Teeth can become darker or stained over time due to ageing, food, drinks, smoking, and other factors. At Supernova Medical Centre, our dental team can assess your teeth and discuss suitable whitening options to help you achieve a brighter, more confident smile safely and appropriately.
Before whitening, we assess your teeth and gums to determine whether whitening is suitable and identify any existing dental concerns that may need attention first.

Professional teeth whitening uses whitening agents to lighten the colour of natural teeth and reduce certain types of staining or discolouration. Your dentist can recommend an appropriate approach based on your teeth and dental health.
When whitening is appropriately selected and used as directed, it is generally considered safe. A dental assessment is important because existing cavities, gum problems, cracks, or other dental conditions may need to be addressed before whitening.
Results vary from person to person. The final shade depends on your natural tooth colour, the type of staining, and the whitening method used. Your dentist can discuss realistic expectations before treatment.
Some people experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation following whitening. Your dental professional can provide advice about managing sensitivity and whether whitening is suitable for you.
Whitening treatments primarily affect natural tooth structure and generally do not lighten existing restorations such as crowns, fillings, or veneers. Your dentist can assess your existing dental work and explain how whitening may affect the overall appearance of your smile.
The duration of results varies depending on your diet, oral hygiene, lifestyle, and the type of staining. Limiting staining foods and drinks, maintaining good oral hygiene, and attending regular dental check-ups can help maintain a brighter smile.
Existing dental problems should generally be assessed before whitening. Your dentist can determine whether cavities, gum disease, damaged teeth, or other concerns should be treated before proceeding with cosmetic whitening.

If you’re considering professional teeth whitening, our dental team can assess your smile, discuss your goals, and help you understand the most appropriate options for achieving a brighter, healthier-looking smile.
