Teeth Whitening Glasgow
At Michael Kelly Dentistry, we offer professional teeth whitening in Glasgow that lets you safely brighten your smile in your own time.
We offer at-home whitening kits. They are prescribed and overseen by qualified, GDC-registered dentists to ensure comfortable, safe, and effective treatments.
Teeth Whitening with Michael Kelly Dentistry
Various lifestyle habits can leave a mark on your teeth. Drinks like tea, coffee, and wine, as well as certain foods and smoking, can all cause surface stains and tooth discolouration. Even with regular brushing, teeth naturally darken over time.
Professional whitening is an easy way to reverse discolouration and restore your smile. Whiter teeth can improve your appearance and help you feel more confident day to day.
Our at-home whitening kits typically deliver professional results without the need for in-clinic teeth whitening. Each kit is designed around you, using custom-fitted trays to whiten teeth.
How Our At-Home Teeth Whitening Works
Here is what to expect when you start teeth whitening treatment with us.
During the initial consultation, your dentist will evaluate your teeth and gums to make sure whitening is suitable for you.
We use advanced scanning technology to create a precise 3D image of your teeth. This allows us to design whitening trays that fit you perfectly without the need for traditional moulds.
You will receive your custom-fitted trays and whitening gel along with clear instructions on how to use them safely at home. You will wear the trays at home for a set period each day, usually for 1-2 weeks.
We will check in to ensure your treatment is going smoothly and to answer any questions. Because the gel is supplied under dental supervision, you will get better, more even results than with home remedies or shop-bought products. There is also a lower risk of sensitivity or damage to your teeth.

Are Teeth Whitening Treatments Safe?
Yes, teeth whitening treatments are completely safe under a dentist’s care. The products we use are approved for dental use and contain the appropriate amount of whitening agent for effective and controlled results.
Some people may notice mild sensitivity, but this usually settles within a few days. We can also advise you on how to keep your teeth comfortable throughout treatment.

How does teeth whitening work?
At-home teeth whitening uses hydrogen peroxide to gently break down stains within the enamel. The teeth whitening procedure works gradually over several applications, safely brightening your smile while being gentle on your teeth and gums.
Will whitening damage my teeth?
No. The gel we provide is considered safe for your tooth enamel when used as directed under dental supervision.
Is whitening suitable for everyone?
Whitening works best on natural teeth. If you have crowns, veneers, or fillings at the front of your mouth, your dentist will explain what results to expect.
How white will my teeth get?
Most people see their teeth become several shades lighter. We aim for even stain removal with a natural, healthy brightness rather than an artificial look.
Can I whiten sensitive teeth?
Yes, you can use our whitening kits on sensitive discoloured teeth. We can offer advice and adjust your treatment to ensure your safety and comfort.
