Boosts Confidence
​Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to remove stains and discoloration from the teeth, resulting in a brighter and more radiant smile. Over time, teeth can become stained due to various factors such as consuming certain foods and drinks (like coffee, tea, and softdrinks), smoking, aging, and certain medications. Teeth whitening treatments use safe and effective bleaching agents to break down these stains and lighten the color of the teeth.
What Can You Expect?
We understand that undergoing your first teeth whitening procedure may seem like a daunting prospect, which is why we're here to break it down for you and get you excited for your brand new smile!
1
Initial Consultation
Your journey to a brighter smile begins with a thorough consultation. Our experienced dental team will assess your oral health, discuss your whitening goals, and determine the best treatment plan for you. We'll also explain the procedure in detail and answer any questions you may have.

Preparation
On the first appointment, we'll start by preparing your teeth. This will include a professional cleaning to remove any surface plaque and calculus, ensuring optimal results from the whitening treatment. We would also need to treat any cavities to prevent any adverse effects on those teeth.

​​​​​Post-Treatment Care
After your teeth whitening procedure, we'll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to maintain your new, bright smile. This includes tips on avoiding certain foods and beverages that can cause staining, as well as recommendations for maintaining excellent oral hygiene.

​Customised Treatment Plan
Based on your consultation, we will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Whether you opt for an in-office treatment for immediate results or a take-home kit for more gradual whitening, we will ensure the approach suits your lifestyle and preferences.​​​​

​​​​The Whitening Process
For in-office treatments, we use advanced whitening agents and technology to safely and effectively brighten your teeth. The procedure typically takes about 60-90 minutes, during which a protective barrier is applied to your gums, and the whitening gel is carefully placed on your teeth.​​
