Whitening lightens the natural enamel using bleaching agents under a dentist's supervision. Results vary depending on the type of staining and the original shade.
Whitening does not change the colour of fillings or crowns, so we assess first and agree realistic expectations.
Why patients seek this treatment
- Teeth darker than desired
- Stains from tea, coffee or smoking
- Before an occasion or a smile makeover
What the first assessment involves
- Checking for decay, gum problems and sensitivity
- Recording the current shade
- Cleaning before whitening when needed
- Explaining the suitable method and possible temporary sensitivity

Questions & answers
Is whitening harmful?
Supervised whitening with appropriate concentrations is considered safe for most people. Temporary sensitivity is the most common side effect.
How long do results last?
It depends on habits such as smoking, coloured drinks and oral hygiene.
Does whitening cause sensitivity?
Some people get temporary sensitivity, which usually settles within days. The dentist assesses sensitivity beforehand and may recommend a desensitising toothpaste.
Is whitening suitable for everyone?
No. For example during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with untreated decay or gum inflammation, or with some types of staining that do not respond. This is decided at the examination.
