Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening uses a peroxide-based gel, applied under a dentist's supervision, to lighten the colour of natural teeth. In-office and take-home options are available.
Who may need this service
- Patients with stained natural teeth from coffee, tea or wine
- Anyone preparing for a wedding, graduation or photo session
- Patients planning veneers or crowns who want to lighten the surrounding teeth first
Treatment process
Step 1
Examination
We confirm there are no cavities or sensitivity issues that need to be addressed first.
Step 2
Professional cleaning
Polishing removes surface stains so whitening gel reaches the enamel evenly.
Step 3
Whitening
Either an in-office session or custom take-home trays with prescription gel.
Step 4
Maintenance
Top-up at home as needed and avoid heavy staining foods for the first 24 hours.
Benefits
- Visible improvement in shade for most patients
- Custom trays fit precisely and reduce gum irritation
- Supervised use lowers the risk of sensitivity
