Professional teeth whitening can lighten the colour of suitable natural teeth using custom-made trays and dentist-prescribed whitening gel. Treatment begins with an oral-health assessment to confirm that whitening is appropriate for you.
Teeth whitening uses dentist-prescribed bleaching gel to lighten the colour of suitable natural teeth. It may reduce the appearance of staining caused by ageing, food, drinks or smoking, although the amount of colour change varies between patients.
Whilst there are many over-the-counter options available. Dentist-supervised whitening begins with an assessment of your teeth and gums. Your dentist can prescribe an appropriate whitening system, explain how to use it and provide advice if sensitivity or other concerns develop. The whitening process is tailored to your individual needs, ensuring your teeth and gums remain healthy throughout the treatment.
Digital scans may be used to create custom whitening trays. Your dentist will prescribe the whitening gel and provide instructions based on your teeth, gum health and treatment plan.
Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums, existing restorations and possible causes of discolouration. Any decay, gum problems or other oral-health concerns may need to be managed before whitening begins.
A digital scan is taken to produce custom whitening trays designed to fit closely around your teeth. The fit will be checked before you begin treatment.
You will receive whitening gel and instructions explaining how much to use, how long to wear the trays and how frequently to complete treatment. Follow the prescribed schedule and contact the practice if you experience significant sensitivity or gum irritation.
After treatment, the team will explain how diet, smoking, oral hygiene and occasional top-up treatment may affect the colour of your teeth. Whitening results vary and are not permanent.

Brush twice daily, clean between your teeth and attend dental reviews at the interval advised. Tea, coffee, red wine, tobacco and other staining substances may affect the colour over time. Only use top-up gel according to instructions from the practice.
A whiter smile not only enhances your appearance but also boosts your confidence in both personal and professional interactions. Let us help you unlock the power of your smile.
