Teeth Whitening

What is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at lightening the colour of your teeth. It’s a popular choice for enhancing your smile and boosting your confidence, and we offer both in-chair and take-home whitening options to suit your lifestyle and preferences.

In-Chair Teeth Whitening

In-chair teeth whitening is a professional whitening treatment performed in our clinic. It’s designed to deliver immediate and dramatic results, making it an excellent choice if you want a fast and effective solution.

What to Expect:

1. Initial Consultation: During your consultation, we’ll assess the condition of your teeth and discuss your whitening goals. We’ll also take a shade assessment to determine the starting colour of your teeth and the expected outcome.

2. Preparation: We’ll prepare your teeth and gums for the treatment by protecting your soft tissues with a special barrier. This ensures that only your teeth are exposed to the whitening agent.

3. Application: A professional-strength whitening gel is applied to your teeth. We may use a light or laser to activate the gel and enhance the whitening process. The treatment typically lasts about 60-90 minutes.

Aftercare:

After the procedure, we’ll provide you with special aftercare instructions to help you maintain your bright, white smile. You may experience some temporary sensitivity, which is normal and should subside within a few days.

Benefits:

• Immediate Results: Noticeable whitening after just one session.

• Professional Supervision: Performed by our skilled dental professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness.

• Enhanced Brightness: Achieves a whiter smile in a shorter time frame.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

Take-home teeth whitening provides the convenience of whitening your teeth at your own pace, from the comfort of your home. It’s ideal for those who prefer a gradual whitening process or need flexibility in their treatment schedule.

What to Expect:

1. Initial Consultation: We’ll begin with a consultation to discuss your whitening goals and assess your dental health. We’ll take impressions of your teeth to create custom whitening trays that fit perfectly.

2. Custom Trays and Whitening Gel: We’ll provide you with custom-fitted whitening trays and a professional-grade whitening gel. The trays ensure even application and minimise gel leakage.

3. Application: You’ll use the whitening gel in the trays according to the instructions provided. The treatment typically involves wearing the trays for a specified period each day, usually for a couple of weeks.

Aftercare:

Follow the provided instructions to ensure optimal results and manage any potential sensitivity. We’ll schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.

Benefits:

• Convenience: Whiten your teeth on your own schedule, at home.

• Custom Fit: Custom trays ensure even whitening and comfort.

• Gradual Results: Achieve a whiter smile over time with controlled application.

Choosing between in-chair and take-home whitening depends on your personal preferences and goals:

In-Chair Whitening: Best for those seeking immediate results and a professional touch.
