When you’re self-conscious about your smile with discoloured teeth, whitening can be an effective way to brighten your smile and boost your self-confidence.
Teeth-whitening should only ever be prescribed and carried out by your dentist.
You must be over 18 and have healthy teeth and gums to benefit from a whitening treatment.
It is important to know that whitening does not affect crowns, fillings or dental bridges. Staining caused by tartar and staining on cracked teeth may also be unaffected by whitening.
If teeth whitening is right for you, your dentist will be able to help you decide on the most appropriate treatment option and explain the stages of the process.
