Weaker by law
Over-the-counter products are capped at low peroxide levels, so results are modest and slow compared with supervised treatment.

The science, briefly
What whitening actually does to your teeth.
Whitening gel works by letting peroxide pass into the enamel and break apart the pigment molecules that have built up from years of coffee, tea, wine, and ordinary wear. It does not strip or sand the tooth; it lightens the colour already there. That is also why it has limits: it lifts stains within natural enamel, but it cannot change the colour of a crown, a veneer, or a filling. Understanding that one fact prevents most whitening disappointments.
Why the chemist’s aisle disappoints
Where strips and kits fall short.
One-size trays
Generic strips and trays miss the curves of your teeth, leaving streaks and letting gel touch the gums where it stings.
No safety check
A kit cannot tell whether a dark tooth is stained or actually decayed. We confirm your teeth are healthy before whitening anything.
Hit and miss on sensitivity
Without guidance, kits often trigger zingers. Supervised whitening lets us dial strength and timing to keep you comfortable.
Setting expectations
Not every stain lifts the same way.
The honest part of whitening is knowing what will and will not respond. Yellow and brown surface stains from food and drink tend to lighten beautifully. Grey tones, banding from childhood medication, or darkening from an old injury are more stubborn and sometimes call for bonding or a veneer instead. Before you spend on whitening, we look at the cause of your discolouration and tell you plainly what result is realistic, and which approach will get you there.

Common questions about teeth whitening
Questions, answered.
No. Whitening lightens the pigment inside enamel rather than removing tooth structure. Used at sensible strengths under supervision, it does not weaken the tooth; any sensitivity is temporary.
Neither is simply better, they suit different goals. In-office gives a fast jump before an event; custom take-home trays whiten gently and are easy to top up. Many people do an in-office session and then maintain it at home.
Store products are legally limited to weak gel and use generic trays, so they fade slowly and unevenly. Professional gel is stronger and applied to custom trays, which is why supervised results look more dramatic and even.
No. Whitening only changes natural enamel. If a crown or veneer sits in your smile line, we plan around it so your teeth do not end up a different shade from your dental work.
It depends on your habits. Coffee, tea, and red wine pull the colour back over months; lighter diets hold longer. Take-home trays let you refresh occasionally so you keep the result you paid for.
