A whiter, brighter smile is beautiful and can help you feel better about yourself and make a memorable impression. If you have stained or discoloured teeth, but otherwise like your smile the way it is, all you may need is a teeth whitening procedures to give you the smile you've always wanted. Our teeth normally become discolored over time and from staining on the surface from food and drinks such as tea, coffee and red wine and also smoking.

There are in-clinic and supervised at-home whitening systems to achieve significant improvements in the white scale of the teeth. Whitened teeth can be maintained at home using whitening strips, gels or tooth pastes to prevent discoloration occurring again.

Opalescence in-clinic: This technique uses a special gel to whiten the teeth using enhanced chemical activation. The gel activates itself as it sits on the teeth. It enables significantly whiter teeth after one visit to the clinic. The technique provides rapid results while being simple, effective and safe. It's a good wayout for people that are afraid of teeth surgery.

Opalescence at-home: This technique uses a plastic tray that has been fabricated to fit comfortably over a person's teeth. The tray’s material is soft plastic foil and therefore it is quite comfortable to wear. Your dentist will explain how to use the gel. You will place the Opalescence bleaching gel (carbamide peroxide) into the tray and the tray is then worn for several hours (usually overnight), allowing the whitening process to take place. Treatment takes between 3-5 days depending on the condition of the teeth.

There are lots of other kinds of treatment, but they are not worth trying. As usual they are expensive(as cosmetic surgery), or less effective(different means of herbal teeth whitening).
