PATIENT GUIDE
Explore professional whitening options, what to expect at your visit, and how to care for your smile afterwards.
Coffee, tea, tobacco and ageing can change the colour of your teeth. Professional whitening aims to lighten stains, but the right approach depends on your teeth, gums and the cause of discolouration.
At your consultation, your dentist checks your oral health and current shade, discusses your goals and explains what whitening can realistically achieve.
Treatment is carried out at the clinic, with your dentist assessing your teeth and guiding the process.
Custom trays and a dentist-prescribed whitening gel allow treatment at home, following your individual instructions.
Your dentist reviews your teeth, gums, existing restorations and the source of staining.
Discuss the treatment options, expected shade change and whether any dental care is needed first.
Follow your dentist’s treatment and aftercare advice, with a review of the result and any sensitivity.
Healthy teeth and gums are an important starting point. Decay or gum problems may need treatment before whitening, and some types of internal discolouration respond differently.
Tell your dentist about existing fillings, crowns or veneers so they can explain how these may affect the overall appearance. Temporary sensitivity can occur; your dentist can advise on managing it.
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, clean between your teeth and attend your regular dental visits. Limiting tobacco and staining drinks can help maintain the result.
Ask your dentist whether a future touch-up is appropriate and follow their advice on timing and products.
