A full dental check-up is required to ensure all patients are dentally fit and have good oral health. To ensure there are no cavities, gum disease or issues with your teeth and fillings to determine and maximise the teeth whitening procedure.
Some patients may experience some sensitivity from the whitening treatment.

Home tooth whitening studies show that it tends to last for up to 2 years. Top-ups are then required to maintain a bright, white smile and this is normally done using your customised teeth whitening trays and tooth-whitening gel. The amount you will require to top up will depend on your diet as those who have more tea/coffee/red wine or smoke will find the shade of the teeth will darken again sooner.

In-surgery tooth whitening on its own does not always produce lasting results so is not recommended on its own.

The best short term results are achieved by using a combination of In-surgery tooth whitening and home tooth whitening.

Teeth whitening is safe for your teeth and your health. You may experience teeth sensitivity as a side effect for a short period of time while whitening your teeth, however, this will disappear.

Your teeth are more susceptible to staining after whitening your teeth. It is highly recommended to avoid staining food and drink after the first three days.

After whitening your teeth, you should avoid foods that stain your teeth for three days. This includes sugary food, dark coloured liquids (such as coffee, red wine), food with natural or added colourants, and food that would typically stain a white shirt.

Yellow teeth can become whiter. Sometimes if you do not feel you have reached the target shade further whitening gels can be purchased to continue the whitening process at home.
