Professional teeth whitening may be suitable for many patients following an individual clinical assessment. Before treatment is recommended, your dentist or oral health therapist will assess your oral health, tooth sensitivity, enamel condition and the cause of tooth discolouration to determine whether whitening is appropriate for your individual circumstances. The potential benefits, risks, limitations, expected outcomes and available alternatives will also be discussed before treatment proceeds.

No. Professional teeth whitening does not change the colour of crowns, veneers, fillings or other existing dental restorations.

If required, alternative treatment options will also be explained as part of your individual clinical assessment.

Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity following professional teeth whitening. The degree of sensitivity varies depending on your oral health, tooth sensitivity, enamel condition and the whitening treatment provided.
