What it is
Teeth can discolour over time with age, smoking and certain foods and drinks. Whitening can improve how they look without invasive preparation of the teeth.
We take impressions of your teeth to make custom trays. The trays hold whitening gel against your teeth over a number of applications.
Who it's for
Adults with healthy teeth and gums who'd like a lighter shade.
Whitening doesn't change the colour of fillings, crowns or veneers. Your dentist will check your suitability first, and make sure the treatment won't harm your oral health.
What to expect
- A check of your teeth and gums, and a conversation about the shade you hope for and what's realistic.
- Impressions for your custom trays, then a fitting appointment where we show you how to use them.
- Results vary from person to person. Your dentist will explain what to expect for your teeth.
