Teeth Whitening

Visibly brighter teeth in a single in-clinic session, using dentist-supervised whitening that protects your enamel.

Overview

What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?

Professional in-clinic teeth whitening uses a dentist-supervised, higher-concentration bleaching gel to lift years of staining from coffee, tea, tobacco or simply age — in a single session, under controlled conditions that protect your gums and enamel throughout.

Unlike over-the-counter kits, in-clinic whitening at Apurva Dental Care starts with a check that your teeth and gums are healthy enough for bleaching, and finishes with shade-matched results you can see immediately.

The Process

What Happens, Step by Step

1

Shade Assessment

Your current tooth shade is recorded so you can see the exact improvement afterward.

2

Cleaning First

A quick scaling ensures surface plaque isn't blocking the whitening gel from reaching enamel.

3

Gum Protection

A protective barrier is applied to your gums and lips before any bleaching gel touches your teeth.

4

Whitening Application

Professional-strength gel is applied in controlled cycles, often activated with a curing light.

5

Shade Comparison

Your new shade is compared against the starting shade so the improvement is documented and visible.

Frequently Asked

Common Questions About Teeth Whitening

Most patients see an improvement of several shades in one session, though the exact result depends on the type and depth of staining.

Dentist-supervised whitening at controlled concentrations is safe for enamel. It's the unsupervised, over-the-counter approach that carries more risk of irritation.

Whitening gel only lightens natural tooth enamel — existing crowns, veneers or fillings won't change shade, which is worth planning around if you have visible restorations.

With good oral hygiene and limiting staining foods/drinks, results typically last 12–24 months before a touch-up is worth considering.

Your smile deserves expert care.
