Over time, it is normal for teeth to become stained or discoloured from the aging process or from consuming certain foods and drinks. Teeth whitening is one of the most simple and popular cosmetic dental procedures to restore the appearance of affected teeth, enhancing your confidence and self-esteem.
Some of the reasons people whiten their teeth:
There are two main ways to whiten your teeth; you can receive a professional treatment by a dentist, or do it at home with custom trays and a whitening kit.
Prior to commencing whitening treatment, we will thoroughly assess your teeth and gums to make sure it’s safe to go ahead with the procedure as want to avoid teeth whitening agents going into any existing cavities in the teeth, which can cause discomfort or pain.
We also recommend a professional cleaning to remove any plaque, debris, and stains on your teeth if it hasn’t already been done recently. This is to help you get the most out of your whitening.
