Question 1

Where can Alderley Edge clients get professional laser teeth whitening?

Accepted Answer

Cloud 9 Aesthetics at 193a Wilmslow Road, Handforth provides professional laser teeth whitening treatments. The clinic is approximately 10 minutes from Alderley Edge via the A34, and Alderley Edge Railway Station provides a direct rail connection to Handforth.

Question 2

How many shades whiter can professional whitening achieve?

Accepted Answer

Most clients achieve between 4–8 shades of whitening improvement in a single session. The actual result depends on the nature of your staining, your starting shade and the structure of your enamel. Your practitioner will provide a realistic assessment and a shade comparison at your consultation.

Question 3

Why is professional whitening superior to over-the-counter products?

Accepted Answer

Professional laser whitening uses clinical-strength whitening agents activated by laser or professional LED technology — significantly more powerful than anything available in retail products. The controlled clinical environment also ensures your gums are properly protected and the process is both safer and more comfortable.

Question 4

Will teeth whitening cause sensitivity?

Accepted Answer

Some clients experience mild, temporary sensitivity for 24–48 hours following treatment. We use professional formulations specifically designed to minimise this effect, and our practitioners will provide clear aftercare guidance to manage any sensitivity. Most clients find the experience well tolerated.

Question 5

How long do whitening results last?

Accepted Answer

With consistent oral hygiene and reasonable management of staining foods and drinks, results typically last 12–24 months. Top-up sessions are available to refresh and extend your results as needed. Avoiding high-staining drinks such as coffee and red wine in the 48 hours immediately after treatment helps maximise longevity.

Question 6

Are there any circumstances where whitening would not be suitable?

Accepted Answer

Whitening products work only on natural tooth enamel. Crowns, veneers, composite bonding and other restorations will not be lightened by the treatment. Whitening is also not recommended during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding. Your practitioner will assess full suitability at consultation.

Question 7

How long does the whitening appointment take?

Accepted Answer

The treatment itself takes approximately 60 minutes at our Handforth clinic, including preparation, the whitening procedure and the finishing consultation. Your initial appointment will also include a shade assessment and aftercare briefing.

Question 8

What aftercare is required after professional teeth whitening?

Accepted Answer

For 48 hours following your treatment, avoid strongly staining foods and drinks — coffee, tea, red wine, dark berries and turmeric are the key items to limit. Avoid smoking and use a soft toothbrush. Your practitioner will provide comprehensive written aftercare guidance to protect your investment.
