Whiter teeth.
Teeth whitening is the fastest and easiest way to enhance your natural smile, helping you feel more confident in your daily activities. It’s a safe, proven method to achieve brighter, healthier-looking teeth. By choosing professional care, you ensure the best possible results, with a noticeably brighter smile in as little as one appointment.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Everyone’s teeth are unique—factors such as age, lifestyle, diet, medications, and more influence the condition of your teeth and gums. A whitening product that works well for one person might not deliver the same results for you. In fact, some store-bought products can even cause damage to your gums.
Choosing professional teeth whitening offers several advantages over off-the-shelf alternatives:
- Based on Your Needs: When you visit us for teeth whitening, we take the time to understand your concerns about your teeth’s appearance, what you hope to achieve, and your expectations. After a detailed assessment of your teeth and gums, we recommend the most suitable whitening procedure tailored to your goals and oral health.
- Performed by Experts: Our dentists are trained specifically in teeth-whitening techniques and products. They follow all safety protocols and perform the procedure with expertise to ensure your safety and comfort.
- Dramatic Improvement: We use a prescription-grade bleaching solution that includes some of the most effective whitening agents available, delivering noticeable results.
- Immediate Results: Professional teeth whitening can deliver exceptional outcomes in as little as one hour.
- Even Whitening: Over-the-counter products, like whitening strips, often result in uneven coverage, leaving parts of your teeth untreated. Our dentists are skilled at providing uniform whitening across all angles and surfaces of your teeth.
- Increased Comfort: Our whitening process incorporates the use of a laser to minimize sensitivity and reduce the risk of gum irritation, ensuring a comfortable experience.
Only a qualified dentist can assess and recommend the safest and most effective whitening procedure for your needs. Contact us today!

When to whiten?
As our dentists will tell you, teeth whitening will not change the appearance of crowns, bridges, veneers and fillings. Therefore, we recommend whitening first when crowns, fillings or veneers will be needed in the not-too-distant future. Our dentists can then match the colour of later dental work to your whitened teeth.
Professional teeth whitening can remove stains and discoloration from the tooth surface and the area deep within in.

Why Teeth Become Stained or Discoloured?
Surface Stains: Teeth are protected by enamel, a mineral-rich layer that is the hardest substance in the human body.
However, enamel is also porous, containing tiny pores that can absorb stain-causing substances, including:
- Dark-coloured drinks like tea, coffee, wine, colas, and fruit juices.
- Dark sauces such as tomato sauce and soy sauce.
- Sugary beverages and foods.
- Brightly coloured fruits like berries, cherries, and pomegranates.
- Tobacco products.
- Inadequate nutrition and poor oral hygiene can also contribute to tooth discolouration.
Deep Stains: Discolouration can also affect the inner layer of your teeth, which lies beneath the enamel. This deeper layer is naturally yellow or grey in colour. As you age, enamel wears down, allowing the underlying hue to show through, giving teeth a dull or lacklustre appearance. Additionally, medications, illnesses, and injuries can lead to discolouration of the inner tooth layer.

Top Teeth Whitening Options
Teeth whitening is an effective way to brighten your natural smile without relying on more invasive procedures like veneers. Whether you choose an in-office treatment or follow the instructions with your take-home kit, you can expect noticeable results with minimal sensitivity.
Professional Whitening Treatment
For most patients, the best way to whiten teeth is with a professional in-office treatment. During the procedure, a bleaching solution is applied to your teeth using custom-fitted trays. Once the trays are in place, a laser is used to gently heat the solution, activating oxygen molecules that penetrate the enamel to lift stains. Laser teeth whitening delivers immediate results and can also reduce the risk of sensitivity and gum irritation.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kit
For those who prefer the convenience and privacy of home, we offer custom take-home whitening kits. These kits come with trays designed to fit the natural contours of your teeth, ensuring even and complete whitening of your enamel. Unlike store-bought kits, our trays are custom-moulded to your teeth, which helps reduce the risk of sensitivity and gum irritation. Take-home kits gradually brighten your enamel over the course of three to four weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Plaque forms when food and drink particles aren’t properly removed from your teeth. If left unchecked, plaque eventually hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dentist or hygienist. This yellowish layer can develop on or around your teeth if brushing isn’t done frequently or thoroughly enough.
Teeth whitening is generally safe, though some people may experience tooth sensitivity, especially during the first couple of treatments. This sensitivity often subsides over time. It’s important to follow the instructions that come with your take-home kit or any over-the-counter products carefully.
Teeth whitening is typically not covered by insurance. To confirm your coverage, it’s best to check with your insurance provider. We can provide a cost estimate for you to submit for potential reimbursement.
After undergoing teeth whitening, it’s advisable to avoid foods and drinks that could stain light-coloured fabrics. This includes dark-coloured drinks like tea, coffee, red wine, coloured soft or alcoholic beverages, and fruit juices. Also, avoid foods such as tomato sauce, curry, soy sauce, red meat, chocolate, and all fruits except bananas.
The longevity of your teeth whitening results depends on the type of treatment and how well you care for your teeth. Whitening effects can last anywhere from 6 months to up to 3 years.
