Thinking about whitening your teeth lately?
You’re not the only one. A lot of people in Buckhurst-Hill come to LA Teeth Whitening for all sorts of reasons—some have weddings coming up, others just want to feel better about their smile.
The good news is, it doesn’t take long, and the process is surprisingly simple. No drills, no pain. Just a short session, and most people walk out with a much brighter smile than they expected.
You probably can guess the answer—yes, but maybe try to cut back just before your appointment.
Strong drinks like coffee, tea, or red wine can leave colour on your enamel that makes the whitening a bit less effective.
It’s not the end of the world if you do have them, though. Just brush your teeth properly before coming in and drink some water. No need to change your whole diet for one treatment.
Right after whitening, your teeth are more open to staining for about 24–48 hours. So if you can skip smoking, wine, fizzy drinks, or anything with strong colours, you’ll get more lasting results. It’s also a good idea to avoid tomato sauces, soy sauce, or colourful curries during that window.
Some folks follow what’s called a “white diet” after whitening. It sounds dull (because it kind of is), but it works—think chicken, rice, eggs, cauliflower, bananas, that kind of thing. Not forever, just a day or two.
Laser teeth whitening Buckhurst-Hill works great for most people, but it’s not always the right option for everyone.
Here are a few situations where it might be best to hold off or speak to your dentist first:
If you’re pregnant
It’s just one of those times when being cautious is the safest bet. Better to wait until after.
You’re under 18
We Not recommend laser whitening for younger teeth. They’re still developing and more sensitive.
If your teeth are super sensitive already
The gel and light can sometimes cause a bit more sensitivity after the treatment. Not a dealbreaker for everyone, but it’s worth knowing.
Major dental work planned soon
If you're about to get crowns or veneers, wait until after. You’ll want to match them to your whitened teeth—not the other way around.
Untreated cavities or cracked teeth
If there’s any decay or damage, the whitening gel can seep in and cause serious discomfort—or even pain.
Our prices usually fall somewhere between £149 and £299. It depends on how deep the staining is and how many sessions you end up needing.
We try to keep things simple with no confusing hidden fees. Plus, now and then we run deals or seasonal offers, so it’s worth getting in touch to ask about that before you book.
When you compare the results to months of trying whitening strips that barely make a difference, it’s pretty good value.
When it comes to teeth whitening, laser treatment really does have the edge over home kits or strips.
The biggest difference? Speed and results. Instead of spending weeks hoping for a slight change with strips, laser whitening gives you noticeable results in just one session. It’s also done by professionals, so you don’t have to worry about uneven whitening or hurting your gums.
Plus, it reaches deeper stains—like those from coffee or red wine—that kits at home often miss. If you want something that’s safe, effective, and actually works the first time, laser is definitely the better choice.
