Your dentist can assess your teeth, discuss the type of discolouration you have and recommend a whitening approach suited to your smile.<\/p>\n    <p>Whether you\u2019re preparing for a special occasion or simply want to refresh the appearance of your teeth, professional whitening allows treatment to be planned and supervised by a dental professional.<\/p>\n\n    <!-- Causes -->\n    <h2>What Causes Teeth to Become Discoloured?<\/h2>\n    <p>The natural colour of teeth varies between individuals and can gradually change over time.<\/p>\n    <p>Surface staining can develop from everyday habits and lifestyle factors, including:<\/p>\n    <div class=\"wd-panel\">\n      <ul class=\"wd-check wd-check--three\">\n        <li>Coffee and tea<\/li>\n        <li>Red wine<\/li>\n        <li>Cola and other dark-coloured drinks<\/li>\n        <li>Certain foods<\/li>\n        <li>Smoking and tobacco<\/li>\n        <li>Natural changes to the enamel over time<\/li>\n      <\/ul>\n    <\/div>\n    <p class=\"wd-after\">Different types of discolouration respond differently to whitening, which is why we recommend having your teeth assessed before beginning treatment.<\/p>\n\n    <!-- Zoom -->\n    <h2>Philips Zoom!

Depending on the whitening system being used, specialised light technology may then be used as part of the treatment process.<\/p>\n    <p>Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed uses an LED accelerator together with its whitening gel.<\/p>\n    <p>Professional in-chair whitening is designed for patients who would prefer to complete their treatment during a dental appointment rather than gradually whitening their teeth at home.<\/p>\n\n    <h3 class=\"wd-sub\">How Long Does In-Chair Whitening Take?<\/h3>\n    <div class=\"wd-stat\">\n      <div class=\"wd-stat__num\">60<span>minutes<\/span><\/div>\n

class=\"wd-sub\">Who May Benefit From In-Chair Whitening?<\/h3>\n    <p>Professional whitening may be suitable for patients wanting to reduce visible staining or lighten the natural shade of their teeth.<\/p>\n    <p>It may be particularly useful for external staining associated with:<\/p>\n    <div class=\"wd-panel\">\n      <ul class=\"wd-check wd-check--three\">\n        <li>Coffee<\/li>\n

Take-home -->\n    <h2>Take-Home Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n    <h3 class=\"wd-sub\">What Is Take-Home Whitening?<\/h3>\n    <p>Take-home professional whitening provides an alternative for patients who would prefer to gradually whiten their teeth at home.<\/p>\n    <p>Rather than using a generic whitening tray, impressions or scans of your teeth are used to create custom-fitted trays.<\/p>\n    <p>Whitening gel is placed inside these trays, which are then worn according to the instructions provided by your dentist.<\/p>\n    <p>Treatment may continue at specified intervals for up to approximately 14 days, depending on the system and your individual treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n    <h3 class=\"wd-sub\">Benefits of Take-Home Whitening<\/h3>\n    <p>Take-home whitening allows you to complete treatment gradually while still using a professionally prescribed whitening system.
