Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening can lighten the colour of natural teeth. 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. Results vary depending on the cause of staining.
Understanding Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening gently removes surface stains and external discolouration caused by coffee, tea, red wine, smoking or natural ageing.
Our dental grade systems use controlled formulas. Gum irritation and tooth sensitivity can occur and are usually temporary.
Every treatment is professionally supervised to protect your gums and ensure the shade is even across your entire smile.
The outcome is a smile that looks cleaner, healthier and naturally brighter, never over bleached or artificial.
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.
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.
Treatment Options
We offer three professional whitening systems, each designed to suit your lifestyle and expectations.
1. In-Chair Whitening (1-Hour Treatment)
In-chair whitening is done in one visit under dentist supervision.
2. Take-Home Whitening Kits (Gradual Brightening)
Custom-made trays and professional-grade gel allow you to whiten gradually over 1–2 weeks, giving full control over your results.
3. Combination Whitening (Best of Both Worlds)
Start with in-chair whitening for instant results, then maintain your glow at home with custom trays and gel for lasting brilliance.
