Teeth whitening is a non-invasive way of brightening a discoloured or yellow smile.
Reverse staining caused by wear and tear, diet, and smoking in as little as 10 days using our trusted teeth whitening brands, Enlighten™ and Pola.
What is Enlighten™ teeth whitening?
Enlighten™ is an at-home teeth whitening brand that uses low-sensitivity whitening gel. The process is completely bespoke, using custom-made whitening trays to fit your teeth perfectly. The whitening trays are worn for 4 to 6 hours a day.
Why choose to have your teeth whitened?
Increased confidence levels
The simple act of getting your teeth whitened can work wonders for your confidence and willingness to smile in general.
Easy and convenient
Applying the whitening gel takes just a couple of minutes each day, and there’s no need to adopt any special treatment when it comes to brushing and flossing. We recommend avoiding teeth staining food and drink during your treatment. You will find the whitening trays easy to get used to (you may even forget you have them in at all!)
Guaranteed results
Enlighten™ is the only teeth whitening system in the world to guarantee a B1 shade. This is the whitest shade your teeth can go without the use of veneers or composite bonding treatment using porcelain or composite resins.
Your teeth whitening journey
Step 1: Whitening consultation
You will need to attend a consultation prior to starting the treatment process. We will check your teeth and gums to ensure they are healthy enough to proceed with a treatment like teeth whitening. Patients must have decay and disease-free teeth before proceeding with cosmetic dental treatment.
Step 2: Making your teeth whitening aligners
Impressions (moulds) of your teeth are taken so that the whitening trays can be made by Enlighten™. The whitening trays are sent back to the practice.
Step 3: Whitening process
Your dentist will instruct you on how to apply the whitening gel to each groove in your whitening trays. You can decide whether to wear your trays by day or night (whichever works best for you).
Step 4: Top-ups
We recommend using whitening gel every 12 months to maintain the original results of treatment. Your dentist can provide you with these gels – please do not use any gel that has not been prescribed by your dentist.
FAQs
How long do the results of Enlighten™ last?
Enlighten has the potential to last for up to 3 years, though the exact length of time your teeth remain white will be dictated by the following:
How well you care for them.
How often do you visit the hygienist to have the plaque and tartar removed from your gum line
How often you top-up the results.
How quickly does Enlighten™ work?
You will notice your tooth shade start to change in the first 3 or 4 days of starting treatment. Within 10 to 14 days, your teeth will have significantly whitened. If you are just looking to make a minor change to your tooth shade, we will provide you with a lower concentrate gel to be used for 1-3 hours each day.

From the moment you walk into Ashbourne Road Dental you can’t help but notice how well decorated, clean and tidy the place is - people obviously care. Once in reception you are met by cheerful, friendly and helpful staff. I’ve only ever been treated by Tanzeel who is friendly and polite and who struck up a good rapport with myself and my wife. I’ve had a fair amount of dental work in recent times (to be expected at my age), but have to say that I have 100% confidence and trust in Tanzeel. He takes absolute pride in his workmanship, taking time to explain the options to you and gives you a little commentary throughout your procedure. There’s a bit of humour there too. Would definitely recommend this practice. Many thanks to the team, I won’t be going anywhere else.
Really excellent receptionists, not at all like doctors receptionists 😉 so friendly and helpful!Relaxed atmosphere, I’m quite a nervous patient so this was very welcoming.Thanks guys ☺️
Wow Wow Wow! Visited on an emergency appointment for a cracked tooth that was extremely painful and sensitive. Dr Tanzeel Ahmad was my hero and carried out an immediate painless extraction. Cannot thank all the staff enough who were all so friendly and professional. Great price and unbelievable value. Highly recommend!
After 9 months I now have full set of implants. Long procedure but worth it can finally smile with confidence. Thanks to the Dental practice and particularly Tanzeel Ahmed
Excellent dental practice always friendly welcome from staff. Appointments always on time. My dentist Tanzeel is extremely knowledgeable and great personality. Really makes you feel comfortable and safe. Has been so helpful to both me and my wife. Very lucky to have found such a place.
Went in to book an appointment, reception staff were lovely, very helpful and kind. I got recommended by a friend to go here as he said they were professional and polite and he wasn't wrong.
My daughter needed teeth out before braces were fitted and her newly privatised dentist quoted £560. Stressing about this cost especially in todays world, i immediately began looking for a new dentist. A friend referred me to Ashbourne Road Dental practice via Kerri, one of the receptionists.She was fabulous and got not only my daughter set up with an appointment but got the whole family set up here with an NHS dentist, which meant that it cost me nothing for my daughter to have her teeth out, which was amazing. Her appointment was also booked close to me ringing up, which was perfectA few appointments later, and we are still extremely happy. My daughters tooth removals went very well, and any appointments or treatments for the rest of the family have been great. The staff are all lovely and friendly and make sure they talk to my children, not just to me or my husband.My son had toothache for a few days and i rang up just after opening one day and he had an appointment an hour later.I would and have told people looking for a dentist to try here.
