Teeth whitening
Several shades whiter in one visit, or at home over two weeks. Done by a dentist, so it’s safe on enamel.
- Starting price
- $350 for in-office whitening, one visit
- Time
- One visit, or two weeks at home.
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.
