Teeth Whitening in Taupō

Teeth pick up colour over the years. Tea, coffee, red wine, cola and tobacco stain the surface, while the tooth underneath naturally darkens with age. Professional whitening lifts both, safely and under supervision.

The difference between professional whitening and a supermarket kit is control. We check first that your teeth and gums are healthy enough, we match the strength to your teeth, and we monitor how you respond, which is what keeps the result even and the sensitivity manageable.

Before you whiten

• Any decay or gum problems are treated first, because whitening an unhealthy mouth is uncomfortable and can be harmful
• A professional clean comes first, so the whitening works on the tooth rather than on surface deposits
• If you are planning crowns, veneers or new fillings at the front of your mouth, whiten first so the restorations can be matched to your final shade

What to expect

We will talk through the options at your consultation and recommend the approach that suits your teeth and your timeframe. Some sensitivity during and shortly after treatment is normal and settles within a day or two; tell us if you are prone to it and we will plan around it.

Making it last

Results vary from person to person, and habits matter more than anything. Cutting back on the things that stained the teeth in the first place, cleaning well and keeping up regular hygiene visits will all stretch the result out considerably.
