Teeth Whitening Treatment

A dazzling, white smile can transform your appearance and boost your confidence, making teeth whitening one of the most sought-after cosmetic dental treatments. Whether you’re dealing with stubborn stains from coffee or wine, or you simply want to revitalise your smile, professional teeth whitening offers a safe and effective solution.

Limitations of Whitening Products Not Issued By A Dental Proffesional

Over-the-counter (OTC) teeth whitening products, including strips, toothpaste, and whitening kits, are widely available and often marketed as cost-effective solutions. While they can offer mild improvement, their effectiveness is limited due to the following reasons:

  • Low Concentration of Active Ingredients

    OTC products typically contain a lower percentage of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide compared to professional treatments, making them less effective at removing deep stains.

  • Uneven Application

    Whitening strips and trays often do not fit snugly against the teeth, leading to patchy results.

  • Prolonged Use Required

    OTC products usually require weeks or even months of consistent use to produce noticeable results.

  • Potential for Sensitivity

    Without professional guidance, these products can lead to gum irritation or increased tooth sensitivity, especially if overused.

What Causes Tooth Discolouration?

Tooth discolouration can occur for a variety of reasons and is typically classified into two categories: extrinsic and intrinsic staining. Extrinsic stains are surface-level discolourations caused by external factors. Common culprits include the consumption of stain-inducing foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, red wine, and berries. Tobacco use is another significant contributor, often resulting in yellow or brown stains on the enamel. Additionally, poor oral hygiene can lead to the build-up of plaque and tartar, which further darken the appearance of teeth.

Intrinsic stains, on the other hand, occur deeper within the tooth and are often more challenging to treat. These stains can result from ageing, which naturally thins the enamel and reveals the yellowish dentin beneath.

Why Choose Our Whitening Treatment?

Professional teeth whitening performed by a dentist provides several advantages than over-the-counter (OTC) products, making it the preferred choice for achieving a brighter, more radiant smile. One key benefit is the customised treatment plan offered by dentists. They assess your oral health, identify the specific type and cause of discolouration, and tailor the treatment to meet your unique needs, ensuring optimal results.

​​​​​​​Additionally, Teeth Whitening products issued by a dental professional, delivers faster results thanks to the use of stronger whitening agents. In just one session, your teeth can be lightened by several shades, providing an instant confidence boost. We ensure the whitening agents are applied with precision, reducing the risk of gum irritation or tooth sensitivity that can occur with improper use of OTC products.
