What it is
Cosmetic, not clinical.
This is a cosmetic whitening treatment for natural tooth enamel. It is not dental care, it does not treat any dental condition, and it does not replace seeing a dentist — if you are overdue a check-up, that comes first.
What whitening can change
- General yellowing of natural enamel
- Everyday staining from coffee, tea and red wine
- Dulling that has come on gradually with age
What it cannot
- Crowns, veneers, bonding or white fillings
- Staining caused by medication or injury — ask your dentist
- Anything underneath the enamel, including decay
If most of your front teeth are dental work, whitening will not do much except change what surrounds it. We will tell you that before you book, not after.
Afterwards
The first day matters most.
Straight after treatment, teeth pick up colour more easily than usual. Keeping away from coffee, tea, red wine, dark sauces and smoking for the first day or so protects the result far more than anything else you can do. Beyond that, how long it lasts comes down to ordinary habits.
Common questions
Answers before you book.
Should I see a dentist first?
If you are due a check-up, yes — go first. Whitening sits on top of whatever is already there, so untreated decay, a cracked filling or inflamed gums are all better dealt with beforehand. This is a cosmetic service, not dental treatment, and it is not a substitute for seeing a dentist.
Will it whiten crowns, veneers or fillings?
No. Whitening works on natural tooth enamel, and dental work does not respond to it. If you have visible crowns, veneers or white fillings at the front, they will stay the shade they are — which can leave them looking darker or lighter than the teeth around them. Worth thinking about before booking, and worth raising with your dentist.
Is it going to make my teeth sensitive?
Some sensitivity during and shortly after treatment is common, and it usually settles within a day or two. If you already have sensitive teeth, say so beforehand so it can be taken into account. Sensitivity that is severe or does not settle is worth a call to your dentist.
How long does the appointment take?
Allow about an hour. Most of that is the treatment itself, with time at the start to talk through your expectations and check whether whitening is a sensible option for you at all.
What should I avoid afterwards?
For the first day or so, teeth take on colour more readily than usual — so coffee, tea, red wine, dark sauces, berries and smoking are all worth avoiding. You will get specific aftercare guidance before you leave. Beyond that, results depend heavily on your ordinary habits.
How white will my teeth get?
That depends on your starting shade and what caused the discolouration, and it is not something anyone can promise in advance. Natural yellowing generally responds better than grey tones or staining from medication. We would rather set a realistic expectation at the start than have you leave disappointed.
