Can I whiten my teeth if they are sensitive?

Maybe, but sensitivity needs checking first. We look for decay, gum recession, cracks or worn enamel, then discuss whether whitening should be delayed, adjusted or avoided.

Will whitening change crowns, fillings or veneers?

Whitening changes natural tooth shade, but crowns, fillings and veneers usually do not lighten the same way. If visible restorations are present, we discuss shade expectations before whitening.

Veneers are thin shells placed on the front of your teeth to improve their colour, shape, size, and overall appearance for a natural-looking smile.

How many veneers do I need?

It depends on your smile goals. Some patients choose 2-4 veneers to improve their front teeth, while others choose 6-10 veneers for a full smile makeover. During your consultation, the dentist will recommend the number that best suits your smile.

What is the difference between composite and porcelain veneers?

Composite Veneers Completed in one visit in most cases. More affordable. Easy to repair if chipped. May stain over time. Porcelain Veneers Stronger and more stain-resistant. More natural-looking. Last longer with proper care. Usually require two or more visits. Our dentist will recommend the most suitable option based on your needs and expectations.

A brighter smile starts with the right treatment.

Professional teeth whitening removes stains caused by coffee, tea, wine and everyday ageing, helping your natural teeth appear brighter.

Porcelain and composite veneers improve the appearance of chipped, worn, uneven, discoloured or slightly misaligned teeth by reshaping the visible surface of your smile.

Dentist-led planning

Dr Caren helps you decide whether whitening or veneers fit your smile.

“Hi Dr Caren, I'm good after the tooth extraction. Thank you for treating me in the most assuring and comfortable manner. Might see you in the near future for denture.”

Kingsley

“As a neurodivergent patient, a trip to see the dentist has always been an overwhelming sensory and communication experience. However, I am lucky to have met Doctor Caren as she is an exceptionally kind, understanding and intuitive dentist. My three years experience with her has been great as she has helped me overcome my fear in dental procedures by explaining to me “Why” and “How” and also showing me how her tools work before we begin. Her assurance and calm manner puts my nerves at ease and make me feel that everything will be alright!”
