Teeth Whitening in Lucknow
Professional whitening for stained and discoloured teeth
Professional teeth whitening uses a dentist-supervised bleaching gel to lighten the natural colour of the teeth and reduce stains from tea, coffee, tobacco and ageing.
How does teeth whitening work?
Whitening gels contain hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which break down the stain molecules inside the tooth enamel. In the clinic, the dentist protects your gums and applies the gel for a set time.
Whitening works on natural teeth only. It does not change the colour of crowns, veneers or fillings. Some deep stains (for example from certain medicines or a tooth that has lost its nerve) respond less, and your dentist may suggest other options.
Surface stains
From tea, coffee, tobacco and some foods. Cleaning and whitening work well.
Deeper stains
From ageing, injury or some medicines. May need more sessions or another option.
Crowns & fillings
Do not whiten. They may need replacing later to match your new shade.
Whitening may suit you if…
- Your teeth look yellow or stained from tea, coffee or tobacco
- Your teeth have darkened with age
- You want a brighter smile before an event
- Your teeth and gums are healthy (this is checked first)
Benefits of Teeth Whitening
- A brighter smile in a short time
- No drilling, and nothing is removed from the tooth surface
- Done under a dentist’s supervision with your gums protected
- Can be combined with other cosmetic treatments
Results differ from person to person. Your dentist will explain what to expect in your case.
Professional Whitening vs Over-the-Counter Products
Store products can help a little; professional whitening is stronger and supervised.
| Feature | Professional whitening | Over-the-counter products |
|---|---|---|
| Supervision | Teeth and gums checked first by a dentist | None |
| Gum protection | Gums covered before the gel is applied | Generic strips or trays may touch the gums |
| Strength | Professional-strength gel | Milder |
| Result | Usually a more noticeable change (varies by person) | Usually a smaller change |
