02 · Bonding
A chipped corner, restored with bonding.
Tooth-coloured composite is applied in layers to chipped or worn edges and hardened with light.
03 · Whitening
Whitening lightens the tooth’s own shade.
Professional whitening aims to lighten the shade by a few tones without changing the tooth structure. Results vary from person to person.
04 · Veneer
Veneers: a thin shell for the front surface.
A ceramic veneer is a thin shell bonded to the front of the tooth. It changes colour and shape together. Suitability is assessed at your examination. Images are illustrative.

- Teeth whitening
Professional teeth whitening lightens natural teeth using whitening products selected by a dental professional. It may offer a way to change colour without preparing teeth for restorations.
Planned around your needs
An examination helps identify the reason for discolouration and check suitability. Existing decay or gum concerns may need attention first. Discuss the shade you hope to achieve and its limitations.
What treatment may involve
The method and duration depend on the approach recommended. Follow the instructions provided rather than increasing product strength or use on your own.
What to understand before deciding
Whitening can cause sensitivity or gum irritation. It does not whiten crowns, veneers or fillings, so colour differences may remain. Results vary and are not permanent.
Can whitening replace veneers?
Sometimes whitening addresses the main concern, but it does not change tooth shape or repair structural damage. Your dentist can compare appropriate options.
