Teeth Whitening is a popular way to brighten your smile.

There are two ways to whiten your teeth:

Take-Home Whitening - This is the most "budget friendly" way of whitening your teeth. Models of your mouth are made, then trays with individual reservoirs for each tooth are fabricated by our technicians. The trays are worn with whitening gel in place for 40 minutes every night, for a couple of weeks.

In-Practice Whitening - This is done in the dental chair and is the best option if you want instant and, the most premium results. It usually takes 1 - 1^1/2 to complete. 

All patients are required to see a clinician for a pre-whitening consulation to check that they are suitable to go ahead with whitening treatment. Fillings, crowns or veneers may not whiten at all. It is strongly prohibited to purchase online concentrated bleaching gel by the Dental Council of New Zealand, cases of dental pulp death and traumatized gingival have been reported in the past.
