Why order matters

Why a cleaning comes before whitening

A professional cleaning helps remove the soft film and surface staining that build up over time. With that layer gently cleared away, your natural tooth surface is more exposed, which may help whitening work more evenly.

  • Helps lift surface buildup so the tooth, not the film, takes the spotlight.
  • Supports a more even, natural-looking result for your photos.
  • Gives our hygienists a chance to check in on comfort and sensitivity first.

Every smile is different. Your hygienist will talk through what is suitable for you and keep your comfort at the centre of the plan.
