Healthy teeth often get darker with age or stains when consuming certain foods such as coffee and red wine or even whilst smoking. This can be treated with a tooth whitening procedure which is safe and efficient.
There are two types of Tooth Whitening Procedures:
1) Power Whitening
This treatment is quick (around one hour) and is performed by a dentist. This will bring your teeth to their ultimate natural whiteness. Keep in mind that if you want the “Hollywood” white smile you may rather consider porcelain veneers. For optimum results we do recommend patients to use custom whitening trays to supplement the power whitening. These trays can also be used to maintain whiteness over many years.
2) Home Tooth Whitening.
This procedure is performed at home, for an average of 10 -14 days with the aid of tooth whitening trays and gel. You get the same end result with both procedures but the home whitening takes longer and some patients find it inconvenient.

Please note, a dental examination is required before tooth whitening to ensure that there are no dental problems. A dental hygiene visit is also required to remove any stains and deposits on the teeth, to maximise tooth whitening results.
More info:
- Prior to the procedure you will need a dental check up to ensure you have healthy teeth and gums. Any condition preventing your dentist fro carrying out the procedure will then be explained to you.
- Impressions are taken to construct whitening trays to assist with the home- and top up procedures.
- We use a combination of hydrogen peroxide & carbamide peroxide gel. Both these products have been recognized as efficient and safe.
- With the “in surgery whitening” a non-laser light source emitting light in the blue region is used to activate the gel and accelerate the working time of the gel. The gel breaks up into oxygen and water. The oxygen acts as an oxidising agent, lifting the stains within the tooth.
- Sensitivity is a normal feature of the tooth whitening process and usually only lasts for the duration of the treatment and a couple of days afterwards.
- The Tooth Whitening procedure will not change the colour of existing crown and bridge work or existing fillings. These may need changing if they are in an aesthetic zone.
- The Tooth Whitening Procedures works at different rates for different people and it is not possible to accurately predict the outcome of the procedure.
