The Teeth Whitening Process
Clinical Assessment
Your dentist examines teeth and gums to ensure whitening is safe. Whitening is not recommended if you have untreated decay, active gum disease, exposed dentine causing sensitivity, or certain internal stains. Necessary preliminary care may be recommended first.
Preparation
Your teeth are professionally cleaned if required to remove surface plaque and debris. During treatment, the gums are protected with a barrier to prevent irritation.
Whitening Application
The whitening gel is applied evenly to the teeth, either in-chair for immediate results, via custom take-home trays, or a combination approach.
Monitoring
During in-chair treatment, your dentist monitors progress to ensure even whitening and comfort.
Post-Treatment Guidance
After whitening, mild sensitivity is normal. Your dentist will provide instructions to maintain results, including care for the first 24–48 hours and when to schedule follow-up treatments or touch-ups.
Teeth Whitening Aftercare Tips
To maximise results and minimise sensitivity after whitening:
- For the first 24 to 48 hours, stay away from stain-causing foods and beverages, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and dark sauces.
- Maintain regular oral hygiene by gently brushing and flossing daily.
- Use desensitising toothpaste if mild sensitivity occurs.
- Follow your dentist’s instructions for any take-home whitening trays.
- Attend routine dental check-ups and professional dental cleanings to prolong results.
Ideal Candidates
Teeth whitening may be suitable for:
- Adults with healthy teeth and gums seeking a brighter smile
- Patients with surface or lifestyle-related stains
- Those preparing for cosmetic procedures, like veneers or bonding
It may not be suitable for:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding patients
- Children or adolescents
- Individuals with significant intrinsic staining or large visible restorations
A consultation ensures whitening is safe and appropriate for you.
Investment in Professional Whitening
The cost of teeth whitening depends on:
- The whitening system selected
- Whether in-chair or take-home treatment is chosen
- Individual clinical needs
We encourage you to book a consultation to receive an accurate assessment and a treatment plan tailored to your smile goals.
