Shaded: the teeth this usually involves.

What it is

Professional whitening uses a stronger gel than anything you can buy, applied with your gums protected. In one visit, most people go four to six shades lighter. Take-home trays get there more slowly but let you top up whenever you want.

We’ll check your teeth first: whitening doesn’t change the colour of fillings, crowns or veneers, and if you’ve got a cavity, it will sting. Better to know before you spend the money.

What happens

  1. Check and shade-match

    A quick look for anything that would make whitening a bad idea, then we photograph your starting shade.

  2. Whiten

    Gums covered, gel applied in three 20-minute rounds under a light. Podcast optional.

  3. Compare

    Your new shade beside the starting photo. Take-home gel for touch-ups is included.

“I hadn’t been to a dentist in six years and was braced for a lecture. Got none. Got a plan, a price, and two fillings done the same week.”