First time coming to this practice and the staff is friendly, the clinic is clean, and Dr. Tanzeel is thorough and professional. They make sure you’re comfortable every step of the way. Highly recommend!
I had my first appointment at this practice and i couldn’t recommend it more! My appointment was prompt and the receptionists were very helpful and polite, I will be using this practice for the foreseeable future! Thanks again
I cannot recommend Dr Rehman enough. I had 2 back teeth removed after suffering with severe toothache for months and he dealt with it painlessly and quickly, so relieved. Highly recommend these dentists, they are brilliant, especially Dr Rehman!
Very caring, polite Dentists and Staff..very aware of any Disabilities, always try and accommodate me in a downstairs treatment room, if one available..thanks
Booked an appointment for my employee who needed urgent care. He got seen within a few hours and told me the dentist was excellent! Spoke to the receptionist who was lovely. Thanks guys for helping him out I really appreciate it x
Today was my first visit to this practice. My appointment was prompt, and professional, the reception staff, were polite and very helpful.The dentist was very competent, explained everything very clearly, giving me options and costings of all treatments that i required.I was recommended this practice by family members, and im very pleased that they did.
I wanted the right option for my circumstances to straighten my teeth. I got great advice and decided Invisalign was the right choice. All my concerns were answered and even an additional appointment to go through finer details were given to ensure I was happy and confident in my choice. The staff and dentists have been great. I look forward to my future visits as I'm just starting the Invisalign process.
Two teeth removed and preparation work for implants and a bridge. I was made to feel so at ease by my dentist, his use of technology in the scanning and investigation stages of my treatment showed how much dentistry has moved forward recently. I’d recommend these people for any works that you may need doing
I recently joined the Practice and I must say, as dentists go, it was a please experience. Easy to park, appointment on time and my treatment explained clearly and professionally. Follow up appointment booked to fit my diary. Highly recommended
Been attending this dental practice for over 2 years now. They are fab, couldn't ask for a more compatonate team. They are all very welcoming and put you at ease. Asked about retainer's in my appointment and they did the moulds there and then, that made my life so much easier even though i was fully prepared to book a separate appointment for them.The practice is clean and very well presented over all i highly recommend them.
I joined Ashbourne Dental after moving to the area. I’m very impressed with the level of care and quality of work by Dr Ahmad. He has been clear and transparent in explaining the process and treatment needed whilst also making me feel comfortable and at ease during the treatment. I had some major treatment and didn’t have any pain or discomfort. I would highly recommend this practice and Dr Ahmad for anyone looking for a new dentist!
Today was my first appointment with Ashbourne Road Dental and I was very impressed! The Reception staff were very helpful, polite and well organised. The building itself is lovely and very clean! I had my appointment with Benish who was absolutely lovely! She was so informative and made me feel at ease about the treatment I needed. I would definitely recommend this practice!
I have just had my second appointment at the dentist and i have had such a great experience both time! This time i got my 9 month baby as well to have a check up to whilst i registered her and everyone was so nice and friendly and the Dr was amazing with her, my little one smiling and behaved for the Dr, definitely recommend!!
I have been visiting this dental practice for years now and in that time had a number of different dentists. My present, Dr Dawud Ahmad is keeping up the tradition of excellent service with a very friendly manner which puts me at ease.I especially like that he takes that little extra time on my six monthly checkups to give my teeth a quick clean, creating the feeling of value for money as well as a great service.
Incredible experience, as someone that was very nervous about visiting the hygienist, Dawud and the team put me at ease from the moment I walked in! They were happy to answer my questions and supported me with my flossing technique. Thankyou!!
I am a nervous patient but i am put at ease, very welcoming and professional. Always gives advice, considerate as always asks if I'd like him stop. Very good practice.
The reception staff are always friendly and professional and the dentist/nurse always put you at ease. I used to be afraid of going to the dentist but doesn't bother me now because I know I'm in safe hands.
I've been registered with this dental practice since 2010, when it was called Cunningham and Associates. I've always received a good standard of care, professionalism, and courtesy. I recommended them highly.
Very efficient reception team before and after the appointment.The Dentist and Dental Nurse involved me fully in my care. I was informed of the processes that were involved in my treatment. The Dentist and Dental Nurse were friendly, welcoming and supportive.Would definitely recommend
We had the dentist come to nursery to speak to our pre school children for national oral health day. The staff were amazing with the children talking to them and showing them how to clean their teeth correctly.
