A simple way to lift staining and restore a clearer, more even colour

Teeth whitening is one of the most straightforward ways to improve how your teeth look. It works by lifting staining and reducing discolouration, so your natural tooth colour appears brighter and more even.

At Ark-G Dental, whitening is carried out using professional systems designed to give a controlled, consistent result. Whether you’re looking for something gradual at home or a quicker change in practice, we’ve got something to suit you.

What is teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening uses a safe, controlled gel to break down staining within the enamel. Over time, teeth can become darker due to things like coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, or simply natural ageing. Whitening works by lifting this staining, rather than covering it.

When is whitening used?

Teeth whitening is suitable if:

  • Your teeth have become darker over time.
  • You have staining from food or drink.
  • You’d like a brighter, more even colour.
  • You’re preparing for another treatment, such as bonding or veneers.

It’s often used as a starting point, as improving colour alone can make a noticeable difference.

Getting the decision right

Whitening isn’t always the first step for everyone. We look at:

  • The cause of the discolouration.
  • Whether whitening is likely to be effective.
  • Whether another treatment would be more suitable.

In some cases, whitening on its own is enough. In others, it works best alongside treatments such as bonding, where the final colour needs to be matched.

Frequently asked questions

Why should I choose professional teeth whitening?

It’s carried out using controlled products and tailored to your teeth, which makes it safer and more predictable than over-the-counter options.

What are some benefits of teeth whitening?

It improves the colour of your teeth without changing their structure.

  • Improves colour without altering the tooth: No drilling or reshaping required.
  • Even, natural-looking result: Works with your existing teeth rather than covering them.
  • Flexible options: Can be done gradually or more quickly, depending on preference.
  • Works well alongside other treatments: Often used before bonding or veneers.

What are the alternatives to whitening?

If whitening isn’t suitable, options may include bonding or veneers to improve the appearance of the teeth.

How long does teeth whitening last?

It varies, but results can be maintained with occasional top-ups.

Does teeth whitening hurt?

Some people experience temporary sensitivity, but this usually settles quickly.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Yes, when carried out under dental supervision using approved products.

Will whitening work on crowns or bonding?

No. Whitening only affects natural teeth. Existing dental work won’t change colour.

Can I eat and drink normally during treatment?

You may be advised to avoid certain foods and drinks during whitening to prevent staining.

How white will my teeth go?

This depends on your starting shade and how your teeth respond.

Can I combine whitening with other treatments?

Yes. It’s often used before bonding or veneers so the final result can be matched.
