Tooth Whitening

Brighten your smile by several shades in just one visit.

What Is Professional Tooth Whitening?

A brighter smile can make a lasting impression. Tooth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments — safe, effective, and capable of lightening the natural shade of your teeth without causing damage.

The Whitening Process

Professional whitening begins with a thorough dental check-up to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy. A customized whitening plan is then created, which may involve in-clinic whitening, take-home trays, or a combination of both.

In-Clinic Whitening

A concentrated whitening gel is applied to the teeth under controlled conditions, often activated by a special light. Results are visible in a single session.

Take-Home Trays

Custom-fitted trays are provided along with a professional-grade whitening gel. Patients wear the trays daily for a prescribed period, achieving gradual and even whitening.

This tailored approach ensures maximum results with minimal sensitivity.

Ideal Patient Criteria

Tooth whitening works best for patients who:

  • Have healthy teeth and gums without untreated cavities or gum disease.
  • Have yellow or light brown discoloration, which typically responds well to whitening.
  • Are non-smokers or are willing to limit staining habits (such as tea, coffee, or tobacco use) after treatment.
  • Are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Do not have extensive restorations (e.g., crowns, veneers, or fillings) in the front teeth, as these will not change shade and may require replacement for a uniform result.

Patients with grey or tetracycline stains may still benefit, but results may vary and often require a more customized approach.
