Service Detail
Professional Teeth Whitening in Whitefield
Teeth can darken or stain because of food and drinks, tobacco, age-related changes, medication, or changes within the tooth. A dental assessment helps determine whether whitening is suitable.
Professional whitening is planned around your oral health and goals. Existing fillings, crowns, and veneers may not change colour in the same way as natural teeth.

Professional whitening and suitability
Whitening is generally considered only after the dentist checks for active decay, gum concerns, sensitivity, and restorations. The most suitable approach depends on your examination.
Treatment and aftercare
Your dentist will explain the planned whitening process and how to manage temporary sensitivity if it occurs. Limiting strongly staining foods and drinks may help maintain the change, though results vary.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will whitening change crowns or veneers?
Whitening changes natural tooth structure differently from many restorations. Your dentist can explain how existing dental work may affect the overall shade.
How long do whitening results last?
Results vary with the original cause of discoloration, diet, tobacco use, oral hygiene, and natural changes over time.
Can everyone have teeth whitening?
Not everyone is an immediate candidate. A dental assessment is needed to check oral health and whether whitening is appropriate.
