Teeth Whitening | Brighten Your Smile with Confidence
A brighter, whiter smile can boost confidence and enhance your overall appearance.

Whether you want to reduce stains from coffee, wine, smoking, or aging, our customized whitening treatments can help you achieve the radiant smile you’ve always wanted.
Why Do Teeth Stain?
Tooth discolouration can occur due to various factors, including:
🦷 Diet & Lifestyle Choices – Dark-coloured beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and soda can stain enamel over time.
🦷 Smoking & Tobacco Use – Nicotine and tar leave deep-set stains on teeth, making them appear yellow or brown.
🦷 Aging – As we age, tooth enamel naturally thins, revealing the darker dentin underneath.
🦷 Medications & Health Conditions – Some antibiotics (e.g., tetracycline) and medical treatments may cause internal tooth discoloration.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Professional whitening treatments contain carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide, which break down stains at a molecular level. The whitening agent releases oxygen molecules that penetrate enamel, lifting discoloration and brightening teeth from within.
Unlike drugstore whitening strips, professional treatments ensure even whitening without damaging enamel or causing excessive sensitivity.
FAQs About Teeth Whitening
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes! Professional whitening is safe and effective when performed under dental supervision. Our treatments use enamel-friendly formulas to minimize sensitivity and protect your teeth.
How long do whitening results last?
Results can last several months to years, depending on your diet, lifestyle, and oral care habits. Occasional touch-up treatments help maintain your bright smile.
Will whitening cause tooth sensitivity?
Some people experience temporary sensitivity, but our advanced formulas contain potassium nitrate and fluoride to reduce discomfort. If needed, we recommend desensitizing treatments like UltraEZ™ Gel or Enamelast™ Fluoride Varnish.
Can I whiten my teeth if I have crowns or fillings?
Whitening does not change the color of crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you’re considering whitening, we recommend doing it before cosmetic restorations to ensure a uniform shade.
