Teeth Whitening

Professional, dentist-supervised whitening to lift stains safely and brighten your natural smile.

Treatment Overview

Professional teeth whitening uses a peroxide-based gel to break down stains inside the enamel. Treatment can be carried out in the clinic, with custom-made trays at home, or as a combination of both, always after a dental check-up.
