Tooth whitening is a process of permanently
brightening the colour of teeth. Under the supervision of your dentist, the
system process we use involves wearing a custom made tray which will hold
gel against your teeth, usually overnight (or for some period during your
day). This system has been proven effective on tens of thousands of smiles,
and will give you permanent brighter smile.

The gel is provided in syringes for easy application.
As this treatment is carried out by you, in the comfort of your own home,
you are in control. Whitening will be achieved gradually with your dentist
reviewing your progress during treatment.
Depending on the degree of whitening you wish to achieve, the process can take,
on average, between 1 and 3 weeks.
Please note, if you consume substances like coffee, tea, red wine,
teeth will continue to stain. This may require 'top ups', or a visit to the
practice hygienist in conjunction with
the treatment. Your dentist can advise an appropriate course of treatment
depending on your desired results.
