Teeth Whitening at our Reading whitening suite

As a dental practice we can advise on the most suitable option for your oral health and lifestyle, from in practice laser whitening, smokers stain removal through to home whitening.

If you choose the in practice method, you can put your feet up, watch Netflix or relax to your choice of music.

We also offer Icon White Spot Treatment for patients who have bright white spots on their teeth, as teeth whitening options cannot change the appearance of white spots. Read more here

HOW DOES TEETH WHITENING WORK AT SMILE ROOMS?

FREE CONSULTATION

We'll assess your teeth and talk through what you'd like to achieve.

Together, we'll choose the right treatment for you, whether that's boutique whitening, at-home whitening, or Airflow power stain removal.

TREATMENT

For boutique whitening and at-home whitening, we take an impression to create custom-fitted trays.

You'll wear these with our professional-grade whitening gel at night, gradually brightening your teeth over one to two weeks.

FINALLY

Once your teeth have reached the desired shade, a final appointment at our Reading clinic completes your treatment.

You'll leave with a brighter, more confident smile, with Enlighten offering a guaranteed B1 shade.

What Our Patients Say

Katie Hodder

I am so glad I found Reading Smiles! I’ve been seeing Dr Mo for the past three years and couldn’t recommend him highly enough. I have been consistently impressed with the level of care I receive.

Caron Walker

Dr Sham is absolutely lovely! She really listened to my concerns and talked me through the best options, allowing me to decide what felt right. My teeth look amazing, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! I’ll definitely be showing off my bright new smile at my daughter’s upcoming wedding. Thank you, Dr Sham! 😁

Josh Chick

I had to book an emergency appointment as the wire on my brace was too long and causing some discomfort. I was really pleased to be offered an appointment on the very same day. Ajay was fantastic, friendly, efficient and professional. Although it was a relatively quick fix, he made the whole experience quick and easy. Thanks, Ajay!

Ben Mitchell

I chose Reading Smiles for my Invisalign treatment because: Dr Sami is professional, reassuring and attentive. He takes the time to explain everything clearly and has answered all my questions with honesty. Harriet, the treatment coordinator, has been incredible. Her frequent touch points are always friendly and helpful. she has been supportive and engaging from the start. The care and professionalism at Reading Smiles is exceptional!

ioan florin Zabava

After giving 3 stars for the cleaning of my teeth, today I was having a wisdom tooth removal and I just need it to come back to this review to make it 5 because doctor Johana Zibova was exeding my expectations on how nice, professional, patient and being 100% shore that i won't feel the pain or uncomfortable with the procedure. Again, like I've said on my previous review, very clean, very professional all stuff and least but not last, they have in my opinion very very good prices. Just to get an ideea, what it costed me on them 270£, on another clinic they request 675£. I will let you judge if this clinic have good prices or not. Again, thank you very much guys but especially doctor Johana Zibova.

Alex Phillip

Dr Dhillon is fantastic and my entire invisalign experience was super smooth. Couldn’t be happier with the result

Cal

I had an amazing experience at my hygiene appointment today. Dayle and Kalpae were absolutely lovely and made the whole appointment feel comfortable and easy. Ana and Mavara on reception were also so friendly, welcoming, and helpful from the moment I arrived. Such a lovely team and a really positive experience overall. Thank you all!

Megan Shuttleworth

I started my Invisalign journey just under a year ago and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dr Yousif and Revu were amazing, they made me feel comfortable and well informed throughout the process. Dr Yousif’s experience with Invisalign made me feel more comfortable during my treatment since he had extensive knowledge and patiently answered my many questions. The receptionist team were always lovely and welcoming, especially Imogen who helped me to get started at the beginning of my journey. All in all a great experience and I am very happy with the final result!

Emilycrshea 99

Love Reading Smiles! Always a nice friendly, easy service. Daisy & Cloe both lovely on the front desk :)

Joyce Blake

Dr Johana is so kind. Taking the time to explain what was needed to be done and appreciating and understanding my anxiety especially regarding an extraction. The removal of the tooth was painless and her explanation of aftercare was detailed. A follow-up appointment reassured me everything was good and I could now start my treatment with Romosozumab for osteoporosis. Thank you so much Dr Johana for your care.

Daria Nalewajek

I had a really positive experience at the practice. The reception team is extremely professional, welcoming and friendly. Nigel is an excellent dentist. He is very professional, approachable and attentive to detail. He takes the time to explain everything clearly and makes you feel comfortable throughout the appointment. I really appreciate the care and attention. I would highly recommend Nigel and the whole team for their professionalism, care and welcoming approach.

Helen James

Dear Reading Smiles , I just wanted to say a huge Thank you to Dr Sonam and his lovely assistant Daisy for putting me at ease during my appointment . Dr Sonam is extremely thorough and very patient and talked me through the whole appointment and how healthy my teeth are. Can't recommend him more highly. Thanks again.

Mario Casha

Smile in Reading provided exceptional care and professionalism during my recent tooth extraction. The entire team displayed remarkable compassion and coordination from the moment I arrived until the end of my procedure. Mario, in particular, stood out as an outstanding individual who truly made a difference on a challenging day. They took the time to consider my health conditions, which made me feel genuinely cared for. Every team member, from the reception staff to the final procedure, contributed to delivering seamless and high-quality care. Dr. Johanna’s care was truly exceptional, and I felt completely at ease throughout the process. I highly recommend Smile to anyone seeking top-tier dental care supported by a kind and cohesive team. They truly go above and beyond to ensure patient satisfaction. A big thank you, during a difficult time.

