Tooth whitening is a mild bleaching process that restores stained or discoloured teeth to a healthy, natural colour.

Teeth become discoloured for different reasons:

• Frequently drinking coffee, tea and coke.
• Some antibiotics may darken teeth in developing children.
• Aging – The dentin underneath the enamel of a tooth gradually darken with age.
• Use of tobacco products.
• Accidents – if a tooth is traumatised, sometimes the nerve will gradually die.
• After Root Canal Treatment (RCT or Endodontic treatment) a tooth will gradually darken

The Whitening process involves making a tray to custom fit your teeth, to which a safe whitening agent is applied. The trays are worn 30 minutes morning and night. Most patients notice results within a few applications.
