Teeth Whitening Treatment
in Haslemere
Teeth whitening is one of our most popular cosmetic dental treatments – which is no surprise given that it’s also one of the most cost-effective ways you can transform your smile. Choosing to have your teeth whitened at the dentist is the only way you will get the results you want. It’s safe (only a dental professional can carry out whitening – and only after a face-to-face examination), gentle and effective, using prescription-only whitening gel that is far stronger than anything you can buy over the counter. The treatment can usually be completed in two weeks – so you can look forward to smiling with confidence again.
How do I whiten my teeth?
If you’re considering teeth whitening treatment in Haslemere, book an appointment at Stricklands Dental Fitness Centre so that we can confirm you’re a suitable candidate. We’ll then send your dental impressions to lab, which will make bespoke whitening trays that fit your smile exactly. When they’re ready, we’ll give you your prescription whitening gel, pre-measured in individual syringes. Simply syringe the gel into your trays and wear them for the prescribed amount of time – this could be during the day or overnight; your dentist will recommend the best option for your needs. Once your treatment is complete, you’ll need to stick to a great hygiene routine to maintain the results, and you can use your trays in future for top-up treatments as needed.
FAQs
Is teeth whitening suitable for everyone?
Whitening is not suitable if you are pregnant or have underlying problems with your teeth and gums – which is why it’s so important to come to the dentist for an assessment first.
Why get my teeth whitened at the dentist?
Unlike online or over-the-counter products, professional whitening means the dentist can prescribe the highest-strength bleaching agent for you, yet adjust it if it causes any problems. This means you’ll get the best possible results with the least discomfort. The dentist is your only option if you want your whitening to work and you want it to be safe.
Can you whiten crowns or bridges?
Whitening only works on natural teeth – so if you are having other dental work, such as crowns, bridges or veneers, make sure you talk to us about whitening too. It’s recommended that whitening is carried out before any restorative work, so your prosthetics can be colour-matched to your natural teeth.
How long does teeth whitening last?
The key to keeping your teeth white in the long term is avoiding the foods and drinks that stain teeth and maintaining your dental hygiene routine. Even so, your teeth will naturally start to darken again after whitening. Keep your bespoke whitening trays somewhere safe so that you can use them for top-up treatments at Stricklands Dental Fitness Centre in the future.
We have been looked after for many more years than we care to recall, except to say that their "care" is detailed and expert. The advice is thorough, and the organisation works efficiently to ensure we are always in the right place at the right time.
Apart from the excellence of the professional medical staff, I find that the administration staff at Stricklands are always very helpful.
Stricklands is the most professional dental practice I have ever attended. The levels of service and attention to detail are exceptional. I still use them even after I moved away from the area.
I used to be a patient at this practice, and actually would travel a long distance because a dentist I was recommended to had transferred here. Overall, the receptionist and admin side are incredibly helpful and professional, however, I found my dentist to be unreasonable at times in terms of patient care and charging.
Have been a patient at Stricklands for over a decade. The service is always top notch,the technical knowhow cutting edge.Our family dentist Simon Allen and hygienist Nikki are brilliant! That review is over a decade old..still having the same experience, a Dentist one can trust for honest ,excellent, professional care is something to value!
Another set of full marks to Stricklands. Excellent appointment with Nikki who her usual efficient, thorough and friendly self. Left feeling reassured and confident. What more can one ask?!
I was very surprised to receive a text informing me that I had 30 minutes to reply otherwise the appointment would be offered to another person. It was peremptory in both tone and content. At the time the text arrived I had a 1 hour appointment with my chiropodist, hence I missed the time slot but luckily was able to accept the next appointment offered. Very distracting if I had been, say, driving and missed a 30 minute slot - designed for AI not people was my conclusion.Treatment by Hygienist was exemplary.
Really delighted with the care and attention from my Dentist (Geoff Tait) and my Hygienist (Alla). I do find it difficult to speak to a receptionist though when I need to change appointments and often have to leave a message. Otherwise it would be 5 star.
Attended my hygienist appointment and greeted by friendly reception team.My appointment was on time and looked after very well as always.Not even the upheaval of building work within the building effected the top and professional handling of my appointment!Very happy with the service I received.
Very happy with all aspects of the dental practice. As always received excellent treatment from Dr Sam Ellis and Naomi Shuff.
The professionalism, care and sincere kindness of this team has been amazing, especially given my levels of anxiety following previous mouth trauma. Highly recommended and thank you!
I needed and emergency appointment, fitted me in, and cured 11/10 tooth pain.
I have to say that the hygiene sessions I have attended have not been what I expect. A lot of time is spent on measuring rather than cleaning therefore a full clean has not occured on the last two occasions.
