Teeth Whitening
Dentist-supervised whitening that lifts staining evenly and safely, with custom trays made for your teeth.
Professional whitening uses a controlled concentration of whitening gel under dental supervision, which produces a more even result than over-the-counter products and lets us manage sensitivity.
We examine first: whitening works on natural tooth structure, not on crowns, veneers or fillings, so knowing what is in your smile shapes the plan.
Who this may help
- Teeth stained by coffee, tea, red wine or tobacco
- General yellowing that comes with age
- Patients preparing for an event
- Patients who found over-the-counter products uneven

Teeth Whitening: common questions
Is whitening safe for enamel?
Dentist-supervised whitening using professional products is well established and is not expected to damage enamel when used as directed.
How long do results last?
That varies with diet and habits. Many patients maintain their result with occasional short top-ups using their existing trays.
