Tooth Whitening

Tooth whitening is available in our clinics in two techniques: • I n-house : Involves application of a stronger whitening gel to the tooth surface, by the dentist. Three applications are applied in one session. Total session may last for about one hour or more. • At home kits : Involves application of a relatively milder whitening gel to the tooth surface, by the patient himself/herself at home, under the guidance/instructions of the dentist using custom made trays. The gel is applied for a couple of hours in one session. A thorough scaling and polishing is essential before tooth whitening We use Opalescence (USA), Pola (Australia), HP Whiteness Maxx products. The results may vary from one person to another and from tooth to tooth. Multiple applications might be required to obtain the desired results To know more about tooth whitening, click here For additional information on tooth whitening, click here
