New teeth whitening procedures
Professional whitening uses peroxide gel with custom trays or in-office application after teeth and gums are checked.
The short answer
Peroxide oxidises stain molecules in natural enamel and dentine. It does not lighten crowns, veneers, fillings, or other restorations.
What is the direct answer?
What does this question mean?
Have decay, leaking fillings, exposed roots, and gum inflammation assessed before choosing supervised home or in-office treatment.
What can you do next?
Seek care for severe or lingering sensitivity, chemical irritation, uneven colour, or pain from a particular tooth.
When should you seek dental care?
Ask whether staining is intrinsic or extrinsic, which restorations will not change, and how sensitivity will be managed.