Christina along side Stacey have done an Amazing job in handling my kids tooth extraction. Christina patiently approached my nervous child to get his consent and I didn't believe when he actually agreed to get the extraction done by himself. Christina's experience has really impressed me and I absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants a way out for their child's dental problem. I really struggled with 4 dentists previously. But this was the end of my search in finding the perfect one. Thank you Christina and Stacey you have been Awesome!
Excellent treatment received from both dentist and hygienist. Highly recommend.
I moved to Norwich at the start of the year but will continue attending Stricklands and in particular Simon Allen who in my option is the best dentist ever. Great practise great staff
I was referred to Stricklands by my dentist as my treatment was a bit more complicated. I had a consultation with Dr Maslinda Mohamad yesterday and we agreed on a course of treatment which is next week. I’m not a huge fan of going to the dentist after having had extensive head and neck cancer surgery. That being said Maslinda and her nurse really put me at ease and explained everything thoroughly. The service was fantastic from start to finish - from reception to the appointment. I would highly recommend.
Managed to see me within 24hrs of a call for an emergency. Super supportive and transparent about dental options. Good communications via email regarding appointments and future works.
I visited my usual dentist and have used the practice for nearly 40 years. This time i had terrible toothache and after two visits in the day i still have a tooth which hurts to the touch. Not a happy experience and will need to consider changing practice!
This was my first visit to Stricklands. A previous dentist was unable to save my tooth & sugested removing it. Simon Allen (Stricklands) worked for nearly an hour, building up the broken tooth with filling. The tooth was broken away, right down to the gum in one area.The result was amazing, with very little pain. I cannot thank Mr. Allen enough his patients & professionalism.I was so impressed that I have now registerd as a new patient with Stricklands.
Excellent service. Time efficient plus speedy response to issues.I used to hate going to the dentists but it is now a pleasure. Darren is highly skilled and provides relaxation instead of panic with all issues. 5 star
I booked in to repair a cup on a tooth. Was given full check - not requested. Left after 25 minutes with repaired tooth but £250 poorer. More expensive per minute than my lawyer and doing work I didn’t request.Won’t be back.
A Referral to Stricklands was a beneficial event in my life as I have never looked back. I have total confidence in my dental surgeon , my Hygenist and my orthodontist. I am never anxious when attending an appointment - in my opinion this is greatest compliment of all and proof of the trust I place in Stricklands Dental Fitness Centre. Thank you everyone at Stricklands. I am receiving the best care and advice I could ever wish for.
You couldn't pay me to go anywhere else - as a nervous patient everything is explained and the recent filling I had was completely pain-free.
Dr Jones was very thorough and I felt confident in treatment as he explained everything so well. Lovely staff
Stricklands is a fantastic dental practice: Darren Jones has cared for mine and my children’s teeth for many years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
I used to be terrified of the dentist until I got referred to Strickland. The team are always so welcoming and have always made me feel at ease, I can’t thank them enough! I don’t even think about my appointments anymore and just turn up as I know I’m in good hands! Thank you Strickland’s!
Very professional, friendly dentists. The hygienist appointment was great - teeth cleaned, advice given and the hygienist was really friendly. Highly recommend.
Had the most amazing experience. The dental hygienist was very gentle and really gave me useful tips to care for teeth
Extremely well run Dental Practice, with experienced, skilled dentists (and Hygienists) using the latest techniques. However, for such a service, the prices are higher.
I just had an amazing root canal treatment with Dr Maslinda Mohamad. Dr Maslinda explained the procedure in detail. It was completely painless throughout and took very little time. A big thankyou to Dr Maslinda.
My dental treatment with Katherine Daley was first class. Professional, very competent and reassuring with a great sense of humour. I could not recommend her and the practice too highly.
Stricklands is brilliant, everyone is friendly and they put you straight at ease especially if you are a nervous patient. I have avoided dentists for 7 years and I have now been going to Stricklands for just over a year and they are excellent every time. Would definitely recommend especially if like me you aren't the easiest patient!
Helpful reception staff at this practice, good dental hygiene care and thorough and professional care from my dentist. He tries to save teeth wherever he can and does not rush to extractions.
Naomi is a credit to the practise always honest and open with any treatment or suggestions and a pleasure to see on a regular basis.
I think I've used Stricklands for over 20 years as I always receive a great service. I'm not changing any time soon.
I came here a few years ago now with a number of problems which Simon Allen kindly took on. Now, with some restoration and two implants later I am thrilled with the results. Dr Allen is a brilliant dentist and has totally restored my faith in dentists. It is a pleasure to go there. In fact the whole team, root canal, implant and general staff are of the highest possible standard. I am so glad I found Stricklands.
Excellent service from Darren and Nicki as usual. Great advice and response to questions.
I did my filling 39 years ago, and it is still perfect. The whole team are always so nice to me, I would highly recommend. Keep up the good work! ????
My dentist, Samantha, always makes me feel immediately at ease, providing detailed feedback about my dental heath and offering a treatment plan going forwards. I highly recommend this practice.