Adam

Dr Johana and all of the team were incredible. They are always so welcoming, I highly recommend Reading Smiles

Jordan Hockley

Highly recommend this dental practice! After putting off going to the dentist for over 18 years following a traumatic experience, it was only a matter of time before I had to sit in that chair again! Eventually, it got to the point where eating had become uncomfortable, and despite my fear, I knew I had to do something. I was taken care of by Ajay, who helped me every step of the way, both with my anxiety and throughout the treatment. He was incredibly patient, reassuring and professional, which made the whole experience so much easier than I expected. Although the treatment is quite pricey, they do offer finance options, and in my opinion, the outstanding care and quality of the work made it worthwhile. I will happily be returning for my future treatment. So, to anyone who is scared or anxious about going to the dentist — don't put it off! I spent 18 years avoiding it, and honestly, it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be. 😁 Thank you to Ajay and the team!

DyCe EbhIrons

Great experience, the staff are very welcoming and Dr Yusef was so helpful throughout the treatment and I’m very happy with the results

Pia fordham-weir

I'm getting my Invisalign with Ajay and he's so lovely and making me very comfortable with the experience! All the staff are incredible and so welcoming can't recommend this place enough!

Kieran O'Dea

I was recently treated by Dr Dhillon and Zeyneb, and they were both fantastic. They replaced a broken veneer and repaired several fillings. Dr Dhillon clearly explained all the available options and provided realistic timeframes for the treatment. Throughout the treatment, both Dr Dhillon and Zeyneb explained what was involved and made sure I was comfortable and experienced no discomfort. From my initial appointment through to having my new veneer fitted, they made me feel completely at ease. I would highly recommend Dr Dhillon and Zeyneb to anyone looking for excellent dental care.

Lucas Young

I've only had positive experiences with Reading Smiles. The staff are incredibly friendly. My appointments all happen on time. The facilities are clean. And I recently had a filling which is normally torture, but they made it incredibly painless and and and efficient so I'm glad to be one of their clients and will happily go there for not only routine dental work but I'm looking at getting implants there as well.

Kelsey Thomas

I’m so glad I found Reading Smiles! I was in a lot of pain and the lovely reception team managed to fit me in for a same day emergency appointment. Dr Sham was really kind and took the time to explain everything clearly, so I knew exactly what was going on and what my options were. Everyone made me feel really comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

Amy Clark

Dr Philo is so lovely and welcoming, also always asked if I was ok during treatment (teeth fillings) and also (hygienist appointment) highly recommend seeing Dr Philo at Reading smiles! Will definitely be booking him in for my future treatments.

Frequently asked questions teeth whitening

What are the different options for whitening?

There are 3 types of whitening offered at Reading Smiles, depending on the desired outcome these can be done individually or combined.

LASER: This is carried out in our whitening suite and involves applying a whitening gel to the teeth and exposing them to a UV laser light for short periods of time. The dentist will show you the instant results against a shade chart before and after your treatment.

HOME WHITENING: This involves the dentist taking moulds of your teeth using dental putty to create trays similar to gum shields. At home, depending on the type of treatment and desired outcome you wear these overnight or for 1-2 hours a day for the specified treatment duration.

DIAMOND POLISH: This is great especially on heavily stained teeth. It is a combination of air, sodium bicarbonate and a jet of water used to gently polish away built up stains and plaque for immediate results in a single session.

If you have white spots on your teeth, then our Icon White Spot Removal Treatment would be the best solution, as teeth whitening options do not change the colour of white spots. Read more here

How does whitening work?

THE GEL: The active ingredient in the whitening gel is Hydrogen Peroxide, as this is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentine, lightening coloured substances without affecting the structure of the tooth.

THE LASER: The laser light activates the hydrogen peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth. A study has shown the UV lamp increases the effectiveness of the gel by 26% or more, giving an average improvement of 8 shades.

How long does whitening last?

We provide sound and simple aftercare so this really depends on how well you care for your teeth afterwards. If you avoid frequently exposing your teeth to red wine, tea, coffee or cigarettes and have a good oral health routine your teeth should remain whiter.

To help with this, home treatment should include enough product to allow for occasional top ups which will really help in maintaining that brilliant smile.

How much whiter will my teeth look?

This depends on the type of whitening system used and varies from person to person.Those with heavily stained yellow teeth tend to have more dramatic results than those with quite white teeth.

Your dentist at Reading Smiles will be able to advise you on the likely results following a consultation.

Are there side effects?

Some people experience no sensitivity with their teeth, however the majority of people will experience some kind of sensitivity during and after the initial treatment.

This should settle down after around 48 hours and it is advised that you avoid very hot or cold food and drinks during this period.

Am I suitable for teeth whitening?

Generally the answer is yes, however we perform an initial exam to check the surface of your teeth is suitable for whitening.

If you have existing dental work, it's important we show you which parts will lighten with whitening. Porcelain crowns and white fillings respond well to whitening, however metal fillings and non-porcelain crowns will not lighten.
