What is teeth whitening?
Whitening lightens natural tooth colour. It does not lighten crowns, veneers or other replacement teeth in the same way.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening lightens tooth colour. Discuss suitable methods, expectations and care with your dentist before choosing treatment.
Discuss teeth whitening
02
Assessment first
Your dentist checks your teeth and gums before recommending whitening. Discuss existing restorations and the colour change you would like to achieve.
03
Application options
Whitening may be carried out in a dental surgery or using dentist-provided trays and gel. Your clinician explains the suitable method and instructions.
04
Sensitivity and maintenance
Temporary sensitivity and gum irritation can occur. Results are not permanent. Follow your dentist’s advice rather than assuming a guaranteed shade or duration.
05
What your quote should explain
Ask which method is included, whether trays or further sessions are part of the cost and who will review any concerns afterwards.
06
Questions for your clinician
Ask which method is suitable, what sensitivity or other limitations to expect, and how existing restorations affect the plan.
QUESTIONS
A little more clarity.
Can the same whitening method be used for everyone?
Your dentist assesses suitability, discusses methods and explains what changes can reasonably be expected for your teeth.
Will whitening change the colour of my crowns?
Whitening works on natural teeth, not replacement restorations in the same way. Discuss colour differences with your dentist.
Are whitening results permanent?
No. Discuss care and any future review or repeat treatment with your dentist rather than relying on a fixed duration.
