A clear guide to the assessment, whitening process, and aftercare considerations before brightening your smile.
Dr. Alex Rivers
General & Cosmetic Dentist
Professional teeth whitening starts with an assessment. Your dentist checks your teeth and gums, asks about sensitivity, and looks for fillings, crowns, or other restorations that may affect the final appearance. This helps determine whether
whitening is appropriate and what result may be realistic. If you are suitable, your dental team will explain the whitening method, expected duration, and any temporary sensitivity that may occur. Whitening changes the colour of natural teeth, but it does not change the shade of crowns, veneers, or fillings.
Before treatment, share your dental history and mention any sensitivity or previous whitening experiences. Follow the instructions provided by your dental professional and avoid unapproved whitening products that may irritate your gums. After treatment
follow the recommended care advice and ask how to manage sensitivity if it occurs. A consultation can help you understand whether whitening is right for your smile and what maintenance may be needed.
