Tooth Whitening Christchurch

There are two effective ways to safely whiten your teeth.

In-Office Whitening

One hour in our dental chair and you can walk out with beautifully whitened teeth.

In-office tooth whitening leaves you with great results in as little as one hour with one application. It’s a fast, easy and convenient way to whiten your teeth.

Most people find this treatment to whiten their teeth by one to two shades. (Results may vary.)

The longevity will depend on your lifestyle. Smoking, drinking tea and coffee and even normal foods can stain teeth, so your teeth wont remain freshly whitened forever. However, we do offer at home touch-up kits to help maintain your bright white smile.

At Home Whitening Kit

To make your at home tooth whitening kit we first need to take impressions of your teeth to create customised whitening trays for your teeth. Once we have created these for you, you can take them home and begin whitening your teeth with the gel for 30 minutes each day.

For most people, they will begin to notice results within a few days and it will take around 2 weeks of daily usage to get the desired result.

You can continue to use your whitening trays in the future for touch ups and in general we would recommend doing a little each year to help keep your smile looking it's best. Please note if you have fillings or other dental treatment this can affect the fit of the whitening trays.

Further information on whitening can be discussed via a consultation with one of our dentists.

Internal Whitening on Root Canal Treated Teeth 

Over time, a root canal treated tooth may begin to darken. Often this will become noticeable on a front tooth and could impact your smile confidence. By placing the whitening agents inside the tooth, we can often lighten the tooth enough to blend in with your other teeth, restoring your smile and your confidence.
