At Skintisfaction, our dental whitening treatments are tailored to your teeth, the type of staining present and your desired results. Whether your teeth have become discoloured from food, drinks, smoking or age-related changes, a dental assessment helps determine the most appropriate whitening option. ## Benefits of Dental Whitening at Skintisfaction **Noticeably Brighter Teeth** Professional whitening can lighten many types of tooth stains and improve your smile’s overall appearance. **Removal of Surface Stains** Treatment can address staining from coffee, tea, red wine, and other common sources of discolouration. **Personalised Treatment** Your whitening approach is selected according to your dental condition, sensitivity and treatment goals. **Convenient Options** Choose from professional in-office whitening, custom take-home treatments or a combination where appropriate. **Longer-Lasting Results** With appropriate oral hygiene and care, whitening results can be maintained. Their duration depends on your habits, diet and the type of treatment used. ## Professional Teeth Whitening Treatments We Offer **In-Office Power Whitening** Professional whitening performed at the clinic under dental supervision. Treatment aims to produce a noticeable improvement in tooth shade during an appointment. **Custom Take-Home Whitening Kits** Custom-fitted trays and professional whitening gel allow you to whiten your teeth at home according to your dentist’s instructions. **Combination Treatment** A combination of in-office and take-home whitening may be recommended for selected patients, depending on their dental condition and desired results. **Sensitive-Teeth Whitening Options** For patients prone to sensitivity, your dentist can discuss suitable products and treatment approaches to help manage discomfort while whitening. ## Teeth Staining Concerns We Can Treat Professional dental whitening can improve several types of tooth discolouration, but results depend on the cause and severity of the staining. **Coffee and Tea Stains** Reduces discolouration from regular consumption of coffee, tea, and other staining drinks. **Wine and Food Discolouration** Address surface staining caused by red wine, certain foods and other common dietary sources. **Tobacco and Smoking Stains** Improve the appearance of yellow or brown staining associated with tobacco use. **Age-Related Yellowing** Whitening may reduce yellowing that develops naturally with age. **Medication-Related Discolouration** Some medication-related stains are less responsive to conventional whitening. Your dentist can assess the type of discolouration and discuss suitable options. **Genetic Tooth Discolouration** Natural differences in tooth shade may respond differently to whitening. An assessment helps establish realistic expectations. ## What to Expect During Your Dental Whitening Appointment **1. Dental Assessment** Your appointment begins with an examination of your teeth and gums, a discussion of your dental history and an assessment of the cause of discolouration. Existing dental problems may need attention before whitening. **2. Treatment Planning** Your dentist recommends a suitable whitening option based on your dental condition, sensitivity and desired shade. **3. Professional Whitening** Depending on the selected treatment, whitening is performed in the clinic or at home using dentist-approved products and instructions. **4. Aftercare and Maintenance** You’ll receive advice on oral hygiene, dietary habits and managing sensitivity. Your dentist can also explain how to maintain your results. ## Who May Benefit From Professional Dental Whitening?