My first dentist appointment in 5 years. Always been a very nervous patient and the last dentist I saw made me feel so horrific about myself and I've been petrified since. Today was so totally different. Both staff in the room made me feel comfortable, I became upset as soon as they called my name and they sat me down with a glass of water, told me to forget about the appointment for a moment and had little chat to help calm me down. They asked if I was with someone and then fetched my husband from the waiting room to make me feel more comfortable. They were incredibly compassionate and made me feel more at ease than I've ever felt in my life at a dentist. Everything was explained to me clearly and they've made me feel so much better about my dental situation that I cried again from relief. I'm still nervous but they have put me at a lot of ease about actually going to see them regularly. Thank you so much Tanzeel & Selvi 💜
Been with this practice for over 30 years. Every six months. No complaints. Always positive and patient centered Thorough service every time. Admin excellent. Long may it continue.NHS patient.
Very efficient..Very friendly, really lovely people.. Makes such a difference.. Especially when terrified of going to the dentist like myself.Couldn't want for better.
First time using, as our previous dentist wasn't reliable and kept cancelling our appointments. Brilliant service, staff really informative, all costs explained, and have recommended to other family members to move here.
Been today 1st time Zara and her assistant , I've got to say never mind the building is beautiful clean.the service I have to say is best EVER I've been in my 50 odd years and maybe 25 dentist from here to London. Totally Outstanding every 1 .10.out 10 if could give more it be worth it. Won't find better no where.
To be honest, the treatment staff is very respectful, welcoming and friendly, and they offer and implement the best suggestions for treating your teeth, they follow the hygiene tips well, and they try to make your appointment as soon as possible. They will arrange the next meeting, in general, I would like to thank Mr. Hassan Rahman, the dentist, for giving me a beautiful smile🙏
Not my usual dentist but I was away from home when I chipped my front tooth and wanted it fixed asap. I managed to get an emergency dentist appt at Ashbourne road dental at short notice hoping for a temporary solution until I was back home and could see my own dentist. Not only was I able to be seen but I actually had a high quality painless and permanent fix on the day at a very reasonable price. Fantastic service that exceeded all expectations from Dr Hasaan and the rest of the staff were extremely friendly too. I don't live in Derby so probably won't be back but I would recommend this practice to anyone that does :)
I was not one that enjoyed going to the dentist, but since being at this practice it has been so much more easier. My dentist (Dr Rahman) makes me feel at ease and explains any treatment that might be needed. All the staff are great and helpful.
I had an unexpected dental emergency and this surgery was able to fit me in straight away. The clinicians and the team at the dental surgery were absolutely amazing. They were so professional and made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. The atmosphere was great and they communicated everything clearly. They provided prompt and efficient care. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.I highly recommend them for any dental needs!.
Absolutely outstanding and highly recommended. Starting out last November 2022 as a very nervous patient, I am now confident when visiting the Dental Practice, where I have had several procedures including dental implants. A massive Thank you to Tanzeel for always being patient with me and making me feel at ease when I visit. All the staff are polite and kind. Thank you for everything, I wouldn't go anywhere else.
I was seen promptly and was dealt with kindness and courtesy. It was explained that esthetically my implants would look better if I had a graft onto the lower gum. I said I was not interested however as the lower teeth were not visible at any time, even when laughing, so the Dentist was happy to proceed on the basis that the implants would be visible, but only to me! I was then given an appointment for the proper teeth to be fitted after numerous photos were taken.
My bi-anual check at Ashbourne road Dental went fine. Very pleasant and polite staff,from reception to my dental surgeon and his assistant. All demonstrat professionalism in there own field and I look forward to my visits knowing I will receive top quality care every time.T.R. Campbell.
Best dentist I’ve been too! Staff are all so friendly and welcoming. Lovely new waiting room. Went for a clean and fillings. Dentist made me feel at ease and spoke to me throughout my appointment to make sure I was comfortable. Very professional, fully recommend and will be back soon
Compelled to give this practice another 5 stars after once again fantastic service. I had dental pain whilst on holiday returned to the UK last night and given an appt the morning after , Dr Rehman was caring and helped me feel at ease, and explained everything clearly and treatment completed with no issues . Highly recommend
Brilliant service, top quality. The hygiene and specifically the cleanliness are excellent. Made to feel comfortable and at ease, especially as I'm a nervous patient. Staff are super helpful too. Definitely recommend this practice.
A fantastic experience from start to finish. The service has always been friendly, personal and efficient from those on reception, to Anyone in the consulting room. I would thoroughly recommend this dental practice.
Absolutely amazing, I have never been more at ease for a dental procedure. I have autism and ADHD and never have I found a dental practise so welcoming and understanding. They listened to what I needed and adapted accordingly. No pain, clear instructions, friendly staff and very prompt appointments. I’m one of the most nervous patients but I would happily go back again. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.
