What is Cosmetic Dentistry & Teeth Whitening?

Cosmetic dentistry covers treatments that improve how teeth look. Professional teeth whitening lightens natural tooth colour under dental supervision.

Other options include tooth-coloured bonding to repair chips or close small gaps, veneers (thin coverings on the front of teeth), and contouring to refine tooth shape. The dentist first checks that your teeth and gums are healthy.

Why it may be needed

  • Stained or discoloured teeth
  • Chipped or worn edges
  • Small gaps between teeth
  • Uneven tooth shapes or sizes
  • Old fillings that look different from your teeth

Cosmetic Dentistry & Teeth Whitening: frequently asked questions

Have another question? Message us on WhatsApp.

Is teeth whitening safe?
Professional whitening under dental supervision is widely used. The dentist will first check that it is suitable for your teeth and gums.
Will whitening change the colour of my crowns or fillings?
No. Whitening works on natural tooth enamel, not on crowns, veneers or fillings. These may need replacing to match your new shade.
How long do whitening results last?
Results vary and gradually fade over time, depending on diet and habits such as tea, coffee or tobacco.
Will my teeth be sensitive?
Temporary sensitivity is common after whitening and usually settles. Tell the dentist if it is uncomfortable.
What is the difference between bonding and veneers?
Bonding applies tooth-coloured material directly to the tooth. Veneers are thin coverings made to fit the front surface. The dentist will explain which suits your goals.
Are results guaranteed?
Results vary from person to person. The dentist will explain what is realistic for your teeth before treatment.
