Assessment
Review oral health, current restorations and the nature of the colour concern.
Who may consider whitening?
Suitability comes before shade selection.
Whitening may be considered by patients concerned about the colour of their natural teeth. Oral health, sensitivity, existing restorations, the cause of discolouration and expectations should be reviewed before treatment.

Frequently asked
Whitening questions
Will whitening change crowns, fillings or veneers?
Restorative materials respond differently from natural tooth tissue, so existing restorations and possible shade differences should be considered during planning.
Can whitening cause sensitivity?
Temporary sensitivity may occur. Your individual history and any previous sensitivity should be discussed during assessment.
Will my teeth become a specific shade?
Individual response varies. A responsible plan should set realistic expectations rather than guarantee a particular result.
