Frequently Asked Questions
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes. When carried out by a qualified dentist using professionally regulated products, teeth whitening is a safe and well-established treatment. We always assess your teeth first to make sure whitening is appropriate for you.
Will whitening work on crowns, veneers or fillings?
Whitening gel only works on natural tooth enamel, so existing dental work won’t change colour. If this is a concern, we’ll discuss your options at consultation and can advise on achieving a consistent result.
How long do results last?
Results typically last 6-12 months with good oral hygiene and avoiding excessive staining foods and drinks. We can provide top-up gel to maintain your results over time.
Is there any sensitivity?
Some patients experience mild, temporary sensitivity during or after treatment. We use desensitising agents to minimise this and will adjust the treatment protocol if needed.
Who is suitable for whitening?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are suitable candidates. We recommend postponing whitening if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. A consultation with one of our dentists will confirm suitability.
