Teeth Whitening
A supervised in-clinic treatment to lighten tooth colour
Overview
Teeth whitening lightens your natural tooth colour under supervision. We first examine and clean your teeth and check that whitening is suitable. An in-clinic session takes about 45 minutes, and darker stains may need 2-3 sessions.
Teeth can darken with age, coffee, tea, cola, smoking, trauma and certain medicines. Cutting back on these helps the result last. Temporary sensitivity to hot and cold can occur afterwards. Crowns and fillings do not change colour with whitening.
