What whitening can and cannot change
Whitening works best on yellowing from age and on stains from tea, coffee and tobacco. It does much less for grey discolouration, for marks that formed while the tooth was developing, or for a single tooth that has darkened after an injury.
It also has no effect on crowns, veneers or tooth-coloured fillings. If you have any of these on your front teeth, they will stay their current shade while your natural teeth lighten, so it is worth planning for that before you start.
Why a check-up comes first
Whitening gel on a tooth with an open cavity, worn enamel or inflamed gums can be painful. Much of what looks like staining is also surface build-up, and scaling alone can make a clear difference. For some people, that is all they needed.
What to expect
- The doctor checks your teeth and gums and notes your starting shade.
- Any cleaning or repairs are done first.
- Your gums are protected and the gel is applied under supervision.
- You compare the shade and get advice on looking after it.
Sensitivity and aftercare
Teeth can feel sensitive to cold for a day or two, and this usually settles on its own. For the first couple of days, go easy on tea, coffee, red sauces and tobacco, since teeth pick up stains more easily straight after treatment. Results fade slowly over time, and good brushing and regular cleaning help them last.
If whitening is not the answer
For deep discolouration or chipped front teeth, veneers can do what bleaching cannot. See smile makeover options, or call 080 4736 0296 or send a WhatsApp message to ask what would suit your teeth.

Frequently asked questions
Is whitening safe for my enamel?
When it is supervised by a dentist and your teeth have been checked first, it is considered safe. Overusing strong products without supervision is what causes trouble.
Who should wait before whitening?
Whitening is generally postponed during pregnancy, and until cavities or gum problems have been treated. Tell the doctor about anything like this at your visit.
Will my crowns whiten too?
No. Crowns, veneers and fillings keep their shade, so they may need replacing to match if your front teeth change colour.
How long does the result last?
It varies with your habits. Tea, coffee and tobacco bring stains back faster, while regular cleaning helps the result last longer.
