Teeth Whitening

Over time, most people experience a natural buildup of pigments on their teeth. Coloured proteins from foods and drinks such as coffee and tea can darken your natural whiteness. Factors like tobacco use, certain medications, and minerals can speed up this process. The good news is that yellowing can be easily reversed with professional teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening is suitable for most adults aged 18 to 90. If you want a brighter, more confident smile, speak to us

The process begins with a dental check to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy. Your dentist will then take an impression of your teeth to create a custom-fit tray that holds the bleaching gel in place. Following your dentist’s recommended whitening programme, you’ll notice results quickly as the gentle oxygenating action of the gel works to whiten your teeth safely and effectively.

Yes — when supervised by a dentist, teeth whitening is gentle, safe, and effective. The process only targets the molecules that cause discolouration, leaving your enamel, tooth structure, bonding, and restorations completely unaffected.

Dentist-supervised whitening has been performed for nearly a century and has grown in popularity as brighter teeth are increasingly desired both socially and professionally. Modern whitening procedures are simple, safe, and deliver noticeable results.

Not at all. The whitening process will not affect your enamel, teeth structure, bonding or restorations. Whitening acts only on the molecules that cause the discolouration.

Whitening is gentle and safe when supervised by a dentist. In fact, dentist supervised whitening has been done for nearly a century, but has increased in popularity in recent years as yellowed teeth are becoming less and less acceptable, both socially and professionally. Procedures have been simplified and shown to be safe.

You'll see results right away, usually within three days of starting the whitening process. The complete process normally takes between one and two weeks, but treatment times will vary depending on the source, type, and depth of the discolouration.

There is little, if any. Some patients might feel an increased sensitivity to cold, heat, or pressure during the whitening process, but this sensitivity ends a day or two after the treatment is completed. Any note of persistent discomfort should be reported to your dentist.

Over time results can fade and the teeth can darken again but they will never go back to how they were before the whitening treatment was done.

In order to maintain the results whitening top up can be done and is perfectly safe to do so.
