Are you looking for an effective way to achieve a brighter, more youthful smile? Teeth whitening is one of the most popular solutions for removing stains and discolouration, giving your teeth a healthier and more radiant appearance.
What Causes Teeth Discolouration?
Our daily habits can significantly affect the colour of our teeth. Some of the most common culprits include:
- Smoking
- Drinking coffee, black tea, or soda
- Certain medications, like tetracycline, especially when taken at a young age
- Genetics, as some people naturally have brighter enamel than others
How to Whiten Your Teeth
There are two main teeth whitening options available to fit your lifestyle and budget:
1. In-Office Teeth Whitening
In-office whitening delivers dramatic results in just one treatment. This procedure uses a high-concentration peroxide gel applied by a trained professional after your gums are protected with a special barrier.
- Quick results: Immediate improvements in the brightness of your smile
- Long-lasting effects: With proper care, your results can last for years
2. At-Home Teeth Whitening
At-home whitening kits are a convenient alternative for gradual whitening. At PretoriaSmile, we provide custom-made trays and the Opalescence® take-home kit to ensure optimal results.
- Flexibility: Wear your trays at night or for a few hours during the day
- Gradual results: Full effects are visible within two to three weeks
Our oral hygienist will recommend the best approach based on your unique needs and lifestyle.
Teeth Whitening FAQs

The longevity of your results depends on your lifestyle. Regularly consuming coffee, tea, or red wine and smoking may require more frequent touch-ups compared to someone who avoids these habits.
How White Can My Teeth Get?
Results vary based on individual enamel characteristics. With Zoom! With whitening treatments, you can expect your teeth to become 6 to 10 shades lighter than their original colour.
