Teeth whitening in the clinic
In general, teeth whitening at the dentist’s office is safer and more effective than at-home whitening. It is a one-time procedure performed by a dentist.
The whole process takes around 30-90 mins depending upon the severity of the stains.
In our clinic, we have advanced whitening treatment procedure which gives you reliable and long-lasting results.
Teeth whitening at home
In-home teeth whitening first our dentist will take an impression of your teeth to create customized trays for upper and lower teeth. The trays will adjust to the teeth and the whitening gel will be placed inside. The trays should be worn for several hours a day.
Difference between dentist whitening and over-the-counter teeth whitening
Over-the-counter whitening treatment is a cheap option to obtain a whiter smile but it can take weeks or even months to achieve your goal at home and results only last a few weeks.
Another disadvantage of at-home whitening treatment is that they can cause sensitivity and may not evenly whiten your teeth.
At the dentist’s office, professional-grade whitening gels with a higher concentration of product are used.
So in the end, some people end up spending more on at-home whitening treatment over a longer period than at the dentist’s office.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does professional teeth whitening work?
Professional teeth whitening uses a safe, high-strength whitening gel to remove stains and discolouration from the surface of your teeth. The treatment is performed under the supervision of a dentist, allowing for faster, more even, and longer-lasting results than most over-the-counter whitening products.
How much does professional teeth whitening cost?
The cost of professional teeth whitening depends on the treatment method, whether you choose in-office whitening or custom take-home trays, and your individual dental needs. During your consultation, your dentist will recommend the best whitening option and provide a personalised cost estimate.
Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Yes. Professional teeth whitening is considered a safe cosmetic dental treatment when performed or supervised by a dentist. Your dentist will evaluate your oral health before treatment and use products that are designed to minimise tooth sensitivity while protecting your gums and enamel.
How long does teeth whitening last?
The results of professional teeth whitening typically last between 6 months and 3 years, depending on your oral hygiene, eating habits, and lifestyle. Limiting foods and drinks that stain teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco, can help maintain a brighter smile for longer.
What is the difference between professional teeth whitening and over-the-counter whitening products?
Professional teeth whitening uses stronger whitening agents and customised treatment plans to deliver faster, safer, and more consistent results. Over-the-counter whitening strips, gels, and toothpaste may take several weeks or months to show noticeable improvements and may not whiten teeth evenly.
