Professional whitening uses stronger, clinically-proven whitening agents that deliver superior results safely and predictably. Over-the-counter products contain much weaker ingredients and often produce disappointing results.
Custom-fitted trays ensure even whitening and prevent gel from irritating your gums. You wear the trays for 1-4 hours daily (or overnight, depending on the gel strength) for 2-3 weeks. This method provides excellent, long-lasting results with minimal sensitivity.
For faster results, in-surgery whitening uses a higher concentration gel applied in our practice. The treatment takes about 60-90 minutes and can brighten your teeth by several shades in a single visit.
Results typically last 12-24 months, depending on your diet and habits. Avoiding staining foods and drinks (coffee, red wine, tea) and not smoking helps maintain your brighter smile. Periodic touch-ups keep your smile looking its best.
When performed under dental supervision, whitening is completely safe. It does not damage tooth enamel or weaken teeth. Some people experience temporary sensitivity, which resolves quickly and can be minimised with desensitising treatments.
