Professional Teeth
Whitening in Singapore

Reducing Stains and Lighten Your Teeth 

Stained or dull teeth are common and usually harmless, but they can affect how confident you feel about your smile. Coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco leave stains on the enamel over time, while ageing naturally darkens teeth from within. Professional teeth whitening is available through our in-clinic whitening treatment or a customised take-home whitening tray with prescribed whitening gel, allowing you to choose an option that suits your needs and lifestyle.

Why Do Teeth Darken Over Time?

Even with excellent oral hygiene, teeth get slightly darker as you age. The outer enamel layer thins over the years, letting more of the yellowish dentin underneath show through. On top of that, everyday habits such as drinking coffee, tea or red wine, or using tobacco, add surface stains that accumulate gradually. Teeth whitening can help reverse this natural change.

Importance of Teeth Whitening and
Why You Might Need It

Teeth Whitening Singapore Treatment

Teeth whitening reduces discolouration by breaking down stains with a bleaching gel, restoring a lighter, more even shade. Dentists group stains into two categories.

  • Extrinsic stains affect the enamel surface and generally respond well to whitening. 
  • Intrinsic stains develop inside the tooth, often linked to certain medications, dental trauma, or genetics, and can be more stubborn to treat.

A single tooth that looks noticeably darker than the rest, or staining with a grey or brown tone, is more likely intrinsic and worth flagging to your dentist before choosing a whitening method.

    Frequently Asked Questions About dePacific Dental’s Teeth Whitening Treatment

    How much does teeth whitening cost?

    Teeth whitening at dePacific ranges from $580 to $1,280 before GST, depending on whether you choose a home kit, in-office treatment, or a combination of both.

    Can scaling and polishing help to whiten teeth?

    Scaling and polishing removes hardened plaque to help prevent decay and gum disease, which can make teeth look slightly shinier. It is not a substitute for whitening and will not lighten discolouration the way a whitening gel does.

    Can I use whitening toothpaste or whitening strips instead?

    Whitening toothpaste and strips can help with mild surface staining, but they are less effective on more noticeable discolouration and tend to give shorter-lasting results than a dentist-prescribed whitening gel.

    What are some side effects of teeth whitening?

    Tooth sensitivity is the most common side effect and is usually temporary, settling within a few days. Your dentist can recommend a desensitising step or advise on managing sensitivity if it persists. Patients with worn enamel, receding gums, sensitive teeth, untreated cavities or heavily restored teeth should have a dentist assess suitability first.

    How long will the results last?

    Results generally last 1 to 3 years, depending on your diet, oral hygiene and habits such as smoking or drinking coffee, tea or red wine. Touch-up sessions can help maintain your results for longer.

    How many shades of whiter will my teeth get?

    This varies by individual and depends on how stained your teeth were to begin with, we can typically go up to 8 shades lighter depending on case-by-case basis.

    How do I care for and maintain my results after the procedure?

    Avoid strongly pigmented food and drink such as coffee, tea, red wine and curry for the first day or two, and keep up regular brushing, flossing and dental visits. Whitening toothpaste and periodic touch-ups can help extend your results.

    What are the available payment methods at dePacific Dental?

    We accept cash, Paynow, Nets and all major credit cards.
