Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening lightens the existing tooth colour without drilling the teeth. Suitability depends on oral health, existing restorations and the cause of staining.
Common questions
How does it work?
Whitening gel lightens the existing shade of the teeth.
Does it damage enamel?
When provided appropriately under professional supervision, whitening is a conservative cosmetic treatment.
How long does it take?
Times vary by system, though some in-surgery options take around an hour and home systems work over a longer period.
Will crowns or fillings whiten too?
No, restorations generally do not change colour like natural teeth.
