Before you decide
Know what can change
Whitening can lighten natural tooth colour. Crowns, veneers and tooth-coloured fillings do not whiten in the same way, so an existing colour match may change.
Tell us about visible restorations before starting. We can discuss the sequence of any whitening and other cosmetic work, including whether replacing a restoration is appropriate.
Illustration of materials, not a predicted shade change.
KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT
Whitening changes the colour of natural enamel. It does not change fillings, crowns or veneers.
WHITENING MAY HELP WITH
01
Staining from coffee, tea or red wine.
02
Teeth that have darkened gradually.
03
Lightening several natural teeth together.
WHITENING WON’T FIX
Your dentist will explain which treatment suits the problem.
Find your pace
Compare where treatment happens and what each approach asks of you. Your dentist helps you choose after an assessment.
OPTION 1
Whitening gel is applied during a clinical appointment, with the team monitoring treatment and comfort. Ask about the appointment length and any preparation you need.
OPTION 2
Custom-fitted trays and prescribed whitening gel let you follow a dentist-directed course at home. Use only the amount, frequency and wear time recommended for you.
Tray fit, consistency and how to get support
Both options need an oral-health check. Neither guarantees a particular shade or a permanent result.
HOW WHITENING WORKS
Whitening lightens natural enamel. It starts with a check that your teeth and gums are healthy.
01
Your current shade is recorded so you can compare results.
02
Gel is applied in the chair or at home with custom trays.
03
Care at home and occasional top-ups help results last.
What to expect
Discuss staining, sensitivity and the health of your teeth and gums.
Book online01
Discuss staining, sensitivity and the health of your teeth and gums.
02
Record your starting shade and compare treatment choices and costs.
03
Follow your agreed in-chair or custom-tray whitening plan.
04
Discuss the response, comfort and ongoing care with your dentist.
Good to know
Discolouration has different causes. Decay, gum problems or a single dark tooth may need other care first. Discuss pregnancy, breastfeeding and any existing dental concerns at your assessment.
Temporary sensitivity or gum irritation can occur. If treatment causes discomfort, stop and contact the team for advice before continuing. More gel or longer wear is not better.
Ask what your quote includes: assessment, treatment, trays where relevant and follow-up. Cosmetic whitening may not be covered by your health fund; check your own policy.
CROWNS, VENEERS OR FILLINGS AT THE FRONT?
We plan the shade so your restorations still match after whitening.
