Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental procedure that can dramatically improve your smile by lightening discoloured teeth. This non-invasive treatment is widely available in Singapore, offering various options to suit different needs and budgets.

 

Understanding Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a process that uses bleaching agents to remove stains and discolouration from teeth, resulting in a brighter, more attractive smile. While effective, teeth whitening is not a permanent solution and may need to be repeated periodically to maintain results.

Common causes of teeth discolouration include:

• Consumption of staining foods and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine)
• Smoking or tobacco use
• Age-related changes
• Certain medications
• Poor oral hygiene

 

Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening in Singapore

Teeth whitening is one of the most sought-after cosmetic dental procedures, offering a quick and effective way to brighten your smile. Professional teeth whitening in Singapore comes with numerous benefits, ensuring you achieve the best results in the safest manner possible. Beyond just enhancing your appearance, professional whitening is non-invasive, provides quick results, and is customised to your specific needs. With professional supervision, the process is tailored to minimise any potential side effects, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience for a brighter, more confident smile.

• Enhanced Appearance: A whiter smile can significantly boost your confidence and overall appearance.
• Non-Invasive: Unlike veneers or crowns, teeth whitening doesn’t alter tooth structure.
• Quick Results: Many in-office treatments can show noticeable improvements in one session.
• Customised Treatment: Dentists can tailor the whitening process to your needs and sensitivity levels.
• Safety: Professional supervision ensures the procedure is safe and minimises potential side effects.

 

Types of Teeth Whitening Services in Singapore

At our dental clinic, we offer a variety of teeth whitening options to cater to your individual needs and preferences. Our in-office treatments are perfect for those looking for an immediate boost.

We also offer specialised internal whitening for teeth that have undergone root canal therapy. Each option is designed to safely and effectively enhance your smile, ensuring you achieve the best possible results.

Without a thermal effect, it doesn’t dehydrate the enamel either. TEETH @ Tiong Bahru is proud to be a BlancOne Gold Authorised Centre in Singapore.

3. Opalescence Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kits (6 weeks)

 

Our Opalescence take-home teeth whitening products use a professional whitening gel available only through licensed dental professionals such as TEETH @ Tiong Bahru.

Our dental team will first take an accurate record of the initial shade of your teeth. Customised trays will be made specifically for your teeth. Our dentist will show you how to place the home whitening gel within the trays with detailed instructions on how to avoid unnecessary trauma to the gums and soft tissues to mitigate issues with sensitivity.

Our clinic will monitor your progress with a follow-up appointment after a few weeks. Throughout the process, our dentist and dental team will always be available to answer any questions that you may have.

On average, patients notice whiter teeth within 6 weeks of daily use of the Opalescence take-home kits.

Pros:

• Convenient
• Less expensive than in-office treatments
• Gradual whitening process may reduce sensitivity

Cons:

• Requires consistent use over several weeks
• Results may take longer to appear

 

4. Internal Teeth Whitening

Internal whitening effectively treats individual teeth that have become discoloured after root canal treatment. The access previously used to carry out the root canal is reopened. Debris from the pulp chamber is cleared, and any excess filling material is removed. The whitening gel is then placed directly in the cavity. The tooth is re-sealed to brighten the tooth from the inside out. This process may need to be repeated a few times, depending on the depth of discolouration.

This treatment option targets discolouration to reduce the need for a dental crown or veneer.

Pros:

• Targets specific discoloured teeth
• Can prevent the need for more invasive treatments like veneers

Cons:

• Only applicable for root canal-treated teeth
• May require multiple sessions

Choosing a Teeth Whitening Dentist in Singapore

When selecting a dentist for teeth whitening in Singapore, consider the following factors: look for dentists with specific training in cosmetic dentistry. Inquire about the whitening systems they use and why. A reputable dentist should offer a thorough examination and discuss your options before recommending treatment.

Maintaining Your Whitened Smile

To maintain your whitened smile, practise excellent oral hygiene by brushing and flossing daily to prevent stains and plaque buildup. Avoid staining foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries, or use a straw to minimise contact with your teeth. Refrain from smoking, as tobacco can cause significant discolouration. 

Regular dental check-ups and cleanings will help keep your teeth in top condition. Additionally, consider using whitening toothpaste or at-home touch-up kits, as recommended by your dentist, to prolong the brightness of your smile.

Teeth whitening services in Singapore offer a range of options to suit various needs and budgets. From quick in-office treatments to gradual at-home solutions, there’s a whitening method for everyone. By choosing a reputable dentist and following proper maintenance, you can achieve and maintain a brighter, more confident smile.
