Teeth whitening · Woodbridge
Choose a brighter shade with your teeth in mind.
Professional whitening begins by checking tooth and gum health, existing restorations, sensitivity, and the kind of colour change you want.
Before whitening
Not every dark area responds in the same way.
Surface stain, natural tooth shade, existing fillings or crowns, and individual sensitivity all matter. An assessment helps set realistic expectations and identify dental concerns that should be addressed first.
- General yellowing or surface stain
- Questions about in-office and take-home options
- Upcoming cosmetic or restorative treatment
- A history of sensitivity that needs planning

Whitening questions
What to know before choosing a shade.
Will whitening affect crowns or fillings?
Whitening products generally affect natural tooth structure differently from existing restorations. Review colour matching before treatment.
Can whitening cause sensitivity?
Temporary sensitivity can occur. Share your history so the dentist can discuss options and instructions.
How long will the result last?
Results vary with diet, habits, oral hygiene, and the whitening method. Ask about maintenance expectations.
Should I whiten before veneers or crowns?
Colour sequencing can matter. Discuss planned restorative or cosmetic treatment before whitening.
