What the treatment is
Professional teeth whitening uses dental-grade whitening agents to lighten the shade of natural teeth, carried out in the clinic or with custom trays made for home use under supervision.
Who may need it
It is considered by patients who want a lighter tooth shade. A check-up first confirms that the teeth and gums are healthy and identifies staining that whitening cannot change.
General overview
The gums are protected and the whitening agent is applied for a controlled time. Existing crowns, veneers, and fillings do not lighten, so the dentist will explain how the result may look overall.
What to expect
Temporary sensitivity is common and usually settles within a few days. Results vary between individuals and can be affected by staining foods, drinks, and tobacco.
