Tooth Whitening (Bleaching)

As you get older, your teeth become darker. Drinking tea, coffee or red wine and smoking may also stain your teeth. Dark teeth can make you look older and bleaching is a very effective way of lightening the natural tooth colour, without removing any tooth surface. It can make a noticeable difference to your smile and our patients often go several shades lighter. Whitening will help you feel younger and more confident when you smile.

We can assess you to see if you are suitable for treatment. Professional or in-office bleaching with Zoom being the most common procedure, but home bleaching is also available. You should always have your dentist supervise any type of bleaching and advise you what would be suitable.

Professional or in-office Bleaching can be done in about an hour, but a combination of this and home bleaching will give the best results.

We take impressions of your teeth to have custom trays made to fit perfectly onto your teeth. Depending on which treatment option you choose, we will show you how to apply the whitening gel in the trays and we will instruct you how to carry out the treatment and aftercare at home.
