Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at enhancing the brightness of one's smile. In Singapore, this treatment has gained rapid popularity due to the aesthetic appeal it offers, contributing significantly to an individual’s confidence and self-esteem.
A radiant smile often facilitates social interactions and influences first impressions, making it a sought-after service in modern society.

A brighter smile can significantly impact your overall appearance and self-esteem. The aesthetic benefits include:

What Are the Different Teeth Whitening Options in Singapore?
In-Office Teeth Whitening
At-Home Teeth Whitening Kits
Natural Remedies
During a professional treatment, patients can expect a safe and supervised environment where advanced techniques are employed for immediate results and can sometimes be harmful.
These At-Home Whitening kits are now the more popular choice over the In-Office Whitening as there is the option of long-term maintenance of your whiter smile at home.
While many are curious about home-based solutions, the efficacy of natural remedies remains questionable, warranting careful consideration before trying them.
We will customise trays that fit exactly to your teeth and then educate you on how to apply the gel into the trays before wearing them. These differ to the ones obtained over-the-counter at pharmacies and online stores, which do not come with customised trays.

How Can You Achieve the Best Results from Teeth Whitening?
To achieve the best results from teeth whitening, proper preparation and maintenance are crucial. Before treatment, ensure your teeth are clean and free of plaque and tartar, and avoid consuming stain-causing foods and drinks. After the treatment, regular dental cleanings will help maintain the cleanliness of your teeth, and continuing to avoid stain-causing foods and drinks will prolong the results.
​
To keep your smile bright, it is essential to avoid certain habits and foods post-treatment. Stain-causing foods like coffee, tea, and red wine should be limited, and tobacco use, whether smoking or chewing, should be avoided as it can significantly discolour your teeth. By following these guidelines, you can enjoy a brighter, more radiant smile for several months.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
To achieve the best results from teeth whitening, it is essential to prepare your teeth properly:
Clean Teeth: Ensure your teeth are clean and free of plaque and tartar.
Avoid Stains: Avoid consuming stain-causing foods and drinks before treatment.
Longevity of Results
The results of teeth whitening can last for several months with proper maintenance:
Regular Cleanings: Maintain regular dental cleanings to keep your teeth clean.
Avoid Stains: Continue to avoid stain-causing foods and drinks.
Post-Treatment Care
To maintain your bright smile, avoid:
Stain-Causing Foods: Coffee, tea, and red wine can stain your teeth.
Tobacco: Smoking and chewing tobacco can significantly discolour your teeth.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth whitening starts with a chemical process which breaks down the colour molecules (stains) in your teeth. The process can be done in our clinic or at home with custom-fitted trays and whitening gel.
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last?
The duration of teeth whitening results can vary depending on your lifestyle and oral hygiene habits. On average, professional teeth whitening can last from 6 months to 2 years. Regular touch-ups and good oral care can help maintain the results.
Can Anyone Get Teeth Whitening?
Not everyone is a candidate for teeth whitening. Patients with sensitive teeth, gum recession, or certain dental restorations may not be suitable. Additionally, teeth whitening does not work on dental fillings, crowns, or veneers. Our dentist will assess your teeth to determine if whitening is right for you.
