What is tooth whitening?
Tooth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment aimed at brightening the natural shade of your teeth, resulting in a visibly whiter smile. Our tooth whitening treatments are designed to effectively remove stains and discolouration caused by factors such as ageing, diet, and lifestyle habits, restoring your teeth to their natural colour. At our practice, we offer two leading whitening options: Enlighten Smiles and Philips Zoom Whitening.
