- Aftercare advice. We tell you what to avoid for the next few days to keep the result.
The whole visit takes about one hour.
03 · SUITABILITY
Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?

- Cavities or gum disease may need to be treated first.
- A single dark tooth after an injury or root canal treatment may need a different approach.
- Some people feel temporary sensitivity after whitening. It usually settles within a day or two.
04 · AFTERCARE
After Whitening
- For the first few days, avoid strongly colored food and drinks such as coffee, red wine, tea and curry.
- Avoid smoking, which stains teeth quickly.
- Results last longer with good brushing and regular cleaning.
- If some color returns within a month, your included touch-up cycle can help.
