Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening can reduce stains and brighten your smile. Results vary depending on tooth condition, enamel quality, and the cause of discolouration.

Causes of discolouration

  • Food and drink staining (coffee/tea/wine) 
  • Smoking 
  • Natural ageing 
  • Certain medications or trauma (case-dependent)

Whitening suitability assessment

We check:

  • Gum health and decay risk 
  • Existing crowns/fillings (these do not whiten) 
  • Sensitivity risk and enamel wear 
  • Expected outcomes and maintenance 

What to expect

  • Recommended whitening approach based on suitability 
  • Guidance to reduce sensitivity risk 
  • Advice on maintaining results 

FAQs

Will whitening work on crowns or fillings?

No — restorations don’t whiten; we plan around this for consistency. 

Is whitening safe?

When done appropriately with guidance, it is generally considered safe for suitable patients.
