What is tooth whitening?

A successful method for brightening the natural shade of your teeth. Though it cannot achieve a complete colour transformation, it can lighten the current shade. 

Whitening doesn't eliminate the outer layer of your teeth or modify their form. It is frequently a preferable choice over alternatives like veneers, as it doesn't require a permanent change to the tooth's structure and is straightforward to maintain.

Why would I want my teeth to be whitening?

Opting for teeth whitening is an individual decision since everyone's teeth are unique and can change in colour over time due to factors in daily life like stains from food, beverages, smoking, specific antibiotics, and the accumulation of calculus.

What is entailed in the process of teeth whitening?

Professional teeth bleaching is a popular approach. Within our clinical practice, before we start the process, we will assess your distinct clinical prerequisites and engage in a thorough discussion regarding the most appropriate techniques. These techniques encompass chair-side treatments or home-based whitening kits for your convenience.

What is the duration of chair-side power whitened?

This process lasts for approximately ninety minutes.

How long will the whiteness of my teeth last?

The duration of the whitening effects can range from three months to three years, but individual experiences may vary. If you don't smoke or regularly consume teeth-staining substances such as red wine, tea, and coffee, the whitening will last longer.

What are the potential adverse effects?

Cold sensitivity in teeth during or after the treatment may be experienced, these symptoms are typically temporary.

In what situations might tooth whitening be ineffective?

Tooth whitening only enhances your current tooth shade and is exclusively effective on natural teeth. It won't be effective on artificial teeth, like dentures, crowns, and veneers.

If your dentures have become stained or discoloured, it's advisable to have them professionally cleaned.

Please note that a Dentist will examine all patients before prescribing tooth whitening
