When it comes to our smiles, many people lose confidence at the thought of bearing their teeth out of fear that their 'stubborn stains' and yellowing will be spotted. Affordable at-home treatments have proven to be a popular choice for beauty buffs seeking a glow-up, particularly one teeth whitening brand which has been praised by shoppers for its quick-acting and 'brightening' results.
Costing now £19.95 down from £25.99, the Dr Dent Professional Teeth Whitening Strips are made up of 42 strips in a packet (to cover top and bottom teeth), which equates to 21 treatments. This in turn works out at 95p per time, which is a pretty affordable often for those wanting a sparkling smile without incurring the same cost usually obtained at the local dental hygienist (ie hundreds of pounds).
Its formula claims to be safe for the enamel - backed up by plenty of reviews which share how the treatment works on sensitive teeth with little to no pain - thanks to its peroxide-free formula. Plus, it requires a short amount of time to work its magic: 30-60 minutes, which is enough time to catch an episode of a binge-worthy Netflix show.

As recommended by one dentist on the Dr Dent website, shoppers looking for a teeth whitening solution at home should opt for 'peroxide free whitening strips as they are more gentle than normal peroxide and enamel safe.'
The product works to remove stains caused by coffee, wine, soft drinks, food and smoking, and some shoppers stating that they've seen results in seven days. It's also infused with coconut and mint oil, to ensure there's a pleasant taste - something users have said beats other competitors.
There are a number of alternative teeth whitening solutions that promise whiter teeth in just a few sessions. For example, MySweetSmile's Teeth Whitening Strips are on sale for £24.99, down from £29.99, and claim to 'lift deep-set stains and yellowing in just 7 days -- without peroxide, irritation, or sensitivity'. The brand also has teeth whitening powder, for those who aren't so enamoured with using strips on their teeth.
Elsewhere, for those hard-to-reach places others have turned to the Colgate Max White Teeth Whitening Overnight Wand which costs £10 from Boots and is an enamel-safe, quick-drying route which begins working from the moment it's applied.
With an impressive 4.2 star rating, the DrDent whitening strip s have received glowing reviews from shoppers who have not only brightened their smile, but have boosted their confidence too. One particularly pleased user of the strips raved: "I recently tried these teeth whitening strips and they exceeded my expectations. They are incredibly convenient to use, and the clear instructions made the application process a breeze.
"The results were outstanding, as they noticeably whitened my teeth and reduced stubborn stains. What impressed me the most was their gentle formula, causing no sensitivity or discomfort. These versatile strips adhere securely, ensuring even coverage. Overall, I highly recommend these whitening strips for anyone looking to achieve a brighter and more confident smile."
Someone else added: "Works like a charm! Amazing price. So affordable compared to other teeth whitening products. The application process is straightforward and simple. I've always struggled with yellowish teeth, regardless of how much I brush, though after using this product, I notice a significant difference. Makes me feel confident & proud of my smile."
A third shared their glee at their results - but also offered a word of warning: "They really do work. You can see a difference almost immediately after use. I saw a clear difference after my first use, and my teeth have only been getting whiter. I have really sensitive teeth but I use these with no problem or sensitivity. I really truly love this product and i hope to continue to support this business.
"I do also want to say that this product isnt one that will cover your bad habits. It will do its job well and whiten your teeth but it won't stop your teeth from getting stained again. So its important to keep up with dental health, especially if you want to see real results."
Although these strips weren't loved by all shoppers, with one customer citing dissatisfaction: "Why struggle with these slippery things when it's easier just to hold hydrogen peroxide in your mouth?"
Another was left underwhelmed, citing: "This is a decent product though doesn't yield dramatic results. No pain with using this product."
However, the overwhelming reaction to these Dr Dent strips have been positive, reinforced by this user who said: " These strips not only didn't hurt my teeth or gums, they really, truly whitened my teeth in a natural way. I saw results after one use. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. I'm happy with these because my teeth look natural--not some phony, blinding, radioactive shade of white. I will absolutely buy these again in the future."
