A brighter smile, planned carefully
04Professional teeth whitening
Whitening can lighten many natural-tooth stains, but it does not change the colour of fillings, crowns, veneers, or dentures. An examination helps identify sensitivity, decay, gum concerns, and whether cleaning should come first.
Planning range only · Pending Manit clinic approval

Common questions
Teeth whitening
Will my teeth become perfectly white?
No responsible plan can promise one exact shade. Results depend on your natural tooth colour, stain type, age, and previous dental work.
Can whitening cause sensitivity?
Temporary sensitivity can occur. Tell the dentist if your teeth are already sensitive so the plan can be adjusted.
Should I whiten before getting a front crown or filling?
Often, yes. Whitening first can allow the final restoration colour to be matched to the brighter shade, but the dentist should plan the sequence with you.
