Stained or yellowed teeth are a very common problem and can leave people feeling self-conscious when smiling or talking. The good news is that the latest advanced treatments mean a beautiful white smile is within easy reach. Teeth whitening is a quick and safe way to refresh and transform your smile, resulting in a healthier, more youthful appearance.
At Horsley Dental, we offer Poladay® and Polanight® Whitening, which are highly effective solutions whether you would like a stunning celebrity smile or just to brighten your smile a few shades for a natural look.
Treatment is pain-free and convenient and results can be seen from the first application.
The Pola products are designed to be used in the convenience of your own home and allow you to choose between whitening in the day or at night.
Poladay® is the faster working of the two, meaning the teeth can be whitened in as little as 30 minutes per day.
Polanight® uses different active ingredients and whitens the teeth more gently, allowing the whitening to be done overnight.
Both the day and night options are pH neutral and contain desensitising agents to minimise discomfort. They also release fluoride to remineralise the surface of the tooth and further protect against sensitivity.
At the initial consultation appointment your dentist will assess if teeth whitening is appropriate for you. The process will be fully explained and you will have the opportunity to discuss the results you would like to achieve and ask any questions you may have.
Impressions will then be taken of your teeth so that your bespoke trays can be created. When these are ready your dentist will show you how to use them and the home whitening process can begin.
Please note that teeth whitening should always be undertaken under the guidance of a professional dentist. Always follow the instructions and advice that your dentist gives you.
To help ensure this treatment is as affordable as possible we ensure our prices are extremely competitive when compared to other teeth whitening prices around Leatherhead. To see our latest teeth whitening prices at Horsley Dental, please visit our fees page.

Professional teeth whitening can noticeably brighten your smile in a short space of time, helping to lift deeper stains that everyday brushing can’t remove. At Horsley Dental, whitening treatment is tailored to each patient, with shade, strength, and timing carefully planned and monitored by your dentist. This allows for even, predictable results while keeping the risk of sensitivity or irritation to a minimum. Many patients choose professional whitening for the reassurance, control, and consistency it offers.
Teeth whitening isn’t usually painful, but some people may experience temporary sensitivity during or shortly after treatment. This can feel like a sharp sensation to hot or cold foods and drinks, but it usually fades within a few days. Any mild gum irritation also tends to settle quickly. Professional whitening is designed to minimise discomfort while still delivering effective results.
Whitening results can last anywhere from several months to a few years, depending on your lifestyle and oral care. Habits such as drinking coffee, tea, red wine or smoking can cause teeth to stain again more quickly. Good daily hygiene and occasional top-ups can help keep your smile brighter for longer.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, a root-canal treated tooth can last many years- often just as long as a natural tooth. Because the nerve has been removed, the tooth can become slightly more fragile over time, so a crown is sometimes recommended to protect it, especially on back teeth. Other than that, no special care is needed beyond brushing, flossing and routine dental visits.
The most common side effect of teeth whitening is temporary sensitivity, especially to hot or cold, and this usually settles within a few days.
Some people may also notice mild gum irritation shortly after treatment. When whitening is carried out professionally, the risks are kept to a minimum. Problems are more likely with unsupervised or DIY whitening products, which can lead to uneven results or irritation if used incorrectly.
Teeth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it doesn’t change the colour of crowns, fillings or veneers. This means that after whitening, existing restorations may appear darker than the surrounding natural teeth. If you have visible restorations, this is usually discussed beforehand so the final result looks balanced and natural.
Teeth whitening is suitable for many people, but it isn’t right for everyone. It may not be recommended if you have very sensitive teeth, untreated decay, gum disease, or a large number of crowns or fillings on visible teeth. A dental check-up before whitening helps make sure the treatment is both safe and likely to give you the result you’re hoping for.
