Overview

Our clinical-grade whitening protocols go beyond surface stain removal to address intrinsic discolouration at the enamel level. Using pharmaceutical-strength agents calibrated to your enamel's unique chemistry, we deliver luminosity that feels natural — never chalky or over-bleached.

Our Treatment Process

01

Shade Assessment

A baseline shade analysis using a calibrated spectrophotometer to measure your starting point and set realistic targets.

02

Gum Barrier Application

A protective resin shield is carefully applied to isolate the gingival tissue before any whitening agent contact.

03

In-Office Treatment

Professional-strength gel is applied and activated in cycles, monitored continuously for temperature and sensitivity.

04

Take-Home Maintenance

Custom-fitted trays and a maintenance kit are provided to sustain and extend your results at home.
