The Procedure
What to expect, step by step
- Step 1
Consultation & shade assessment
We examine your teeth and gums, record your current shade and discuss your goals. Whitening is only recommended when your mouth is healthy.
- Step 2
Professional cleaning
A scale and polish removes external stains and plaque so the whitening agent can work evenly across your enamel.
- Step 3
Whitening application
For in-office whitening, protective barriers are placed and whitening gel is applied in controlled sessions. For take-home kits, we fit your custom trays and explain how much gel to use and how long to wear them.
- Step 4
Aftercare & maintenance
You receive advice on foods and drinks to avoid for the first 48 hours, plus a maintenance plan to keep your smile bright for as long as possible.

FAQ
Common questions
Is professional whitening safe?
Yes, when supervised by a dentist. We protect your gums and use products at appropriate strengths. Sensitivity is usually mild and temporary.
How long do whitening results last?
Results typically last from six months to two years, depending on your diet and oral hygiene. Avoiding heavy staining foods and drinks helps maintain the result.
Will whitening work on crowns, veneers or fillings?
Whitening only changes natural tooth enamel. Crowns, veneers and fillings do not lighten, so we discuss matching options before treatment if needed.
Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients experience brief sensitivity during or after treatment. We use desensitising products and can adjust the concentration or wear time to keep you comfortable.
