need not have worried. Dr Lucie Savatier and her assistant were brilliant and so kind. I was concerned when the practice changed ownership but I am more than happy with the very high standard of care by Dr Lucie. Many thanks.
Ask for Dr Shima, the professional, gentle and kind dentist who restored my teeth. I am so grateful that I found you; can’t thank you enough.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Find the answers to the most commonly asked questions regarding the treatment below:
How long does teeth whitening last?
Proper oral hygiene and a reduction in stain-causing foods and beverages can extend the tooth-whitening results for a year or more. After that, touch-ups may be necessary.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients may notice slight sensitivity after whitening, but it typically fades within a few days. Our dentists use advanced whitening gels formulated to minimise discomfort and can adjust the gel concentration to ensure a comfortable, gentle experience throughout your treatment.
Is professional teeth whitening better than shop-bought kits?
Yes. Professional whitening uses dentist-approved gels that safely deliver stronger, longer-lasting results. Over-the-counter kits are weaker and can cause uneven whitening or gum irritation if misused.
The Treatment Process
Every patient’s experience is unique, but this is what you can expect when you start treatment with the Smile 4 U Dental Practice.

We begin by examining your teeth, gums, and current shade, then discuss your whitening goals, expected results, and costs. You’ll also receive guidance on preparation and aftercare for the best outcome.
Process
Your in-practice whitening session lasts about 45–60 minutes. We ensure you remain relaxed throughout as the whitening gel and specialised light gently lift stains and brighten your smile.

After treatment, we explain post-whitening care and food precautions, then arrange follow-up visits if needed. You’ll leave with a noticeably brighter, healthier-looking smile that feels refreshed and confident.
