Teeth Whitening

Professional Teeth Whitening at Indira Dental Clinic

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures because it can significantly improve your appearance with minimal effort and cost. Over time, teeth can become stained from food, drinks, smoking, and natural aging. Our professional teeth whitening treatments can lighten your teeth by several shades, giving you a brighter, more confident smile.

At Indira Dental Clinic, we offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening options to suit your preferences and lifestyle. Our treatments are safe, effective, and performed under the supervision of experienced dental professionals.

Types of Teeth Whitening

We offer two main types of teeth whitening treatments at Indira Dental Clinic:

In-Office Whitening

Our in-office whitening treatment delivers immediate results in just one visit. The procedure typically takes about 60-90 minutes and can lighten your teeth by up to 8 shades. We use high-concentration whitening gel activated by a special light to break down stains and discoloration.

The treatment begins with a thorough cleaning to remove any plaque or debris. We then apply a protective barrier to your gums before applying the whitening gel to your teeth. The gel is activated with a specialized light, and this process may be repeated several times during your session.

Take-Home Whitening Kits

Our custom take-home whitening kits allow you to whiten your teeth at your convenience. We create custom-fitted trays based on impressions of your teeth to ensure the whitening gel is applied evenly and effectively.

The kits come with professional-grade whitening gel and detailed instructions. Most patients see noticeable results within 1-2 weeks of daily use. Take-home kits typically produce more gradual results than in-office treatments but can be just as effective over time.
