Whitening
Professional whitening for a brighter smile, planned around your teeth.
PROFESSIONAL TEETH WHITENING
Brighten.
Not reinvent.
Teeth naturally change colour over time. Coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, foods, age and other factors can all contribute to staining or a darker tooth shade.
Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment designed to reduce appropriate tooth discoloration and brighten the natural appearance of your smile.

WHY PROFESSIONAL WHITENING?
Whitening starts with knowing what you are treating.
Not every dark or discoloured tooth responds to whitening in the same way. That is why professional treatment begins with an assessment rather than simply applying whitening material.
01
Assess your oral health
Your dentist can look for cavities, gum concerns, sensitivity and other issues that may need attention before cosmetic whitening begins.
02
Evaluate your starting shade
Your existing tooth shade and the type of discoloration help guide expectations and the whitening approach.
03
Protect the surrounding tissues
During in-office whitening, appropriate isolation and protective measures are used around the gums and soft tissues.
04
Whiten with professional supervision
Whitening material is applied according to the treatment selected for your teeth, with the response monitored throughout the appointment.
WHAT WHITENING CHANGES
Natural teeth and restorations behave differently.
Whitening is intended to change the shade of natural tooth structure. Existing crowns, veneers, bridges and tooth-coloured fillings generally do not whiten in the same way.
If you have restorations in a visible area, their colour may need to be considered when planning your final result.
THINKING BEYOND WHITENING?
Shade is only one part of a smile.
If your concerns also include shape, chips, gaps, alignment or existing restorations, a broader cosmetic consultation may be more useful than whitening alone.
AFTER YOUR WHITENING VISIT
Keep the brightness going.
Your dentist will provide guidance based on the whitening treatment you receive. Maintaining good oral hygiene and being mindful of foods, drinks and habits that contribute to staining can help preserve your result.
Coffee, tea, red wine and strongly pigmented foods can contribute to new surface staining over time. Regular cleanings are also an important part of maintaining the health and appearance of your smile.
YOUR SMILE, IN CONTEXT
Sometimes a small change is enough.
For some patients, whitening is the only cosmetic change they want. For others, it becomes one part of a larger conversation about alignment, veneers, bonding or restorative dentistry.
