- Consultation: From ₹100

## Who it is for

Whitening can help with teeth that have yellowed or stained from:

- Tea, coffee, cola and red wine
- Turmeric and strongly coloured foods
- Tobacco
- Age, as enamel thins
- Plaque and tartar build-up (cleaning helps first)

**Whitening is not advised**

- During pregnancy
- For children
- On teeth with untreated cavities or gum disease

**Whitening cannot change**

- Crowns and veneers
- Fillings on front teeth
- Tell us first so we can plan a matching result

## What happens, step by step

1. **Check-up.** Dr. Sneha checks for cavities and gum problems and records your current shade.
2. **Cleaning.** A scaling and polish removes surface stains first; sometimes that is enough.
3. **Protecting the gums.** The gums are covered so only the teeth are treated.
4. **Whitening gel.** A professional gel is applied to break down stains inside the enamel.
5. **Final shade.** We compare the new shade with the starting one.

## How long it takes

- 1 visit: for in-clinic whitening
- About 1 hour: in the chair
- 1 to 2 years: typical result with care

How long the result lasts depends mostly on tea, coffee and tobacco habits.

## Is it painful?

Whitening needs no anaesthesia and is not painful. Temporary sensitivity for a day or two is the most common side effect.

## Aftercare

- Avoid tea, coffee and coloured foods for 48 hours.
- Rinse with water after tea or coffee, and drink cola through a straw.
- Brush twice daily and have your teeth cleaned every six months.
- Stop tobacco to keep the result longer.

Call the clinic if sensitivity lasts more than a few days.

## Cost

The price is confirmed at your consultation after Dr. Sneha checks your teeth.

Consultation from ₹100.

## Questions about whitening

**Is professional whitening safe?**

Yes, when a dentist checks your teeth first and controls the strength of the gel.

**How long do results last?**

Typically one to two years, longer if you limit tea, coffee and tobacco.

**Will my teeth be sensitive?**

Some people feel sensitivity for a day or two. It settles on its own.

**Are home remedies like lemon or charcoal safe?**

No. They are acidic or abrasive and wear away enamel, which can make teeth look more yellow over time.

**Will whitening change my crowns or fillings?**

No. Crowns, veneers and fillings keep their colour, so tell us about them before whitening.
