Your gums are carefully protected with a special covering. The whitening solution is applied to the teeth and activated with a special light in the dental clinic. Alternatively, a whitening gel is provided to you to be used with a custom-made tray at home.
Yes. Many clinical studies and extensive research have proved that under the supervision of a dentist, teeth whitening is safe. Many dentists consider teeth whitening to be one of the safest cosmetic dental procedure available. The whitening agent helps remove internal stains in your teeth and restore the color back to their original shade. So if you have noticed your teeth discolour over time, you are likely to have great results after whitening them.
Teeth whitening is not recommended for children under 13 years and pregnant or lactating women.
Certain simple post whitening care instructions need to be followed which will be explained to you by our team of dentists. We recommend avoiding coloured liquids and tobacco for a few days after whitening for about a week after the procedure, to maximize the effect of the teeth whitening. Alternatively, coloured liquids can be swallowed with a straw so that it does not contact the front surface of the teeth. We also recommend flossing and brushing twice daily to keep your teeth in a good and healthy condition. Depending on your lifestyle, you may need to whiten your teeth periodically.

Teeth cleaning involved removing macro stains and deposits on the surface of the tooth with an ultrasonic instrument. Teeth whitening removes microscopic stains that are lodged within the pores of the teeth.
Avoiding excessive consumption of coloured liquids such as tea, coffee and wine can help reduce the amount of discolouration your tooth will undergo. Using a straw is another great way to make sure these coloured liquids do not darken the front of your teeth. Tobacco (cigarettes and chewing tobacco) are notorious for staining and discolouring teeth, and they should be avoided if you intend to keep your teeth staying bright and white.
