Smile confidence

Achieve a brighter smile

The whitening process involves the application of a bleaching agent to the tooth surface, which helps in removing the stains and discolouration. These agents work by breaking down the stains into smaller particles, which makes them less visible. The gel will be applied to the teeth using comfortable, custom-made trays.

Our Treatment Process

1. Your Consultation

We’ll examine your teeth and gums for any signs of decay or disease, before evaluating your dental history and asking about any previous teeth whitening treatments or sensitivity issues. Our dentist will then explain the different teeth whitening options available.

2. Your Treatment

Your teeth will be cleaned to remove any surface stains and debris. Then the whitening agent is applied to the teeth. This gel is activated using a special light or laser. The gel remains on the teeth for a specific period of time, allowing it to penetrate the enamel and break down stains.

3. Aftercare

We’ll advise you to avoid consuming foods and beverages that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco products. Plus, we’ll recommended you maintain a good oral hygiene routine by brushing and flossing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered

  • Teeth whitening treatment is a painless procedure. Some patients may experience mild sensitivity during or after the treatment. This sensitivity is usually temporary and goes away within a few hours or days.

  • Teeth whitening is done in a controlled environment, ensuring that the right amount of bleaching agent is used to achieve the desired results. Most patients experience significant whitening of their teeth after just one session. It is important to note that although the results are long-lasting, they’re not permanent, and regular touch-ups may be required to maintain the whiteness of the teeth.

  • The main difference between these two options lies in the way they are administered. In-surgery teeth whitening treatments are performed by our dentists at our clinic. These treatments usually involve the use of a higher concentration of whitening agent and may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired results. At-home teeth whitening treatments are designed to be used by patients in the comfort of their own homes. These treatments involve the use of whitening gels that are applied directly to the teeth according to the instructions our dentist will have provided. Even with a home whitening kit, a dentist consultation is essential to ensure you don’t have any tooth decay or other oral problems before you receive the treatment.

  • The effects of professional teeth whitening can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. However, this timeline can be influenced by individual habits such as diet, oral hygiene routine, and lifestyle choices. For instance, consuming foods and beverages that stain teeth, like coffee or red wine, can cause the whitening effects to fade more quickly. Additionally, smoking and poor oral hygiene can also diminish the longevity of the treatment.

  • An in-surgery dental teeth whitening treatment typically takes around 1 to 2 hours to complete. The duration may vary depending on your oral health and the extent of the staining or discolouration.

  • A few weeks of applying the bleaching agent is required to achieve the desired results. We’ll provide you with a custom-made tray filled with whitening gel that you’ll need to wear for a designated amount of time each day. The recommended duration is usually around 30 minutes to 1 hour.

  • Teeth whitening treatments carried out by our dentists are safe. If you’re using one of our home kits, it is important to follow your dentist’s instructions.
