Whiter teeth are a common goal for many people. Over time, teeth can become stained or discoloured due to factors such as coffee, tea, red wine, smoking and natural aging. Teeth whitening treatments at Dr Patrick J. Meaney & Associates can offer a way to lighten tooth colour and enhance the overall appearance of a smile.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic option for those who want to address discolouration. Studies have shown that a bright smile can have a positive impact on confidence and first impressions. Whether for personal reasons or a special occasion, many individuals choose whitening treatments to refresh their smile.
Teeth whitening results vary depending on factors such as natural tooth colour, dietary habits and oral care routine. To arrange a consultation, call

Results vary based on diet, oral hygiene and lifestyle habits. In-office whitening can last six months to three years, depending on factors like coffee, tea and smoking. Regular dental cleanings and touch-up treatments can help maintain whitening effects for longer.
Teeth whitening is most effective on natural teeth with surface stains. It does not work on crowns, veneers, fillings or dentures. Grey or blue-toned discolouration may also be harder to whiten than yellow-toned stains.
Yes, but sensitivity may increase temporarily. In-office treatments often include desensitising agents to minimise discomfort. Lower-concentration whitening products or shorter treatment sessions may also be recommended for individuals with sensitive teeth.
After whitening, avoid dark-coloured foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, berries and soy sauce for at least 24-48 hours. Smoking and acidic foods can also affect results. Drinking through a straw and maintaining good oral hygiene can help preserve whitened teeth.
