Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the simplest and most effective ways to refresh your smile. Over time, everyday habits such as coffee, tea or red wine, as well as natural ageing, can leave teeth looking dull or discoloured.

At The Point Dental, we use professional-grade whitening systems to deliver even, predictable results while protecting both enamel and gums.

Whether you’re preparing for a special occasion or simply restoring your natural brightness, treatment is carefully tailored to enhance your smile without looking over-whitened or artificial.

Understanding Teeth Whitening

Professional whitening gently removes surface stains and external discolouration caused by coffee, tea, red wine, smoking or natural ageing.

Unlike over the counter kits, our dental grade systems use controlled formulas that create noticeable brightness without harming enamel or irritating the gums.

Every treatment is professionally supervised to protect your gums and ensure the shade is even across your entire smile.

Who Whitening Is For

Professional whitening suits most adults with healthy teeth and gums who wish to treat stains from:

Coffee, tea, or red wine

Smoking or tobacco

Ageing or yellowing enamel

Previous orthodontic treatment or surface discolouration

Whitening may not be suitable if you have extensive fillings, crowns on front teeth, severe enamel wear, or deep intrinsic staining.

If whitening is not suitable or cannot achieve the shade you want, we may recommend alternative options such as composite veneers or porcelain veneers for a more permanent colour correction.

Process

Your whitening journey is straightforward, comfortable and carefully planned from start to finish.

Aftercare and Maintenance

Your new smile can stay luminous with the right care. It’s common to experience mild, short-term sensitivity after whitening, this usually settles within 24 hours.

To maintain results:

Avoid dark foods or drinks for 48 hours post-treatment

Brush twice daily with non-abrasive toothpaste

Rinse with water after coffee or red wine

Avoid smoking or vaping

Schedule six-monthly professional cleans and check-ups

With consistent care, whitening typically lasts 12–24 months. Occasional top-ups using professional take-home gel can help maintain your preferred brightness year-round.
