It depends on the circumstance. Usually at home tooth whitening is the most effective and efficient way to whiten your teeth. To do this one of our hygienists or dentists will take impressions of your teeth and supply you with the custom made home whitening kit a week or so later.

Not only is the home whitening the best way to whiten your teeth, but you can also top up the whitening and control the colour of your teeth as you wish over many years.

In some cases tooth whitening treatment is not appropriate and other methods are required, such as veneers.

You should always have a check up and hygienist appointment before whitening your teeth.

Over time, our teeth pick up superficial stains from our food and drink. The good news is that we can remove the majority of this staining - simply visit one of our hygienists. Sometime stains are more stubborn or are 'part' of the tooth. You may need tooth whitening, veneers or other treatments to improve the appearance of these teeth - our staff can guide you on the most appropriate option for you.

Our preferred method of payment is bank transfer, and we accept most debit and credit cards, though not American Express.

We are also pleased to be able to offer you a finance plan to help you spread the cost of your dental treatment into monthly payments that are manageable for you. Options include 0% interest free payments up to 12 months.

Sadly not, we are a private practice only.
