Tooth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a simple, effective and affordable cosmetic dental treatment. It will noticeably whiten teeth to enhance your smile and boost your self-confidence.

Our professional teeth whitening treatments utilize a powerful and safe whitening gel that is applied to the surface of your teeth. The active ingredient (hydrogen peroxide) in the gel works to lighten the appearance of discolouration and yellowing on the tooth enamel.
Teeth whitening could be an option for you if your teeth is discoloured due to

• The natural ageing process
• Consumption of certain drinks and foods, including tea, wine, coffee, and soda
• Smoking and other forms of tobacco use
• Certain medication
• Fluorosis

Process

The dentist will carefully check whether your teeth status is suitable and safe to go through the whitening process. Impressions are made to fabricate the custom trays.

Professional whitening gel and trays are provided to use at home and will be explained on how to apply the gel to the surface of your teeth few hours per day for a week or two, until you achieve the desired colour.

Our dentist will work with you to determine the right type of treatment duration.

The strength of the gel and the fitness of the tray provides a better result than over the counter whitening kits.

Mouthguards and Nightguards

To prevent painful sports injuries and damage to teeth, it is recommended to wear a mouthguard while playing contact sports. Custom made mouth guards are comfortable to wear whilst providing a good fit.

Nightguards are used to prevent damage (teeth wear, cracks in teeth or fillings, crowns) to teeth and restorations by teeth grinding at night(bruxism).
