Teeth Whitening

Put the sparkle back into your smile.

About this treatment

We all want our smiles to shine bright, but even with the most diligent care, life has a way of dulling them down.

The culprits? Time, wine, and all those other smile-spoiling inevitabilities.

Thankfully, our prescription-only teeth whitening treatments are here to help bring back the brilliance.

But with so many teeth whitening options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one.

At Pear Dental, we simplify the process by matching you with a prescription-only whitening treatment tailored to your specific needs.

We offer regular and advanced at-home teeth whitening treatments, including the Enlighten system, which for those seeking a brilliantly-white look, guarantees a B1 shade – the whitest on the scale.

Your whitening journey begins with a thorough dental health review, which includes x-rays, digital imaging, and a professional hygiene clean. This ensures your teeth are in perfect condition before starting the whitening process.

At-home whitening treatments are more popular than the old fashioned in-studio systems because they allow you to achieve your desired shade gradually, over a few weeks, in the comfort of your home.

During your visit, we’ll perform a quick and painless digital scan of your teeth to create customised whitening trays. These trays are 3D printed to fit your smile perfectly, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.

The trays hold the whitening formula in place, and we’ll prescribe the appropriate strength based on your whitening goals.

At your second visit, we’ll show you how to fit the whitening trays and how to safely use the syringe gels, as well as how to care for your whitening equipment between use.

No matter your budget, or which plan you choose, you can expect to see results in as little as three weeks with daily use – delivering a brighter smile with fewer trips to the studio.

Treatment options

When it comes to teeth whitening, both of our treatment packages each have their perks.

We’ll have time to discuss the options in depth during your initial consult – but to give you a flavour, here’s an overview:

Enlighten is our premium at-home whitening option, guaranteeing a B1 shade – that’s the brightest white possible. As with our Standard plan, Enlighten gradually increases in strength, keeping sensitivity to a minimum, which makes it super comfy for your teeth. You can start to see results within just a few days, with the final glow-up landing about two or three weeks in.

Our Standard at-home whitening plan is a solid choice, particularly if reaching that brilliant-white B1 shade is not a priority for you. Many patients are looking to achieve a more subtle and natural-looking shade lift, rather than an out-and-out transformation, and our standard plan is perfect for that.

There’s no need to overpay. If you’re after the whitest smile possible, we generally recommend Enlighten. If a beaming B1-shade is not your priority, and you are looking for a more subtle shade lift, our standard plan is usually perfectly adequate.

If you’re unsure which is right for you, fear not – both options can be explored in your initial consult.

Frequently asked questions

Is whitening right for me?

Our teeth whitening treatments always start with a comprehensive dental health review (including a check-up, x-rays, digital imaging and hygiene clean).

It is important that we ensure there are no cavities or other issues with your teeth, and that you do not have gum disease, before we start.

It’s worth bearing in mind that some patients experience temporary sensitivity when using the whitening gels. This is nothing to be alarmed about.

Your dentist will take the time to explain the pros and cons at your initial visit, before you commit to going ahead with the treatment.

Is whitening safe?

Teeth whitening is a perfectly safe form of treatment, providing it is correctly prescribed. That’s why we begin all of our treatments with a comprehensive dental health review (including a check-up, and x-rays, digital imaging and hygiene treatment).

Foods to avoid

When undertaking teeth whitening treatment, we recommend members avoid food and drink that are likely to stain your teeth, for a period of 5-7 days.

When thinking about which food and drink to avoid, think about laundry. If it would stain a white shirt, you should avoid eating it if you can.

When can I expect to see results?

Most patients can expect to see results within 2-3 weeks with daily use of the at-home whitening gels.

How long will the results last?

With our popular at-home whitening treatments, patients can expect to see results within 2-3 weeks with daily use.

Results can vary but generally speaking, will last for up to two years.

Routine whitening top-ups will be required from then on to maintain that brilliant white smile. This is exactly the same process as the initial at-home whitening.

Your individual experience will generally depend mostly on lifestyle factors – whether you are a smoker, whether you drink black coffee, whether you are partial to a large malbec and so on.

Will my teeth stain easier afterwards?

When undertaking teeth whitening treatment, we recommend members avoid food and drink that are likely to stain your teeth for 5-7 days days.

When thinking about which food and drink to avoid, think about laundry. If it would stain a white shirt, avoid it if you can.

Can this really turn my teeth white?

Results will vary from patient to patient. If you complete the whitening treatment but feel like you’d like to go a few shades whiter still, additional whitening gels can be purchased to continue the treatment process.
