Teeth Whitening

A professional whitening treatment that lightens the natural shade of the teeth using a dental-grade peroxide gel under controlled conditions. Carried out by the dental team after the teeth have been cleaned, it lifts stains built up from coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco and from ageing, for a brighter, more even smile. Because it is supervised by a dentist, the gums are protected and the strength is tailored to keep sensitivity to a minimum.

Professional teeth whitening at Kaja Dental uses a concentrated, dental-grade whitening gel to lighten the colour of the natural teeth more effectively and predictably than over-the-counter products. The active ingredient breaks down stain molecules within the enamel and dentine, raising the overall shade of the smile. Because the treatment is carried out by the dental team, the gums and soft tissues are isolated and protected, and the gel strength and contact time are controlled to balance a noticeable result against comfort. The best and most even outcome is achieved on clean teeth, so a professional hygiene appointment beforehand is recommended to remove surface staining and tartar first; whitening also works only on natural tooth structure, not on existing fillings, crowns or veneers, which is discussed at the planning stage so the final result looks harmonious. Some temporary sensitivity to cold during or shortly after treatment is common and typically settles within a day or two. To maintain the result, patients are advised to moderate strongly staining foods and drinks and to keep up good hygiene; occasional top-ups can refresh the shade over time. Whitening is best suited to healthy teeth and gums and is not carried out during pregnancy or breastfeeding; the dentist confirms suitability and realistic expectations at consultation, including for teeth that are heavily discoloured or have restorations in the smile line.
