Teeth Whitening (Beyond)

Professional teeth whitening lightens the natural shade of the teeth using a dental-grade gel, achieving a result that is faster and more controlled than over-the-counter products. STOMO Clinic offers in-office Beyond lamp-accelerated whitening in a single visit, and a two-stage protocol that combines an in-chair session with custom take-home trays for a more thorough result. A hygiene appointment beforehand helps the gel work evenly.

Professional whitening uses a controlled concentration of peroxide-based gel, applied by a dental team, to break down the stains and discolouration that build up within tooth enamel over time from food, drink, smoking and ageing. Carried out in a clinic, it allows a stronger and more even result than shop-bought strips or pastes while protecting the gums and soft tissues. At STOMO Clinic the main option is Beyond whitening, in which the gel is activated by a specialised lamp during a single in-chair appointment to accelerate the lightening process. For patients wanting a more comprehensive change, a two-stage protocol combines an in-office session with custom-fitted take-home trays and gel to continue and consolidate the result at home. A professional hygiene appointment — scaling and air-polishing — is recommended first so the gel acts on clean enamel and the outcome is uniform. Whitening lightens natural tooth structure only; it does not change the colour of existing fillings, crowns or veneers, so the dentist will discuss expectations if you have restorations on visible teeth. Some people experience temporary sensitivity for a day or two, which settles on its own. The treatment suits adults with healthy teeth and gums who want a brighter smile; it is not carried out during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and a check-up beforehand ensures there is no decay or gum problem that should be treated first.
