Professional Dental Grade Teeth Whitening That Works

What Is Dental Whitening And When To Use It

Tooth whitening can be a very effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without removing any of the tooth surfaces. It lightens the existing shade and helps to remove stains and discolouration. We offer an at-home whitening kit by wearing a whitening tray with whitening gels which means you can whiten your teeth gradually in the comfort of your own home!

Dental whitening may be a good solution if your teeth are discoloured or if you’re not satisfied with the shade of your teeth and want to brighten and enhance your smile.

Teeth Whitening Myth Busters

  • Is it safe?

    The safest way to whiten teeth is by using gel prescribed by a dental professional.

    Whitening products you can buy outside of your orthodontist or dentist only contain 0.1% hydrogen peroxide and minimal active ingredients to whiten your teeth.

    Some products don’t contain any whitening ingredients and contain harmful ingredients such as lemon juice, citric acid and bicarbonate soda to dissolve stains which can be damaging to teeth in the long term.

  • Is it harmful?

    Hydrogen peroxide – why is this not harmful?

    Professional products contain safe levels of hydrogen peroxide, which are more effective, gentle on enamel and custom-made.

    How does it work? The tooth absorbs the hydrogen peroxide and breaks down the colour molecule to turn the tooth white from the inside and remove the stains from the outside.
