Teeth Whitening

A brighter, more confident smile. Professional whitening safely lifts years of stains for results that over-the-counter kits simply can't match.

About Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening is one of the simplest, most effective ways to refresh your smile. Over time, coffee, tea, red wine, smoking and ageing dull and stain your enamel. Dentist-supervised whitening uses higher-strength, professional-grade gels to lift these stains safely and evenly, brightening your teeth several shades.

We offer both in-chair whitening for fast results in a single visit and custom take-home kits with personalised trays for whitening at your own pace — or a combination of the two. Because it's supervised by your dentist, we protect your gums, manage sensitivity and ensure your results look natural.

Is it right for you?

Whitening works best on healthy teeth and natural enamel stains. It won't change the colour of crowns, veneers or fillings. We'll check your suitability first — if you have decay or gum issues, we'll treat those before whitening.

Recovery & aftercare

Avoid strongly coloured food and drink for a couple of days after whitening, keep up good oral hygiene, and use take-home top-ups occasionally to maintain your results.

Frequently asked questions

Is teeth whitening safe?expand_more

Yes, when supervised by a dentist. We assess your teeth and gums first and manage sensitivity, making professional whitening both safe and effective.

How long do the results last?expand_more

Typically several months to a couple of years, depending on your diet and habits. Occasional take-home top-ups keep your smile bright.

Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?expand_more

Some people experience temporary sensitivity that settles quickly. Professional supervision lets us minimise and manage this.

Why not just use a shop-bought kit?expand_more

Over-the-counter kits are weaker, fit poorly and can cause uneven results or gum irritation. Professional whitening is stronger, safer and more effective.
