What is teeth whitening?
Professional whitening uses a higher-strength bleaching gel than anything available over the counter, applied under supervision so your gums are protected and the process is controlled. Most patients see several shades of improvement in one visit.
Who is it for?
Your teeth have gradually yellowed from tea, coffee or age.
You have tried over-the-counter kits without much change.
You want a visible result before a specific event.
You want it done safely, with your gums protected throughout.
Concerns patients bring to us
- Yellowing or staining that has built up gradually over the years.
- Uneven results from over-the-counter whitening strips.
- Sensitivity from DIY whitening products.
- Not knowing what shade of white is realistic for your teeth.
Benefits
Several shades lighter, typically in about an hour.
Gums are protected and the gel strength controlled throughout.
Professional-strength gel achieves what over-the-counter kits usually cannot.
Applied evenly across all visible teeth for a natural, uniform shade.
The treatment process
Checking teeth and gums are healthy enough for whitening.
A protective barrier is placed over your gums.
Whitening gel is applied and left to work, sometimes with a light.
Your shade is checked and the gel reapplied if needed.
Technology & approach
A protective barrier is placed over the gums before the whitening gel is applied, and shade is checked partway through so the process can be adjusted rather than left to guesswork.
