How it works.
What to expect, start to finish.
We protect your gums, apply a professional-strength gel and activate it in three short cycles; the visit takes about an hour. You leave with custom trays and a top-up gel, and any sensitivity settles within a day or two. Your dentist examines your teeth and gums, takes any imaging needed and talks through the options; diagnosis and an itemized cost are confirmed at that visit.

Good to know.
Will whitening work on crowns or veneers?
No. Whitening changes natural enamel only; your dentist checks existing restorations first so the shades match.
How long does it last?
One to three years depending on diet; your take-home trays keep it topped up.
Questions worth bringing.
- How will the dentist assess discoloration, sensitivity and oral health before discussing whitening?
- How could crowns, veneers or fillings affect the appearance of a whitening result?
- Which product risks, limitations, alternatives and follow-up should be included in the discussion?
