Teeth whitening removes the internal and external discolouration in enamel and dentin, lifting your natural tone. Performed in the clinic with laser or at home with a custom tray — safely.
Coffee, tea, red wine, smoking and aging dim your teeth's natural brightness over years. Whitening removes these stains without thinning enamel; it restores your own colour.
Anyone with healthy teeth is a candidate. Cavities, gum inflammation, or existing crowns/veneers change the plan. During the exam we simulate how much lift is realistic for you.
Knowing the cause picks the right treatment. There are two types of staining.
We pick the right method during the exam. The best result in most cases comes from a combined approach.
Gums are isolated, a high-concentration gel is applied and activated with LED or laser. Visible result in a single session — 30-60 minutes.
We take impressions and fabricate a custom transparent tray. You apply a gentler gel at home for 1-2 weeks.
Rapid start in the clinic, maintenance at home. The longest-lasting, whitest result comes from this combination.
For a single root-canal-treated, darkened tooth. Whitening agent is placed inside the tooth; 2-3 sessions bring a striking match.
On the Vita shade guide, a typical patient lifts about 8 shades. Clinical example range.
What to expect during a single session, minute by minute.
Your starting shade is noted on the Vita scale. Cavities and sensitivity are checked.
Tartar and surface stains are removed. This step alone can lift 1-2 shades.
A resin barrier protects your gums. Sensitivity minimised.
35-40% hydrogen peroxide gel is applied and activated with LED/laser. 3 × 15 minutes.
New shade is recorded. A fluoride gel prevents sensitivity. The first look in the mirror.
Enamel tubules stay open for 48 hours after whitening — anything coloured can penetrate. The first two days are critical.
Your habits decide. With easy maintenance, it stretches for years.
Typically 1-2 years. Longer for non-smokers and those who limit staining foods.
One week of overnight tray wear at home stretches results for years. A 30-minute in-office refresh is another option.
Soft brush + whitening paste 2-3 times a week. Hard brushing and abrasive pastes do the opposite.
