Teeth whitening procedures improve the appearance of stained teeth. A healthier smile not only improves your appearance, but it can increase your confidence and make you look more youthful.
Teeth whitening treatments may be necessary due to:
Natural wear and tear—Through ageing, and regular wear and tear over time, our teeth may have a slightly more yellow appearance.
Daily lifestyle choices—Prolonged consumption of beverages such as wine and caffeinated drinks may stain the teeth.
Your dentist will take an impression of your teeth in order to fabricate custom dental trays.
You will be prescribed a tooth whitening gel to apply onto the dental trays, before placing them over your teeth. As this procedure may vary for individual patients, your dentist will advise you on the necessary duration for this treatment plan.
Your dentist will begin by cleaning the surfaces of your teeth before applying a whitening gel.
A special blue light is used to activate the whitening gel.
This process may be repeated several times to achieve the desired results.

Scaling and polishing are mainly done to remove calculus (hardened plaque) to prevent tooth decay and other oral diseases and is different from a teeth whitening procedure. It will help your natural teeth look slightly shinier and smoother, but it will not be as effective as teeth whitening products when it comes to discoloured teeth.
If your tooth discolouration or teeth stains are more severe, then a whitening toothpaste will not be as effective. As for whitening strips, their effect is also more temporary compared to a proper whitening gel from a dentist.
It is normal to experience tooth sensitivity after whitening your teeth. Sensitive teeth are temporary and typically go away after a few days. The dentist will advise you if any painkillers or other alternatives method is required if the sensitivity persist.
