2nd July 2025
If your special day is fast approaching and you’ve been wondering if it’s too late to give your smile a glow-up - the good news is, at Hertfordshire Dental Group, we can help you achieve whiter teeth in weeks!
While a few (happy) tears are all part of the magic of a wedding day, your smile will take centre stage, captured in every photo. Feeling confident and radiant means you’ll love looking back on those memories for years to come.
Here, we take a look at some of the most popular teeth whitening treatments in Hertfordshire, and how they can not only boost your confidence in the short term, but can act as the perfect motivation to maintain healthy habits and keep your teeth looking their best, well beyond the big day.
Wedding Whitening: What are the Options?
Here at Hertfordshire Dental Group we offer two world class systems for brightening your smile: Enlighten and Pola Whitening - that are minimally invasive and scientifically proven.
Enlighten Whitening is one of our most requested treatments as it’s the only whitening treatment that guarantees a VITA B1 shade (the brightest natural shade) regardless of how stained your teeth are to begin with. With long-lasting results when properly maintained, it offers a brighter smile with minimal sensitivity that will last long beyond the wedding day celebrations.
Pola Whitening also offers a personalised approach to teeth whitening, making it easy to seamlessly fit into your wedding prep routine. With a range of gels to suit different lifestyles, you can choose between day or night treatments for maximum convenience. The advanced formulations ensure effective whitening while keeping sensitivity to a minimum, making it an ideal solution for those seeking a brighter smile without discomfort.
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Take?
At Hertfordshire Dental Group, achieving your dream smile is easier than you think. Our professional teeth whitening treatment can take just 2-3 visits, meaning you’ll see stunning results in a matter of weeks.
Following your initial consultation, you’ll return to our clinic for a custom tray fitting, ensuring a comfortable, precise whitening experience. From there, your active treatment lasts 1-3 weeks, depending on your desired shade of brightness - so you’re in control of your results.
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last?
Unlike many shop-bought teeth whitening products that offer a quick but temporary boost, professional treatments are designed for long-lasting brightness. With the right care, your newly whitened smile can stay fresh for months or even years, depending on your lifestyle and oral hygiene habits. Your custom trays are built to last and can be reused multiple times, meaning if you need a top-up in the future, you’ll just need to pick up some refill gel from reception - just make sure you take good care of your trays!
How Much Does Professional Teeth Whitening Cost?
If your wedding budget is already feeling the pinch after securing the photographer, flowers, and dream honeymoon, there’s good news - teeth whitening starts from under £400, depending on the system you choose.
Your dentist will guide you in selecting the best option to suit your needs, ensuring you get a bright, confident smile without breaking the bank. View our treatment fee guide here.
While over-the-counter teeth whitening products are more budget friendly - they can come with risks. Check out our Top 5 Reasons to choose professional teeth whitening.
Can Tooth Whitening Damage My Teeth?
No, but before starting your treatment, we first assess your teeth and gums to ensure there are no underlying issues. While whitening can cause temporary sensitivity, it’s a safe and effective treatment when performed by a qualified dental professional who can take steps to maximise your comfort.
Though primarily cosmetic, we find teeth whitening often inspires better oral care habits - not only by encouraging more regular dental check-ups, but also by motivating people to brush and floss more diligently to maintain their results.
If you’ve got plenty of time before the big day and you’re looking for a next-level smile transformation, our teeth whitening treatments pair perfectly with cosmetic enhancements like composite bonding and Invisalign, creating a flawless, photo-ready finish.
