Tooth whitening

Tooth whitening is a cosmetic treatment that changes the colour of your teeth so that they look brighter. We will use a chemical gel to change the shade.

Teeth have natural colour variations - some are whiter than others to begin with - a bit like the natural variations in the darkness of people's skin or hair. If your teeth are naturally darker in colour, they won't necessarily become as bright as someone else's after tooth whitening - unlike hair colouring, there is a limit to just how much you can bleach a tooth.

However, teeth that are naturally pale but have darkened from smoking, drinking red wine, tea, coffee, etc, are likely to whiten quite easily and to achieve a lighter shade.
