How it works Professional bleaching is the most usual method of tooth

whitening. First the dental team will put a rubber shield or a gel on your gums to protect them.

Seal all decay or cavities so that bleaching product may not irritate pulp tissue and gums.

They will then apply the whitening product to your teeth, using a specially made tray which fits into your mouth like a mouth guard.

The ‘active ingredient' in the product is usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. As the active ingredient is broken down, oxygen gets into the enamel on the teeth and the tooth colour is made lighter.

Teeth whitening maintenance needs to be done on a regular basis which usually is every six months.
