Teeth Whitening
Get a brighter, whiter smile in just one visit. Professional teeth whitening that transforms your appearance without damaging your teeth.
What is professional teeth whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is a safe, effective cosmetic treatment that lightens the shade of your teeth by breaking down surface and deep stains. Unlike over-the-counter products, dentist-grade whitening uses professional-strength peroxide gels that deliver faster, more dramatic results.
At Krishna Dental, we offer both in-office whitening for instant results and custom at-home trays for gradual whitening. In-office treatments are completed in 45 to 60 minutes, while at-home kits deliver beautiful results over 2 to 3 weeks with the convenience of treatment at your schedule.
Common causes of discolouration
Coffee, tea & wine
Dark beverages and acidic drinks are leading causes of tooth discoloration. Their pigments stick to tooth enamel over time, creating stubborn stains.
Tobacco use
Smoking and chewing tobacco cause severe, yellow-brown stains that are difficult to remove with regular brushing alone.
Age & natural wear
As you age, the protective enamel layer thins, revealing the darker dentin underneath. This is a natural, inevitable process.
Medications
Certain antibiotics (like tetracycline), antihistamines, and other medications can cause intrinsic tooth discoloration over time.
The whitening process
Dental examination
We examine your teeth and gums to ensure they're healthy and suitable for whitening. We'll address any cavities or gum issues first.
Shade assessment
We determine your current tooth shade using a professional shade guide. We'll discuss your desired shade and what's realistically achievable.
Protective preparation
We protect your gums with a barrier and apply a desensitising agent if you have sensitive teeth. Your lips are protected with petroleum jelly.
Whitening application
Professional-grade whitening gel is carefully applied to the front surface of each tooth. The gel is left to work for 15-minute intervals, often with activating light.
Results review
We rinse away the gel and check your new shade. You'll see dramatic results immediately. We apply a fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel.
