TEETH WHITENING IN CHEMBUR WEST
If you would like a brighter smile, the first step is to understand why your teeth look darker and whether whitening is suitable for you. Dr. Snehal Patel can talk through the options after examining your teeth and gums.
Staining can be related to tea, coffee, tobacco or ageing, but a single dark tooth or a change in colour can have a different cause. Decay, gum concerns and existing sensitivity should be discussed before cosmetic treatment.
Whitening acts on natural teeth. It does not lighten crowns, fillings, veneers, dentures or implants. If restorations show when you smile, ask how their colour may look alongside whitened teeth.
Dentist-guided treatment may use fitted trays and gel at home or a supervised clinic approach. The time involved, expected shade change and maintenance differ. Your dentist can explain which approach, if any, is appropriate for you.
Results vary and whitening is not permanent. A consultation is a chance to discuss the result you hope for, likely limitations and what other care might be needed to achieve a balanced smile.
Temporary sensitivity to cold or sweet foods and gum irritation can occur. Tell your dentist if your teeth are already sensitive or you have reacted to a whitening product before. Follow the recommended amount and schedule rather than using more gel to try to speed up the result.
Keep up regular brushing, cleaning between teeth and dental checkups after treatment. Discuss any side effect that persists or concerns you.
No. Whitening lightens natural teeth but not existing restorations. Discuss visible fillings or crowns before deciding on a shade goal.
That depends on the cause and severity of the sensitivity. Your dentist should assess it first and explain whether whitening is suitable or should wait.
