Cosmetic

A brighter smile, professionally done

In-office and dentist-guided at-home whitening, with the shade matched to your goals.

Professional whitening can lighten your teeth by several shades in a single session.

Our treatments use advanced, safe bleaching agents to lift stains and lighten tooth colour. We provide both in-office and at-home options, so you can choose the method that fits your schedule.

Why teeth discolour

What whitening is treating

  • Diet

    Dietary habits — coffee, tea, red wine — are among the most common causes of staining over time.

  • Tobacco use

    Tobacco is a significant contributor to discoloration and one of the harder stains to shift.

  • Natural ageing

    Teeth darken naturally with age as enamel thins and the dentine beneath shows through.

  • Existing dental work

    Whitening works on natural enamel. It does not change the colour of crowns, veneers, fillings or bonding, so shade-matching order matters.

The process

From consultation to follow-up

  1. Consultation

    We evaluate your oral health, discuss your whitening goals and determine the most suitable option for you.

  2. A tailored plan

    We select the whitening method and the target shade, taking into account the cause of discoloration and any existing restorations.

  3. Treatment

    In-office, professional-grade gel is applied and activated with light in timed intervals. At home, you are given custom-fitted trays, professional-strength gel and instructions.

  4. Aftercare and follow-up

    Guidance on what to avoid immediately afterwards, how to manage any temporary sensitivity, and a follow-up to check the result.

Questions about whitening

Professional treatment can lighten teeth by several shades in a single session, erasing years of stains and discoloration.

We provide both, so you can choose the method that best fits your schedule and preferences. We will recommend one at your consultation.

Whitening is one of the least invasive cosmetic procedures available. Unlike treatments that alter tooth structure, it simply brightens the teeth you already have.

No. Whitening works on natural tooth enamel and does not change the colour of crowns, veneers, fillings or bonding. That is why whitening is usually completed before new restorations are shade-matched.
