Professional teeth whitening, without the guesswork.
In-clinic whitening lightens teeth using a controlled, dentist-supervised gel — stronger and more even than anything bought over the counter, with your gums properly protected.
How it works
Whitening gels use peroxide to break down the stains that build up inside enamel over years of coffee, tea, wine and smoking. In a clinic, a higher concentration is used safely because your gums are isolated and protected, and a professional controls the timing.
What to expect
Results vary with your starting shade and the type of staining. Whitening lifts natural stains well; it does not change the colour of crowns, veneers or fillings, which is why any cosmetic plan is sequenced carefully. Some people feel short-lived sensitivity afterwards, which settles within a day or two.
Results last longer if you limit staining foods and keep up good hygiene; a top-up is occasionally needed.
Frequently asked questions
Is professional whitening safe for enamel?
Used under professional supervision at appropriate concentrations, whitening does not damage enamel. Sensitivity, if any, is usually mild and temporary.
Why not just use strips from a shop?
Over-the-counter products are weaker and fit poorly, giving slower, patchier results. In-clinic whitening is stronger, more even, and protects your gums.
