Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Over-the-counter whitening strips and drugstore kits are widely available, but they can’t match the results or safety of professional treatment. At Bloom Dental Aesthetic, our whitening treatments are supervised by Dr Leani Rabie and tailored to your specific tooth shade, sensitivity level, and desired outcome.

Whether you’re preparing for a wedding, a special event, or simply want to feel more confident in your daily life, professional whitening delivers results that last — without the guesswork or the risk of enamel damage from unsupervised products.

Somerset West and the wider Helderberg community trust Bloom Dental Aesthetic for cosmetic dental treatments that are safe, effective, and genuinely transformative. Our in-chair treatment can lighten teeth up to 8 shades in a single 60–90 minute session, while our custom take-home trays give you the flexibility to whiten at your own pace.

Is professional whitening right for you?

Whitening works best on natural tooth enamel and is not effective on crowns, veneers, or composite fillings. If you have these restorations, we’ll discuss the best approach during your consultation to ensure your overall smile looks consistent and natural. Book a consultation with Dr Rabie to find out which option is right for you.

FAQs

  • Professional teeth whitening results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on your lifestyle habits. Avoiding foods and drinks that stain (like coffee, red wine, and curry) and following good oral hygiene can help extend the brightness of your smile.

  • For the first 48 hours after your whitening treatment, avoid foods and beverages that can stain teeth, including:

    • Coffee and tea

    • Red wine

    • Tomato-based sauces

    • Berries

    • Soy sauce
      Stick to white or light-colored foods like chicken, rice, cauliflower, and milk. Drinking through a straw can also help reduce contact with teeth.

  • Some people experience temporary tooth sensitivity after whitening, especially to cold or sweet foods. This is normal and usually subsides within 24–72 hours. We offer desensitizing gels and can recommend toothpaste specifically designed to reduce sensitivity if needed.

  • When done professionally, teeth whitening is safe and does not damage enamel. Our treatments use dentist-approved formulas and are applied under expert supervision to protect your teeth and gums. Over-the-counter kits can be more abrasive or misused, increasing the risk of enamel erosion.

  • Whitening lifts stains and brightens your natural tooth color, but it won’t make your teeth unnaturally white. Each person’s enamel has a natural shade, so results will vary. Our treatments aim to enhance your natural smile—not create an artificial look.

  • Teeth whitening treatments do not work on porcelain or composite restorations. This means fillings, veneers, or crowns will not change color. We’ll assess your dental work during your consultation to ensure a consistent overall result.

  • In-chair whitening delivers faster results—up to 8 shades lighter in 60–90 minutes. Take-home kits are ideal if you prefer a more gradual process over 1–2 weeks. Both use professional-grade gel and custom-fitted trays for even, safe whitening.
