Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening carried out after a dental assessment.
What it is
Professional teeth whitening lightens the shade of natural teeth. It is carried out after a dental assessment to confirm that your teeth and gums are healthy and that whitening is appropriate for you.
Who it may be suitable for
- Patients with generalised staining or darkening of natural teeth
- Patients preparing for an event or photographs
- Patients who have completed any needed general dental treatment
Why patients consider it
- A brighter smile without altering tooth structure
- A conservative first step before considering veneers
Consultation requirement
A cosmetic consultation confirms the cause of the discolouration, whether whitening is suitable, and what result may realistically be expected. Existing crowns, veneers and fillings do not change shade.
What to expect
- 1A welcome at the front desk and a short discussion about your dental history.
- 2An examination of the relevant teeth, gums and surrounding areas.
- 3An explanation of what we find, in plain language.
- 4The appropriate treatment options, including what each one involves.
- 5Time to ask questions before agreeing to any treatment.
