American Smile Dentists in London, Chelsea, offers Enlighten treatment which is widely acknowledged as the most effective teeth whitening system in the world. It gives guaranteed results with very low sensitivity and relies on expert technique so, for optimal results, you are closely guided through the entire procedure by your dentist.

Benefits of Enlighten teeth whitening over other systems:

Enlighten guarantees a shade of Vita B1 or lighter to 98% of patients (this is an extremely light shade, at the top of the whitening scale).
For 95% of patients, this shade is achieved within 2 weeks.
No diet change is required throughout the whitening process, or afterwards.
The effects last indefinitely.
It has a lower sensitivity than other whitening products.
Patients can achieve a lighter shade more quickly, when compared to other whitening products.
Enlighten whitening treatment works straight through the enamel and does not harm the tooth surface.

The main disadvantage of the system is that is costs more because the trays, gels and materials required for Enlighten are much more expensive than other systems.

Also, because there is a strict procedural protocol that must be followed to achieve the best results with Enlighten, it requires three surgery visits to complete.

At the first visit...
impressions are taken and we provide you with the Enlighten tooth serum. This will help to reduce any possible sensitivity problems during treatment and produce a more even and longer-lasting whitening result.

At the next appointment...
approximately 10 days later - we fit your whitening trays and carry out in-surgery desensitising. You then whiten at home for 14 consecutive nights before returning for your final in-surgery session. For some, more difficult, cases, you may require a longer period of home whitening (up to 28 nights) - your dentist will inform you if this is true for you. Very special instructions are given to you at this appointment, and it is crucial you follow these carefully to ensure optimal whitening.

At the third and final appointment...
gel is applied by your dentist in the surgery. This is chemically activated gel, so no light is required. This appointment lasts approximately one hour, and is the point when your teeth reach the desired shade. These results are designed to last indefinitely, although certain upkeep is required to ensure this. For example, in year one you will need to whiten overnight for a single night every two months, followed by one night every four months in year two, and every six months in year three. It is also recommended you continue to use Enlighten toothpaste to maintain the results.

  I had such a positive experience with Dr. Vinesh Patel, Miss Grenta at American Smile in Chelsea.

Dr. Patel is incredibly professional, kind and reassuring. He explains everything clearly, listens carefully and makes sure you feel comfortable throughout the appointment. Miss Grenta was equally lovely, friendly and very attentive, and made me feel very well looked after.

The whole experience felt calm, organised and genuinely caring. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Patel, Miss Grenta at the American Smile team to anyone looking for high-quality dental care in Chelsea.

Thank you both so much! Dream team 👌🏼

  I had such a positive experience at American Smile and would highly recommend them.

Dr Caleb was absolutely brilliant. I came in with some problems with my teeth that had been worrying me, and he was extremely professional, patient and reassuring throughout. He took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything clearly without making me feel rushed, and made sure I understood the treatment and my options. I really appreciated his attention to detail and the care he took with my teeth. I felt I was in very capable hands, and I'm really happy with the results.

A special mention also has to go to Grenta at reception. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived. She made arranging everything easy, answered any questions I had and always greeted me with a smile. That kind of service makes such a difference, especially when visiting the dentist can sometimes be stressful.

The whole practice has a very professional but friendly atmosphere, and I felt genuinely well looked after from start to finish. Thank you Cal and Grenta for making my experience such a good one. I’ll definitely be coming back and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend American Smile Dentists Chelsea to others!

  I have been a patient at American Smile in Sloane Square for almost a year, and my experience has been exceptional. I came to the clinic with a history of poor dental work and a few missing teeth. Dr Vinesh Patel has been brilliant throughout my journey. Before starting any treatment, he explains everything in detail and uses the most advanced, state-of-the-art equipment. His communication is fantastic, and he is incredibly friendly and polite. For years, I had two missing top front teeth. Other dentists in London only recommended dentures. I tried them, but losing them constantly cost me a fortune, and I hated the routine of taking them out. Dr Vinesh offered me various tailored options and we decided on a dental bridge. The results are fantastic. The bridge is perfectly shaped to match my original teeth. I am no longer embarrassed to smile! The entire clinic is amazing, especially Grenta, who is always smiling, helpful, and provides superb communication. I cannot thank the team enough and actually look forward to my six-month check-up!

