What Is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth Whitening is a professional cosmetic treatment designed to lighten tooth discolouration, remove stains, and enhance the overall brightness of your smile.
Using clinically approved whitening gels and advanced LED/light activation systems, this treatment safely lifts deep-set stains caused by food, drinks, smoking, and natural ageing.
It is one of the fastest and most effective non-invasive dental cosmetic procedures for achieving a visibly brighter smile in a single session.
How the Treatment Works
1. Enamel Assessment & Preparation
Your teeth and gums are examined to ensure suitability.
A protective barrier is applied to shield the gums from the whitening gel.
2. Application of Whitening Gel
A professional-grade hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide gel is applied evenly across the teeth.
This gel penetrates the enamel to break down discolouration at a molecular level.
3. LED / Light Activation
A specialised LED lamp is used to activate the gel.
The light:
- Accelerates the whitening process
- Enhances stain breakdown
- Ensures a deeper and more uniform result
4. Rinse & Final Result
The gel is removed, and your newly brightened smile is revealed instantly.
