Teeth whitening is a procedure performed in-office to improve the teeth color that may have become discolored or yellowish due to factors such as genetics, age, or personal habits such as drinking or smoking.

The treatment can be used for people of all ages and is done using safe teeth-bleaching chemicals. The main aim of teeth whitening is to help improve a "dull" smile, restoring brightness and ensure patients have a more energized smile than ever.

Without shaving and coating, teeth whitening involves bleaching teeth by using a chemical to decompose the pigments of teeth to bring out the whiteness of the teeth themselves. Unlike the whiteness of tiles, you will achieve the natural brightness and whiteness of your teeth.

At our affiliated clinic, the whitening gel is used before being accelerated by the aid of LED Light.

The main component of whitening gel is adjusted urea peroxide and hydrogen peroxide, which are used in oxydol (disinfectant). These contain an active whitening ingredient that penetrates your enamel in order to get to pigments, which are essentially discolored molecules.

Oxygen molecules in the gel react with the discolored molecules in your teeth, decomposing the pigments and whitening your teeth.

Q1: Can any kind of teeth go through the whitening treatment?
A1: Yes, unless there is dental cavity. If you have teeth cavities, please do get treatment for cavity first.
Whitening is only effective on actual teeth, and naturally-caused yellowing. Whitening treatment will not be effective on artificial tooth, fillings and extensions.

Q2: How long will it take until my teeth turn white?
A2: It varies, but it generally takes 2 to 5 treatments to see a difference. Whitening will have greater effect as more treatment is done. Teeth whitening treatment is not like colouring your hair, in which results are obtained immediately. Multiple treatments are needed over time and results will become visible gradually. The amount of treatment needed, permanence and tooth sensitivity after treatment varies significantly across individuals.

Q3: How white will the result be?
A3: There will be limits on the whiteness level. However, the more treatments undergone, the whiter it gets. The beauty of your teeth does not only depend on level of whiteness. The transparency, reflection of light and various factors matter as well. By diligently attending treatments, you will achieve not only whiter teeth, but also other beauty factors as well.

Q4: Once treatment is completed, will the teeth remain white permanently?
A4: Yellowing due to daily wear and tear is unavoidable. Therefore, it is recommended that you properly care for your teeth even after treatment. After multiple treatments, teeth are more resistant against yellowing. Please take care and maintain your teeth just like how you would take care of your hair and skin.

Q5: Will the treatment be painful?
A5: Those with very sensitive teeth will feel some pain. However, the pain is temporary. If you are concerned about the pain, the strength of treatment can be adjusted.

Q6: Is the medicine safe?
A6: The medicine is absolutely safe. It is recognized in the field of dentistry around the world. It is made with similar components as mouth disinfectant and therefore it is completely harmless to your teeth and body. These components are standard in any teeth whitening products.

A7: The medicine decomposes the dirt and stain absorbed by the teeth. Such dirt and stains cannot be removed by regular brushing.

Q8: Is there anything I need to look out for after my whitening treatment?
A8: A guide on food restrictions will be given after your treatment.
