A brighter smile in one appointment or at home
Professional whitening removes deep stains that store-bought products cannot touch — supervised so sensitivity is managed along the way.
Why professional whitening works better
Over-the-counter products contain bleaching agents at much lower concentrations. Store-bought strips typically hold 3 to 10 percent peroxide; professional whitening uses 15 to 35 percent hydrogen or carbamide peroxide. That higher concentration penetrates deeper into enamel and lifts years of accumulated staining.
Professional treatment also comes with supervision. Your dentist assesses which teeth can safely be whitened, identifies stains that will not respond — such as those caused by decay or certain medications — and manages sensitivity before it becomes a problem.
Results last longer too. Custom take-home trays maintain brightness for weeks with annual touch-ups, while over-the-counter strips fade quickly and need repeat purchase. Per treatment, professional care is usually the better value.
Two ways to whiten
In-Office Power Whitening — 60 minutes
A protective barrier is applied to your gums, then professional-grade gel, typically 35 percent hydrogen peroxide, is applied evenly across the visible teeth. An LED activation light assists the process. After fifteen minutes the gel is rinsed and reapplied, with most patients completing two or three cycles in a single appointment. Results are immediate, with the final shade stabilising over 24 hours — many patients see a four to eight shade improvement.
Take-Home Trays — ongoing
A digital scan creates trays fitted precisely to your mouth. Professional-grade gel, usually 10 to 16 percent carbamide peroxide, is applied at home and worn from thirty minutes to several hours daily. Most people see results after three or four days, with significant whitening after one to two weeks of consistent use. Trays can be refilled annually.
On sensitivity
Some sensitivity during whitening is normal and temporary. It is managed with desensitising treatment before and after, and by adjusting concentration or wear time rather than pushing through it.
If you already have sensitive teeth, say so at consultation. It changes the protocol, not the outcome.
