Teeth whitening
A lighter shade, with professional supervision and expectations suited to your natural tooth colour.
Request an assessment
ILLUSTRATIVE IMAGEWhat does it involve?
Whitening acts on discolouration in natural teeth using specific products. Decay, gums, sensitivity and restorations must first be assessed. Depending on the indication, a protocol may involve treatment in the clinic, supervised trays at home or a combination. Whitening does not change tooth shape or position, and does not lighten crowns or fillings.
Care today. Smile tomorrow.
A supervised plan
Preserving tooth shape
Is it right for you?
Whitening may suit adults with a healthy mouth who want lighter teeth. Some discolouration responds less well; assessment helps identify this and explain alternatives.
A plan you can understand.
Assessment and initial shade
We check oral health and the cause of discolouration.
A tailored protocol
We select the technique and provide product-use instructions.
Review the outcome
We assess shade, sensitivity and maintenance.
Aftercare and points to consider
Transient sensitivity or irritation may occur. Do not increase your dose or time of use on your own. Abrasive products or home remedies do not replace supervised treatment.
What can teeth whitening change?
Cleaning and whitening have different objectives
Removing deposits and surface stains differs from lightening the tooth’s underlying colour. Before choosing a procedure, identify the cause of discolouration. A check-up can also reveal problems that need care before whitening is considered.
Not all teeth respond the same
The starting shade and type of discolouration influence the change achievable. Fillings, crowns and veneers retain their colour. Goals should be individualised, particularly where restorations are visible alongside natural teeth.
Supervision matters for home treatment too
A dentist-prescribed home protocol uses the recommended product and trays with specific instructions. More gel or longer use is not a safe way to speed up results. Ask how to adapt the plan if discomfort occurs.
Colour can change again over time
Results are not permanent. Smoking and certain drinks can cause further staining. Cleaning and reviews support health and assessment of colour. Touch-ups should be supervised, rather than automatically repeated according to a commercial schedule.

Your questions,
clearly answered.
Information to help you feel more at ease before your appointment.
01Will whitening lighten fillings and crowns?
No. Restorations do not change colour like natural teeth and may need a later cosmetic assessment.
02How many shades lighter will my teeth become?
A fixed number cannot be promised. The response depends on the starting colour and type of discolouration.
03Can whitening cause sensitivity?
Yes, usually temporarily. The protocol may need adjusting; seek advice if sensitivity is severe.
04Is whitening carried out during pregnancy?
As an elective treatment, it is usually postponed. Tell the team if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
05Can a single dark tooth be treated?
The reason it has darkened needs investigation. A root-treated tooth may require a different approach.
06How long does the result last?
Habits, staining and ageing influence the result. Maintenance is considered individually.
07Can I use products bought online?
Avoid unsupervised treatments or products of uncertain composition. An initial check helps prevent inappropriate use.
08How is suitability assessed?
This page provides general guidance. During your consultation, we review your history, examine your mouth and recommend investigations if needed. We explain the alternatives before a decision is made.
09Can I see a cost estimate before starting?
Yes. After diagnosis, we explain the proposed plan and cost estimate, including its stages and what is covered. The price depends on your needs, rather than the treatment name alone.
