Creating a brighter smile comes with many benefits:
The procedure involves bleaching your teeth to remove common stains, normally caused by foods and drinks like coffee, cigarettes and red wine. Teeth also naturally discolor as we age, and whitening your teeth can reverse this process. If you want to improve the whiteness of your smile, this procedure is perfect for you. This treatment doesn’t have an effect on the structure of your gums or teeth. A whitening agent is used to bleach your teeth, but can only be used on tooth enamel. Any bleaching products will not affect artificial teeth.

After one of our dentists has assessed your teeth to check if this procedure is suitable for you, we’ll get started! We’ll begin by creating a precise mold of your teeth to produce your custom whitening tray. These are made to ensure that you get even whitening treatment and no spot is missed. You’ll then sit back and relax as we place the whitening tray into your mouth with Philips’ low-sensitivity whitening gel. After 60 minutes, you’ll be free to leave with a brand-new smile and whiter teeth!
