Tooth Whitening

Whitening involves the use of bleaching agents that enter the tooth to break up and remove deep stains that can’t be eliminated through regular cleaning.

How might whitening help you?

Most of us are unlikely to have naturally pearly white teeth. Discoloration can result from smoking, poor oral hygiene routines and even regular consumption of food and drinks like red wine, coffee and curry. Teeth whitening helps to remove staining and discoloration to vastly improve the shade of your teeth. While routine scaling and polishing is effective for removing tartar and surface stains, whitening is a process that will lighten the internal shade of your tooth, giving your smile that extra shine.

Take-home whitening gives you the benefits of whitening treatment from the comfort of your home. A custom-made tray will be fabricated and issued to you together with a set of premium whitening gels. You will have to wear the tray with the gel for one to two hours a day, over the course of around two weeks to achieve that bright, sparkling smile. Whitening gel refills can also be ordered through our dentists at Meso Dental.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is whitening painful?

    Not at all! Once all other oral health issues have been resolved, whitening treatment should not be completely painless.

  • What are the side effects of whitening?
