Tooth Whitening

We Want You To Wear Your Smile Proudly

They say that a smile is the best accessory one can have. At Dentalnook, we believe everyone deserves a radiant smile that boosts their confidence. Teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to remove stains and brighten your teeth. Whether you are preparing for a special occasion or just want to enhance your everyday look, our expert team is here to guide you through the process and deliver dazzling results.

Why Our Teeth Turn Dull, Yellow, or Discolored?

Discolored teeth can result from various factors, including:

• Consuming beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, or dark sodas can stain your teeth over time.
• Tobacco use is a common cause of yellowing or staining.
• The enamel on your teeth thins as you age, exposing the yellowish dentin underneath.
• Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to plaque buildup, which dulls the natural brightness of your teeth.
• Antibiotics like tetracycline or excessive fluoride exposure can cause discoloration.

Types of Teeth Whitening at Dentalnook

We offer two professional teeth whitening options to suit your needs:

1. In-Office Whitening: Our in-office whitening procedure provides fast and dramatic results. Teeth whitening procedure should always be done on teeth that are squeaky clean. Therefore, we commence our procedure only after a round of professional dental cleaning. The first step of the whitening procedure is the application of a special barrier for protecting your gums and lips. Next, a professional-grade whitening gel is carefully applied to your teeth. A specialized light or laser is used to activate the whitening agent, breaking down stains and discoloration. In about an hour, you will notice your teeth are several shades whiter. This method is ideal for those seeking immediate results.
2. At-Home Whitening Kits: For those who prefer the convenience of whitening at home, we provide custom-made trays and professional-grade whitening gel. To begin with, we take impressions of your teeth to create trays that fit perfectly. You will receive a whitening gel and detailed guidance on how to use it. Wear the trays as directed, usually for a few hours a day or overnight, depending on your preference. Results become noticeable within a week.

When Does Teeth Whitening Work?

Teeth whitening is effective for:

• Surface stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, or smoking.
• Natural yellowing due to aging.
• Mild to moderate discoloration.

When Teeth Whitening May Not Work?

Teeth whitening may not work for:

• If discoloration comes from certain medications or overexposure to fluoride, the stains might not respond to whitening treatments. These types of stains are often deep within the tooth structure.
• Crowns, veneers, and fillings don’t play along with whitening products. These restorations are made from materials that maintain their original shade, no matter how many whitening treatments you try.
• Deep intrinsic stains may require alternative cosmetic solutions like veneers or bonding to achieve that bright, confident smile.
