Teeth Whitening (Prevdent Lamp)

In-clinic tooth whitening using the Prevdent lamp system to lift staining and lighten the natural shade of the teeth in a single supervised appointment. Carried out by the dental team, the gums are protected and a whitening gel is activated to brighten the smile safely. It works best on natural teeth and is often combined with a hygiene visit beforehand; existing crowns, veneers and fillings do not change colour.

Professional whitening lightens the natural shade of the teeth by using a peroxide-based gel to break down the stains and discolouration that build up within enamel and dentine over time from food, drink, smoking and ageing. At Milanova the treatment is performed in the clinic using the Prevdent lamp, which activates the gel during a supervised session. Being carried out by the dental team means the gums and soft tissues are isolated and protected, the strength is controlled, and the process is monitored throughout — a safer and typically more effective approach than over-the-counter kits. A professional hygiene appointment is usually advised first so the teeth are clean and the whitening acts evenly. During the session the gel is applied to the teeth and activated, often over a few cycles, to reach the desired lightening. Some people notice temporary tooth sensitivity for a day or two afterwards, which generally settles, and the team will advise avoiding strongly coloured food and drink in the period immediately after treatment to preserve the result. It is worth knowing that whitening only affects natural tooth structure — existing crowns, veneers, bonding and fillings keep their original colour — so where these are present in the smile the dentist will discuss how to achieve an even appearance. Whitening is an elective cosmetic treatment, and the team confirms suitability, including checking for untreated decay or gum issues, at assessment.
