Whitening aims to lighten tooth shade under professional care. Decay, gum inflammation or heavy tartar should be addressed first.

Fillings, crowns and dentures do not change colour with whitening gels, so a shade difference can appear. The tone you reach varies; a particular result is not guaranteed.

Temporary sensitivity is common and usually short-lived. Whitening is generally not advised in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Whether it is suitable for you can only be decided at an examination.

Information on this page is for general guidance. The right treatment for you is decided by your dentist after examination and any necessary tests.
