Can I still get my teeth whitened if I have sensitive teeth?

Yes, you can professionally whiten your teeth even if you have sensitivity issues. Our dental team performs a thorough clinical assessment before we recommend a whitening treatment for your smile, and we’ll do everything we can to keep you comfortable during and after treatment.

Keeping You Comfortable Is Key

We offer both in-office and take-home whitening options, giving you plenty of choices to fit your lifestyle and sensitivity level.

There are numerous ways we can deal with tooth sensitivity in our dental clinic, including the following:

  • We can use lower-strength whitening gels to reduce nerve irritation and sensitivity.
  • We can apply a protective barrier on your gums to keep the whitening gel from making contact.
  • We can apply a desensitising gel before or after your whitening treatment.
  • We use only customised whitening trays that fit snugly over your teeth, greatly decreasing the chances of the peroxide gel from encountering your gum tissue.
