The Science of Teeth Whitening
Trusted Treatment, Backed by Research
How Whitening Works
Teeth whitening uses carefully prescribed gels that release oxygen to gently break down stains within the tooth. This process lightens the shade of natural enamel over time. The treatment is always tailored by your dental professional to suit your individual needs.
Why Professional Care Matters
Only a dental professional can assess your teeth and gums to confirm whitening is suitable for you. They will design a plan that is safe, comfortable, and realistic for your goals.
Whitening outside a dental setting – such as in beauty salons or online kits – is not regulated and may risk harm to your teeth and gums.
Whitening Is More Than Just Gel
Great whitening results rely not only on the gel but also on the way treatment is delivered.
Professionally fitted whitening trays and personalised instructions help ensure the gel stays in contact with your teeth for the right amount of time, while reducing the risk of sensitivity.
Safe, Gradual, and Monitored
Whitening does not happen in a single session. Just like building fitness takes time, whitening works gradually with consistent use. Your dental professional will monitor your progress and support you throughout the process.
Individual Outcomes
Everyone’s teeth respond differently. Factors such as age, lifestyle, diet, and existing dental work all play a role in the final outcome. Crowns, fillings, and veneers will not change colour during whitening. Your dental professional will explain what results you can expect.
Important Note: Teeth whitening should only be carried out under the supervision of registered dental professional. Results vary between individuals.