I had been referred to Stricklands by my regular dentist for a specialist scan, the staff were very helpful throughout the visit, and would happily go back if I needed to
I had my quarterly appointment with Nicki Steel. She is excellent. Thorough, very professional - always great results.
Had a great initial appointment with Maslinder - she is extremely professional and kind. I’m a nervous patient but Maslinder managed to put me at ease and explained the options thoroughly and carefully.
We are so lucky to have this team in Haslemere. Always very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble Their service is delivered in a very professional manner. Simply excellent.
The best experience at a dentist I have ever received. Organised, helpful and professional.
I always feel welcome at Stricklands and feel I can trust my dentist to tell me the truth about the state of my teeth. I believe he is competent in carrying out any necessary work.I have slight niggles about the information on line which feels to me like a cut and paste job which doesnt quite fit your circumstances. For instance we are told to wait outside in our car if we are early (where exactly?), we are also told that the door will be kept locked but it hasn't been on my last two visits, you say patients should be wearing face coverings but nobody was on my recent visit. I loathe and detest that online form you requst should be filled in repeatedly. It is not user friendly. There should be a paper option available.I am Barbara Jeffers not David Jeffers (we share an email address) but there is no option to explain this on your feedback form.
A clean, bright modern practice.From the moment you walk in you are greeted by friendly staff and as a nervous patient I was put at ease in the relaxing environment.I was constantly kept informed of what was happening.
first visit, felt at ease from the start. good advice given, plan of care given . Dentist so lovely and her assistant .excellent
I was seen by Dr. Sam Ellis who I found extremely helpful, professional and concise in explaining what was wrong with my tooth problem and has drawn up a programme to ensure my teeth stay healthy in the future. It made me feel very confident that my teeth are now in safe hands!
I have been using this dental service since 2005 and every experience I have had there has been positive. All the staff, whatever their role, are kind, helpful and effective. I could not recommend Stricklands highly enough.
A first class dental practice. My current dental surgeon, Darren Jones, is both excellent and a pleasure to see and all the staff give first class service. Highly recommended.
An overall great experience! Simon Allen is a fantastic dentist who's managed to rid me of my fear of dentists and the whole team is a joy to deal with. Thank you!
Being a very nervous patient of anything to do with dental work, I was as usual greeted at reception with a good morning and a smile which always helps.The Treatment is always first class and carried with care.I cannot praise my dentist Samantha and my hygienist Nikki highly enough.
Superb service every time. The staff are friendly, and all the treatment I've received has been extremely thorough and gentle- fantastic for a nervous patient like me!
I have had the same dentist since I was 5 so was initially nervous to have a new dentist. The young Irish gentleman,Gef, who has stepped into some big shoes was brilliant. Friendly and helpful, as was Sophia the hygienist.
I had a great experience for my root canal treatment. Everything was explained to me in good detail before and during the treatment, the staff were amazing and really put me at ease. Thank you so much.
Fantastic service, the whole team were very welcoming and helpful from the start. I was there for emergency treatment with Darren Jones and both he and the team made me feel relaxed and confident in very difficult circumstances. Well done and keep up the good work! THANK YOU!
I have just had an appointment for a checkup with Dr Fraser. I feel very comfortable with him and he makes you feel at ease. He also did 2 xrays and gives you detailed information of the results. He also has a very pleasant dental nurse working alongside of him. The receptionists are very friendly, I have in the past asked if they would let me know if their are any cancellations and they do so promptly. I also see Sophie the hygienist every 3 months and she advices exactly what I should be doing when cleaning my teeth I also feel very comfortable with her and she is very friendly.
I got an appointment the very next day when I rang about my fallen implant tooth and it was a very good visit. The staff are very polite and helpful. Dr Frazer took an x-ray and very carefully examined my implant and the fallen tooth. Even through he could not fix it, because the implant was done in Canada, but he explained clearly to me what’s the next step to do when I get back to Canada. I was very relieved and knowing that I had the best care at the Stricklands Dental Fitness centre.
Recently visited Stricklands for the first time and was very impressed by the ambience and care under Dr Fraser. I felt I was adequately equipped to make decisions about my teeth as the advice given was clear and helpful. The email contact was also clear so I knew exactly what I needed to do and when. Thanks for a great service.
Very good service. I had a regular check up to a very high standard of quality. The way they calmly talk you through the process of what they're checking for (including checking for lumps and bumps around your jaw area which they didn't used to do!), was very reassuring. The practice is in a great location and clean and light throughout. Staff on reception were very efficient, friendly and helpful. It is a bit expensive being a private dental centre (£75 for a 10min check up). Only complaint is that the wait times for appointments can be insane. My hygienist appointment was cancelled as they had COVID, her next available slot was 3 months later in the beginning of march! If your appointment has been cancelled I think they should go to greater lengths to try to get you seen sooner.
