We recommend that patients have a professional clean prior to using teeth whitening treatment. This allows us to remove any surface staining so that the whitening is uniform across each tooth. Our dentists will also ensure that your teeth are suitable for whitening as existing fillings or crowns may affect the results. We will then make custom whitening trays that ensure that the gel stays in contact with your teeth. We will also demonstrate the relevant techniques and steps for at home whitening.

Patients typically whiten their teeth for two hours each day for 1 to 2 weeks until they achieve the colour they desire. It is important to note that whitening is not permanent as your teeth will naturally change over time. Most patients will aim to whiten their teeth for 1 to 2 days every 6 – 12 months. We recommend booking your 6 monthly check up and clean immediately before you whiten your teeth to ensure the best results.
