Bright natural smile after professional teeth whitening

Cosmetic Dentistry

Professional, dentist-supervised whitening that lifts years of staining while protecting your enamel.

Overview

What this treatment involves

Our whitening program uses custom-made trays and professional-strength gel, supervised by your dentist. Because the trays fit precisely, the gel stays where it should — giving even, natural-looking results with minimal sensitivity.

Benefits for you

  • Noticeably brighter smile in 2–3 weeks
  • Custom trays for even, streak-free results
  • You control the final shade
  • Trays can be reused for future top-ups

Who this treatment suits

Adults with healthy teeth and gums who would like a brighter, natural-looking smile — a check-up first confirms suitability.

Please note: Treatment suitability must be confirmed by a qualified dentist at an in-person clinical assessment. This website is for general information only and does not replace professional dental advice. Treatment suitability can only be confirmed after an in-person clinical assessment, and results vary between patients.

Step by Step

How your treatment unfolds

Treatment process

  1. 01

    Health check first

    We confirm your teeth and gums are healthy — whitening should only happen on a healthy mouth.

  2. 02

    Digital impressions

    A quick, comfortable digital scan — no messy putty.

  3. 03

    Custom trays and coaching

    You collect your precision-made trays with a full demonstration of how to use them.

  4. 04

    Review your result

    We check your progress, compare shades and advise on maintaining your new brightness.

Expected timeline: Most patients whiten at home for 2–3 weeks, wearing trays overnight or for a few hours each day.

Recovery & aftercare

  • Minimize staining foods and drinks during and just after treatment.
  • Use sensitivity toothpaste if teeth feel tender — this is temporary.
  • Follow the written aftercare guidance we send home with you.
  • Contact the clinic promptly if you notice unexpected pain, swelling or sensitivity.
  • Keep your scheduled review appointments so we can monitor healing.

Risks & considerations

  • Temporary sensitivity is the most common side effect and settles after treatment.
  • Whitening does not change the color of existing fillings, veneers or crowns.
  • All dental treatment carries some degree of risk, which your dentist will explain before you consent.
  • Temporary sensitivity or tenderness is common after many procedures.
  • Suitability must be confirmed at an in-person clinical assessment.
