Treatment
Teeth Whitening
Professional-strength whitening performed by a dentist. The most effective treatment for a brighter smile.
What is teeth whitening?
Professional teeth whitening uses hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide gels at concentrations not available over the counter to lighten the shade of your teeth by multiple levels. There are two main approaches: in-clinic laser or light-activated whitening (typically 1 to 2 hours in the chair), and take-home custom tray whitening (using trays made to your teeth, with results over 2 to 4 weeks). Many patients abroad combine whitening with veneer or crown work to achieve a complete aesthetic result.
Key benefits
- Immediate visible results
- Professional strength not available OTC
- Safe when performed by a dentist
- Often combined with other treatments
- Affordable even versus take-home kits
The procedure. what to expect
In-clinic whitening: A single 1 to 2 hour appointment. Your gums are protected, the gel is applied to your teeth, and a light is used to activate the whitening agent. Results are visible immediately. Take-home trays: Impressions are taken on day 1, trays are ready in 24 hours, and you are given the whitening gel and instructions to use at home.
Post-treatment care
Avoid dark-coloured foods and drinks (coffee, red wine, berries) for 48 hours after whitening. Your teeth may be sensitive for 24 to 48 hours. Results typically last 1 to 2 years with proper maintenance.

Teeth Whitening FAQ
Is whitening safe?
Yes, when performed by a qualified dentist at appropriate concentrations. Professional whitening is significantly safer than misused over-the-counter products. Your dentist will assess whether your teeth are suitable candidates for whitening at your initial consultation.
Will it work on crowns or veneers?
No. whitening does not affect ceramic, porcelain, or composite restorations. If you have crowns or veneers, whitening will lighten only your natural teeth, which may create a mismatch. If you are planning other restorative work, whitening should be done first so the shade of your restorations can be matched to your whitened teeth.
