Whitening with an oral health check
Professional whitening can lighten natural tooth colour and reduce certain stains. A dental examination first helps identify cavities, gum problems or restorations that need attention.
What we discuss
- Your current shade and desired level of brightness.
- Staining from food, drinks, tobacco or age.
- Sensitivity risks and realistic expectations.
- Care habits to help maintain the result.
Is teeth whitening permanent?
No. The result gradually changes with diet, habits and natural ageing. Good oral hygiene can help maintain it.
Can fillings and crowns be whitened?
Whitening affects natural tooth structure, not most existing restorations. Your dentist will explain how this affects your result.
