The process
Discuss what you'd like to achieve with whitening.
The dentist checks your teeth and gums.
Together you decide whether whitening is appropriate.
The selected whitening approach is carried out.
You receive guidance on maintaining the result.
The approach and number of visits depend on your case. No specific shade can be guaranteed.
Some people experience temporary tooth or gum sensitivity with whitening. This varies between individuals and depends on the whitening approach and your teeth.
If sensitivity is significant or doesn't settle, contact a dental professional.
Whitening results are not necessarily permanent and can change over time. Factors include:
Cost
The cost of teeth whitening depends on the approach and your individual case. We explain the cost after assessment, before treatment begins. Message or call us to ask about the current price.
Whitening affects natural tooth structure differently from many restorations. Existing fillings, crowns, bridges and veneers may not change colour in the same way as natural teeth.
This is an important practical consideration before cosmetic whitening, and something your dentist can discuss with you.
