Whitening Gel

Whitening Gel is a peroxide-based dental product, commonly formulated with hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, that bleaches intrinsic and extrinsic tooth stains by breaking down stain molecules within the enamel and dentine. Concentrations and formulations vary so products intended for dental clinics are typically stronger and act faster, while at-home gels are lower concentration and designed for gradual whitening under supervision.

Application methods include in‑office placement by a clinician with protective isolation, and at‑home use in custom trays or prefilled strips; both aim to achieve a lighter tooth shade but differ in speed and intensity. Whitening Gel can cause temporary tooth sensitivity and gum irritation, does not alter the colour of existing restorations like crowns or veneers, and should be used with dental guidance to manage risks and expectations, especially in cases of active decay, gum disease, pregnancy, or very thin enamel.
