Professional teeth whitening delivers results that no over-the-
counter product can approach — safely, supervised, and tailored to your shade goals.
Tooth colour is determined by the combined effect of enamel translucency and the underlying dentine shade. Both staining within the dentine (intrinsic) and on the enamel surface (extrinsic) can be addressed with bleaching — a chemical process in which hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide penetrates the enamel and oxidises chromogenic molecules within the dentine.
Professional whitening differs from consumer products in concentration, custom delivery, and clinical supervision. Over-the-counter strips and toothpastes contain peroxide concentrations too low to whiten dentine effectively, and ill-fitting generic trays allow gel to contact the gums. Custom-fitted trays and prescription-strength gel — the combination at the core of professional whitening — overcome both limitations.
Results vary based on starting shade, the nature of the staining, and patient compliance. Most patients achieve a 4–8 shade improvement. Whitening does not affect crowns, veneers, or composite restorations — meaning any existing restorations may need replacement after whitening to match the new tooth shade. We review this at the planning appointment.
Book a consultation with our specialists and receive a personalized treatment plan.
Enamel thins and dentine yellows with age — the most common indication for whitening, with consistently excellent results.
Extrinsic chromogens from daily dietary exposure penetrate the enamel over time — responsive to both professional cleaning and whitening.
Nicotine and tar deposit deeply within the enamel — requiring longer whitening courses and typically producing less dramatic results than dietary staining.
White or brown banding caused by excess fluoride during tooth development — partially addressable with bleaching; severe cases may need microabrasion or veneers.
Whitening to the target shade before veneer or crown fabrication ensures the surrounding natural teeth match the final ceramic restorations.
Bracket debond often reveals white spot lesions and colour variation around former bracket positions — whitening helps homogenise the shade.
Existing restorations, sensitivity history, gum health, and starting shade are evaluated. Whitening is contraindicated in pregnancy and for patients with significant enamel erosion.
Starting shade is photographed against a standardised shade guide — providing an objective before-and-after comparison.
Digital scans or impressions produce perfectly fitting custom whitening trays — essential for even gel distribution and gum protection.
Take-home: gel applied in trays for 1–2 hours daily over 2–3 weeks. In-office: a single 60–90 minute appointment with higher-concentration gel. Combined protocols deliver the fastest and most durable results.
Whitening results fade gradually over 12–18 months. Maintenance trays and occasional top-up gel applications extend the result with minimal effort.
