Professional Teeth Whitening and Bleaching in Dubai

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental procedure that aims to lighten your teeth by removing stains and discoloration. It improves the overall appearance of your teeth and gives a brighter, whiter, and fresh look. 

Remember that dental whitening treatment should be done under a professional dentist’s supervision to avoid harming your teeth and gums. 

Causes of Tooth Discoloration (Extrinsic & Intrinsic)

Tooth discoloration can occur for various reasons, classified as extrinsic and intrinsic causes. Here are the details: 

Extrinsic Causes

These causes lead to staining on the anterior surface of your teeth due to external factors. Using colored food and beverages, including: 

• Coffee 
• Tea 
• Red wine 
• Spicy foods (Curries and sauces)  
• Frequent Smoking 
• Using tobacco products 
• Inadequate brushing and flossing 
• Poor oral hygiene

Intrinsic causes

These discoloration causes occur from within the tooth, including: 

• Aging (Dental structure yellowing over time)
• Medications, e.g., tetracycline
• Dental fluorosis (excessive fluoride exposure)
• Trauma/Injury to the tooth

In-Office Professional Teeth Whitening

Our experienced dentists perform this bleaching method in a controlled clinical environment. The popular techniques include: 

• Zoom Teeth Whitening: For this, we use a Philips zoom kit with a specialized LED light and Philips whitening gel to whiten your teeth in a single visit. 
• Laser Teeth Whitening: A high-intensity laser activates the bleaching gel, which helps it penetrate deep into the tooth enamel and break down the hardened stains. 
• LED Teeth Whitening: Almost similar to the laser process, but in this case, it uses the LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights to activate the gel.

Procedure Guide and Expectations

You must pass through the following steps during the in-office teeth bleaching process:

1. Our dentists will apply a protective barrier layer over your gums to prevent irritation. 
2. A teeth-bleaching gel (which contains hydrogen peroxide) is then applied to your teeth.
3. Depending on the technique, a Zoom light, an LED light, or a laser will activate the gel. 
4. This procedure may be repeated several times to get the optimal results. 

At-Home Teeth Whitening Kits

A Home teeth whitening kit is a great and more relaxing dental procedure for individuals who want to sparkle their teeth at home. Our customized kits include: 

• Over-the-Counter Products: These contain a lower concentration of lightening agents like hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide and are less effective than professional ones. 
• Dentist Prescribed Kits: Our dentist prescribed these kits containing higher-quality brightening agents and custom-made trays for a better fit. It’s more effective than over-the-counter products but has slow results.

Procedure Guide and What to Expect

A dental checkup is necessary to confirm your eligibility for the procedure. Moreover, for optimal results, you must clean your teeth at least 3 to 4 times before the procedure. The rest includes: 

1. Our dentists will take impressions of your teeth using the intraoral digital scanners. 
2. We will provide you with a high-quality gel and tray for better results. 
3. Wear your trays along with gel twice a day or at night, and you will see the results.
