Tooth Whitening
Tooth whitening can rapidly transform your smile with stunning results. Having brighter, whiter teeth can make all the difference to your smile and wellbeing, helping you to look younger and boost your self confidence.
Also known as 'bleaching', tooth whitening is a highly popular and effective method of lightening the natural colour of your teeth. We use the whitening agent carbamide peroxide at a concentration that is not available in over-the-counter products and which can only be prescribed by a dental professional. Carbamide peroxide is totally safe and treatment is simple, effective with no unpleasant drills or injections.

What Does Treatment Involve?
During an initial consultation, the cause and nature of the tooth discolouration is investigated, and your dentist will provide more information on the whitening procedure, duration & frequency of treatment.
Using our iTero scanner a digital scan of your teeth is taken to custom-make the whitening trays so there is no need for messy impressions! When the trays are ready, a whitening gel is put inside the trays and worn for a few hours at night or during the day. Results are normally seen over 2-4 weeks and teeth will appear whiter and brighter.
Is Whitening Suitable for Everyone?
This smile enhancing treatment is suitable for most people; however, whitening is not effective on dental restorations such as composite fillings, crowns or veneers. The duration and results are usually dependent on the level of discolouration at the start of the process.
