TOOTH WHITENING
N CARDIFF

Whiten your teeth
in Cardiff and South Wales

Tooth whitening is one of the simplest and most effective ways to enhance a smile — when it is done properly. We use Enlighten tooth whitening which is widely regarded as the gold standard in professional whitening, offering predictable, long-lasting results with minimal sensitivity.

 

At the South Wales Specialist Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Centre, Enlighten whitening is provided as a carefully supervised treatment, planned to achieve the lightest natural tooth shade while protecting long-term tooth health.

What Is Enlighten Tooth Whitening?

Enlighten Tooth Whitening is a professional, dentist-prescribed whitening system designed to lift teeth to their maximum natural whiteness, regardless of starting shade.

 

Unlike over-the-counter products, Enlighten works by:

 

  • Using bespoke trays made specifically for your teeth

  • Applying controlled concentrations of whitening gel

  • Gradually whitening teeth from within, rather than aggressively bleaching the surface

 

The result is a bright, natural smile without the opaque or artificial appearance sometimes associated with whitening.

A Conservative, Health-Led Approach

At the South Wales Specialist Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Centre, whitening is never treated as a cosmetic shortcut. We carefully assess:

 

  • Tooth and gum health

  • Existing restorations

  • Sensitivity risk

  • Overall smile goals

 

Where appropriate, whitening may form part of a wider smile plan or be carried out before treatments such as composite bonding or veneers, allowing restorations to be matched accurately to your final tooth colour.

How The Enlighten Tooth Whitening Process Works...

  1. Consultation & assessment with Dr Richard Field
    He will assess suitability, discuss expectations, and plan your whitening protocol.

  2. Digital scans or impressions
    Bespoke whitening trays are made to fit your teeth precisely.

  3. Home whitening programme (approximately 3 weeks)
    Whitening is carried out entirely at home using Enlighten’s gradually increasing gel strengths, designed to maximise results while minimising sensitivity.
    The system includes:

    • A specially formulated desensitising serum for use before, during, and after whitening

    • Targeted “spot pen” application for any areas of localised sensitivity

 

This phased, controlled approach allows teeth to whiten evenly and comfortably, even in patients who have previously experienced sensitivity.

How Long Do the Results Last?

With appropriate maintenance, Enlighten whitening results can last many years. Teeth naturally darken over time, but occasional top-up whitening helps maintain brightness without repeated full treatments.

 

We will advise you on:

  • Simple maintenance routines

  • How often to refresh whitening

  • How whitening fits alongside other cosmetic or restorative treatments

Is Enlighten Tooth Whitening Right for You?

Enlighten whitening is ideal if you:

 

  • Want the brightest natural result possible

  • Have struggled with sensitivity in the past

  • Prefer a dentist-supervised, home-based treatment

  • Are planning composite bonding or veneers

  • Want long-term, maintainable whitening

 

During your consultation, we’ll confirm suitability and explain how Enlighten fits into your overall smile plan.
