Natural Teeth Whitening in Sompting, Worthing – Diana Aesthetics
Natural teeth whitening is a gentle cosmetic treatment that helps to brighten and refresh your smile without the use of bleach or peroxide. Instead, it relies on natural mineral-based and plant-derived ingredients to remove surface stains and restore the teeth’s natural brightness.
This treatment is suitable for those seeking a safer, non-abrasive alternative to chemical whitening, offering noticeable results while maintaining the integrity of the enamel. It cannot make your teeth brilliant white, but it can lighten the existing shade by several levels, leaving your smile cleaner, brighter, and more radiant.
Natural whitening treatments typically use a combination of
- Activated charcoal or clay minerals to gently lift surface stains
- Natural enzymes and fruit extracts to break down discoloration
- Calcium and essential minerals to support enamel health
- Natural oils and soothing agents to protect gums and reduce sensitivity
The process polishes away everyday staining caused by coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking, resulting in a brighter, fresher smile without damage to enamel or irritation to gums.
This treatment is ideal for individuals who
- Have surface staining or dullness caused by lifestyle habits
- Want to brighten their teeth naturally without harsh chemicals
- Experience sensitivity with traditional peroxide-based whitening
- Prefer an eco-friendly, non-invasive cosmetic enhancement
- Wish to maintain oral health while improving appearance
Natural teeth whitening is not recommended for individuals who
- Have open cavities, gum disease, or oral infections
- Have dental restorations such as crowns, veneers, or fillings on visible teeth (these will not lighten)
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding, unless cleared by a dentist
- Have recently undergone dental work or extractions
- Are under 18 years of age
- No bleach or peroxide used — gentle and non-irritating
- Strengthens and protects enamel instead of stripping it
- Safe for sensitive teeth and gums
- Helps remove everyday stains and discoloration
- Promotes fresher breath and improved oral hygiene
- Delivers gradual, natural-looking results
- Suitable for regular maintenance and long-term use
The treatment begins with a consultation to assess your teeth and determine suitability. The teeth are professionally cleaned to remove surface debris, and the natural whitening formula is applied.
A specialised LED or laser light may be used to activate the ingredients and enhance the brightening effect. The session typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes. You may notice an immediate improvement after one session, with optimal results achieved after a short course of treatments.
- Ancient Egyptians used a mixture of ground pumice and vinegar for whitening over 4,000 years ago.
