Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental treatment designed to brighten your smile and reduce the appearance of tooth discolouration. Over time, factors such as coffee, tea, food, smoking and natural ageing can cause teeth to lose their brightness. Professional whitening can help restore a fresher, more radiant appearance.

Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment that uses whitening agents to lighten the colour of your natural teeth and reduce certain types of staining.
When carried out appropriately using suitable products and professional guidance, teeth whitening is generally considered safe. Your dentist will assess your oral health before treatment.
Treatment time depends on the whitening method used. Some options involve treatment at home over a period of time, while others may involve an in-practice appointment.
Whitening can improve many types of external and some internal discolouration, but results vary. Certain stains, restorations and deeper discolouration may require alternative treatment.
Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity during or after whitening. Your dental team can provide advice on managing sensitivity and using the treatment appropriately.
Results vary depending on your diet, oral hygiene, lifestyle and natural tooth colour. Maintaining good oral hygiene and following your dentist’s advice can help prolong the results.
Whitening treatments generally affect natural tooth structure and do not whiten existing crowns, veneers or fillings. Your dentist can discuss suitable options if you have visible restorations.
You may still be suitable for whitening, but your dentist will assess the cause and severity of your sensitivity before recommending treatment.
Your dentist may advise you to limit foods and drinks that can cause staining, particularly during the initial period following treatment.
