TEeth whitening for all
A brighter smile.
A fresher you.
If you’ve been feeling self-conscious about yellow teeth, stubborn stains, or a smile that looks dull no matter how much you brush, you’re not alone. Many patients come to BIG Dental saying they want a brighter, cleaner look, especially for work, events, or simply to feel more confident every day.
At BIG Dental, we specialise in professional, safe, dentist-supervised teeth whitening treatments designed to lift stains effectively and restore your natural brilliance. With advanced whitening systems and gentle techniques, we help you achieve a noticeably whiter smile in the safest way possible.
WHAT IS TEETH WHITENING?
Teeth whitening is a professional dental treatment that lightens the colour of your teeth using clinically approved whitening agents. These agents gently break down deep stains caused by coffee, tea, smoking, ageing, and everyday habits, helping your smile appear brighter and cleaner.
While over-the-counter whitening products can be safe, the safest choice is to only use dentist-approved products purchased from a clinic. Clinic-provided whitening systems are properly regulated, correctly formulated, and supervised by a dentist, ensuring you achieve effective results without harming your enamel or gums.
At BIG Dental, we offer both in-clinic and dentist-supervised take-home whitening options to give you a brighter smile safely and confidently.
Benefits of TEETH whitening
Fast, noticeable results

dentist-supervised
Your gums and enamel are fully protected. Dentists control the whitening strength to ensure maximum results with minimal sensitivity or irritation.

We adjusts whitening intensity based on your sensitivity level, existing fillings, and natural tooth shade, ensuring a comfortable experience.
Effective on stubborn stains
Professionally formulated gels are designed to remove deeper stains from coffee, tea, milk tea, wine and smoking effectively.

in-office whitening VS. whitening home kit
For your smile, your way.
When deciding between in-office whitening and an at-home kit, you're often choosing between the most powerful results and the most convenient process. Here’s how to determine which is right for your smile.
In-office whitening
The Power Play
The Process: A protective gel is applied to your gums, and a high-concentration whitening gel is applied to your teeth, often activated by a special light or laser.
Best For: Those seeking immediate, dramatic results for a special event or who want the most significant shade change possible.
Speed & Results: Noticeably whiter teeth in just 30 minutes.
Supervised & Safe: Performed by a professional, minimising risks.
Dramatic Transformation: Achieves a level of whiteness that is difficult to match at home.
Whitening Home kit
The Convenience Path
The Process: You use custom-fitted or standard trays with a gentle whitening gel for short periods each day over several weeks.
Best For: Those who prefer to whiten gradually and flexibly, and are comfortable with a DIY routine.
Flexibility & Comfort: Whiten at your own pace, at home.
Gradual Control: Slowly build to your perfect shade.
Control Your Shade: Perform quick "top-up" sessions whenever you need a brightness boost.
While each method is effective alone, they are a powerful team. Think of it this way:
1. In-Office Whitening is the Transformation. It's the major renovation that gives you a dramatic, instant result.
2. Your At-Home Kit is the Maintenance. It's the regular upkeep that preserves that brilliant transformation.
Using an at-home kit after your in-office treatment is the secret to making your results last. It allows you to:
Prolong Your Brilliance: Combat daily staining from coffee, tea, and wine, keeping your smile radiant for a year or more.
Maximize Your Investment: Protect the results of your in-office treatment, saving time and money on future touch-ups.
Control Your Shade: Perform quick "top-up" sessions whenever you need a brightness boost.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does teeth whitening work?
Teeth whitening uses safe, active ingredients in a gel form. The gel breaks down stain molecules on your teeth into smaller, less concentrated particles, which makes your teeth appear significantly whiter and brighter.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, when done under the supervision of a dental professional or using approved products as directed, teeth whitening is considered very safe. The most common side effects are temporary tooth sensitivity and mild gum irritation, which typically subside quickly after treatment.
How long do the results last?
Results are not permanent, but they can last from several months up to a year or more. Longevity depends entirely on your habits. To maintain your whiter smile, you'll need touch-up treatments and should limit consumption of stain-causing foods and drinks (like coffee, tea, and red wine).
Will whitening work on all my teeth?
Whitening only works on natural tooth enamel. It will not change the color of existing dental work, such as crowns, veneers, fillings, or bridges. If you have visible dental work, your dentist can advise you on how to achieve a uniform smile, which may involve replacing older restorations to match your newly whitened teeth.
Does whitening cause permanent tooth sensitivity?
No, the sensitivity experienced during or after whitening is almost always temporary. The sensation typically fades within 24-48 hours. Using toothpaste for sensitive teeth before and after your treatment can greatly help manage this.
Who is not a good candidate for teeth whitening?
You may not be a good candidate if you have:
- Untreated cavities or gum disease.
- Extremely sensitive teeth.
- Allergies to peroxide ingredients.
- Pregnant or nursing women (as a precaution).
What is the best way to maintain my results?
To make your whitening last longer:
- Practice excellent oral hygiene (brushing and flossing).
- Purchase a clinical approved whitening home kit and use it for periodic touch-ups.
- Rinse your mouth with water after consuming staining foods/drinks.
- Consider using a whitening toothpaste to help combat surface stains.
How often can I whiten my teeth?
Dentists typically recommend every 6–12 months, depending on lifestyle and tooth sensitivity. Over-whitening can cause enamel irritation.