  I had a very positive experience with American Smile and remain deeply grateful for the kindness and professionalism shown to me by Dr Suraj's entire team.

What stood out most was not just the quality of care, but the genuine compassion and humanity with which I was treated during a difficult and emotional time. Grenta in particular and the wider team were patient, reassuring and incredibly thoughtful throughout.

It is rare to come across a medical team that combines technical excellence with such warmth and empathy. I truly felt cared for as a person, not just as a patient.

Thank you once again to everyone at American Smile. I would absolutely recommend them.

Why Professional Teeth Whitening Outshines DIY Methods

In a world where instant gratification is often sought after, it's tempting to reach for the quickest, most accessible solution to achieve a brighter smile. The allure of do-it-yourself (DIY) teeth whitening products, such as whitening pens and charcoal toothpaste, is undeniable. They promise fast results with minimal effort and at a fraction of the cost of professional treatments. However, when it comes to your dental health, this convenience can come at a high price, especially for those with weak enamel. Here's why professional whitening under the care of a dentist is not only the safer choice but the most effective one too.

Understanding Enamel Weakness

Enamel, the outermost layer of your teeth, is the hard, protective shell that guards against decay, sensitivity, and discoloration. However, factors such as diet, oral hygiene, grinding and genetics can weaken enamel over time, making it more susceptible to damage. Weak enamel is less equipped to handle the abrasive substances and strong chemicals found in many over-the-counter whitening products, leading to increased sensitivity, uneven whitening, and in some cases, irreversible damage.

The Pitfalls of DIY Teeth Whitening

Unpredictable Results: Over-the-counter whitening products often provide uneven or insufficient whitening. This inconsistency can lead to a smile that's patchy rather than uniformly bright.
Risk of Overuse: Without professional guidance, there's a tendency to overuse DIY whitening products in pursuit of quicker or more dramatic results, exacerbating enamel wear and sensitivity.
Chemical Burns and Gum Damage: The application of whitening agents without proper dental supervision can lead to chemical burns on the gums or oral tissues, causing discomfort and potential long-term damage.

Professional Teeth Whitening Advantage

Tailored Treatment: A dentist can customise the whitening treatment to match your specific needs, considering factors like enamel strength and the degree of discoloration. This personalised approach ensures optimal results while minimisng risks.
Protecting Your Enamel: Dentists use high-quality whitening agents that are safe for your teeth, along with techniques designed to protect weak enamel from further damage.
Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment: Before any whitening procedure, a dentist will assess your overall oral health to identify any underlying issues that need to be addressed, ensuring that whitening is both safe and effective for you.

Safeguarding Your Smile

Choosing to whiten your teeth under the supervision of a dentist means investing in the long-term health and appearance of your smile. Professional whitening is not just about achieving a brighter smile; it's about doing so safely, ensuring that your teeth remain healthy and strong.

For those with weak enamel, this choice is even more critical. A professional can recommend treatments to strengthen your enamel before proceeding with whitening, ensuring that you achieve the radiant smile you desire without compromising your dental health.

While the convenience of DIY whitening solutions can be tempting, the risks they pose to individuals with weak enamel cannot be overlooked. Professional whitening offers a safer, more effective alternative, providing peace of mind and dazzling results. Remember, when it comes to your dental health, the best results come from making the bright choice: trusting your smile to the experts.

At American Smile we're committed to providing you with safe, personalised, and effective whitening treatments that protect and enhance your smile. Let us help you achieve the bright, healthy smile you've always wanted, with the care and expertise you deserve.
