Brighten your smile with professional whitening
Teeth whitening can help reduce the appearance of stains and discolouration caused by coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, some foods and natural ageing. At The Ruthy Clinic in Launceston, whitening is provided under dental supervision so your teeth, gums and sensitivity risk can be assessed before treatment.
Professional whitening is often used as a standalone cosmetic treatment or as part of broader smile planning before veneers, restorations or cosmetic dentistry.
The goal is to brighten your smile in a way that suits your teeth, oral health and comfort.
Teeth whitening options at The Ruthy Clinic
In-chair whitening
In-chair whitening is performed at the clinic using professional whitening gel and light activation where suitable. It may be appropriate for patients wanting a brighter result in a shorter timeframe.
Take-home whitening trays
Custom take-home trays are made to fit your teeth. You use dentist-approved whitening gel at home according to instructions provided by the clinic.
Whitening before cosmetic dentistry
Whitening may be recommended before veneers, crowns or cosmetic restorations so the final shade can be planned around your preferred tooth colour.
Is whitening suitable for everyone?
Not always. Before whitening, your dentist will check for issues such as decay, gum inflammation, exposed root surfaces, cracks, leaking fillings, heavy staining or sensitivity.
Whitening does not change the colour of existing crowns, veneers or fillings. If you have visible restorations, your dentist will explain how this may affect your result.
Whitening and sensitive teeth
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity during or after whitening. This is why assessment matters. Your dentist can discuss sensitivity risk and may recommend changes to the treatment plan, desensitising products or alternative timing.
