Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the most common cosmetic dentistry treatments available today. Few people have a naturally brilliant white smile, and over time, teeth can lose their natural whiteness due to a number of factors, including diet, smoking, age, and oral health concerns. You might want to whiten your teeth to counter discolouration and staining, to enhance your smile and give your self-confidence a boost.Whitening treatments will work best on those stains caused by using tobacco and staining drinks like tea, coffee and red wine. Unfortunately whitening will not work on crowns or veneers, and any existing cavities will need to be treated before teeth can be whitened.
You have the option to whiten your teeth at home over two weeks, as we specialise in home teeth whitening. The treatment will depend on the severity of staining and the result you’d like to achieve. At the clinic, the dentist will use a light-activated gel containing hydrogen peroxide, whilst for home whitening, you’ll need to wear your custom-made trays containing a small amount of bleaching solution for up to two weeks. Safe and with great results, teeth whitening can really give new life to your smile.
