Everyday habits such as drinking coffee, tea, or red wine, as well as aging, can gradually cause teeth to appear stained or dull.
Professional teeth whitening can help reduce the appearance of discolouration and gently lighten the shade of your teeth. Your dentist will assess whether whitening is suitable for you and explain what results you may realistically expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Teeth whitening works by using a bleaching solution to remove deep-seated stains and discoloration from your teeth. The active ingredient in the solution, typically hydrogen peroxide, oxidizes the stains and brightens the teeth.
When performed by a dental professional, teeth whitening is considered safe and effective. However, over-the-counter products can be damaging to your teeth and gums if used improperly. It’s important to only have teeth whitening performed by a dental professional.
During the consultation and assessment, we take time to check suitability for teeth whitening treatment, discuss the potential risks, considerations and lifestyle factors so patients can confidently make decisions about their oral health.
The duration of teeth whitening results can vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of whitening procedure, the severity of the stains, and your oral hygiene habits. On average, teeth whitening results last from six months to two years.
Some people may experience temporary tooth sensitivity after a teeth whitening procedure. This is typically mild and subsides within a day or two. Your dental professional can recommend products to help reduce sensitivity.
It’s best to avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after a teeth whitening procedure to allow the bleach to fully penetrate and whiten the teeth. Avoiding dark-colored foods and drinks, such as red wine and coffee, for the first 24 hours after the procedure can also help maintain the whiteness of your teeth.
