Teeth Whitening
At Y3 Smiles Dental, we believe every smile deserves to shine. Over time, coffee, tea, and natural ageing can leave your smile looking dull, dark, and discoloured. Professional teeth whitening is a safe way to refresh your smile and restore brightness.
Professional teeth whitening uses higher-concentration agents than over-the-counter products, applied under the supervision of a dental professional. Results vary depending on the natural shade of teeth, existing restorations, and the cause of discolouration. Your dentist can give you a realistic expectation of what professional whitening may achieve for your teeth. The information on this page is general education only.

Is Teeth Whitening Right for Me?
Whitening is generally more effective on natural teeth. It may not change the colour of existing dental work such as crowns, veneers, or fillings, which means existing restorations may appear a different shade after treatment. If you have sensitive teeth or gum concerns, discuss this with your dentist before proceeding. A proper assessment is recommended to determine whether whitening is appropriate for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Results vary between individuals and depend on diet, lifestyle habits such as coffee or red wine consumption, and oral hygiene. Your dentist can advise on maintenance options to help prolong results.
Professional teeth whitening performed under dental supervision is considered safe for most patients. Some people experience temporary sensitivity during or after treatment. Your dentist will assess your suitability before recommending a whitening option.
Whitening agents work on natural tooth enamel and will not change the colour of existing restorations such as fillings, crowns, or veneers. Your dentist can discuss whether whitening is appropriate given your existing dental work.
