This covers the treatments that keep teeth looking clean and natural — professional scaling and polishing, air-flow stain removal, tooth-coloured fillings and whitening. A dentist examines you first to confirm your teeth and gums are healthy enough, then plans the shade with you.
Teeth Whitening & Aesthetic Treatments
These are the treatments that keep teeth looking clean, even and natural — cleaning and polishing, stain removal, tooth-coloured fillings and whitening.
A dentist examines you first. Whitening only works on natural tooth structure, and only when the teeth and gums are healthy, so any decay or gum problem is treated before we start.
Professional Cleaning & Polishing
Scaling removes plaque and hardened tartar that brushing cannot reach, particularly below the gum line. It is the single most useful appointment for keeping teeth and gums healthy.
Polishing afterwards smooths the tooth surface so plaque takes longer to build up again.
Air-Flow Stain Removal
A fine jet of water, air and powder lifts surface staining from tea, coffee, tobacco and paan. It is quicker and more comfortable than scraping, and reaches grooves a scaler cannot.
This removes stains on the surface. It does not change the natural colour of the tooth underneath — that is what whitening does.
Teeth Whitening
Whitening lightens the natural shade of your teeth using a bleaching gel. We offer it two ways:
- In the clinic — a stronger gel applied under supervision, in one appointment.
- At home — custom-made trays and a milder gel you use for two to four weeks.
Some people find their teeth or gums become temporarily sensitive during treatment. A desensitising toothpaste usually settles it, and sensitivity resolves once treatment stops.
Whitening does not change the colour of existing crowns, veneers or fillings. If you have them at the front, they may need replacing afterwards to match.
Tooth-Coloured Fillings
A filling replaces tooth structure lost to decay or damage. All our fillings are tooth-coloured composite, shade-matched to the tooth.
The tooth is numbed, decay is removed, and the composite is bonded in layers, cured, shaped and polished. Most are done in one visit.
How Long Results Last
Whitening typically lasts one to three years. Tea, coffee, red wine, tobacco and paan shorten that considerably.
Six-monthly cleaning appointments keep surface staining under control and let us check that everything is still healthy underneath.
