A brighter smile, looked after by your dentist.

How does professional teeth whitening work?

Professional whitening uses a regulated whitening gel applied under the guidance of your dentist. The gel lifts staining from coffee, tea, red wine and everyday life, and the result is more even than most shop-bought kits because it is applied in a controlled way.

We start with a check-up. Whitening is only advised on healthy teeth and gums, and any decay or gum problems are treated first.

Whitening may suit you if

• Your teeth have darkened through food, drink or age.
• You would like a brighter smile before an event, or before cosmetic work.
• Your teeth and gums are healthy.
• You want advice from a dentist rather than trying kits at home.
