At our clinic in NIBM, we offer a comprehensive range of teeth whitening solutions suitable for various needs and budgets:

1. In-Office Teeth Whitening

Our in-office whitening procedure is one of the most popular options for patients seeking immediate results. This treatment involves applying a powerful hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide gel to the teeth, which is then activated using a special LED light. The entire process takes about 60 to 90 minutes and can whiten teeth by several shades in just one session.

Benefits:

• Immediate results
• Professionally monitored for safety.
• Ideal before special events (weddings, photoshoots, etc.)

2. Take-Home Whitening Kits

For patients who prefer to whiten their teeth in the comfort of their own homes, we offer customized take-home kits. These kits come with custom-made trays and high-quality whitening gel, providing uniform coverage and optimal whitening results.

Benefits:

• Convenience of home use
• Gradual and controlled whitening process
• Cost-effective

3. Combination Treatments

Some patients may benefit from a combination of in-office and at-home whitening. We begin with an in-clinic session to jump-start the process and follow up with a take-home kit to maintain the results over time.

Benefits:

• Best of both worlds: instant results + prolonged maintenance
• Excellent for individuals with stubborn stains

What to Expect During Your Whitening Appointment

Here’s what you can expect when you come in for a teeth whitening session at our NIBM clinic:

Step 1: Consultation and Oral Examination

We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your goals and assess your oral health. Our dentists will assess your teeth and gums, check for any existing dental restorations, and determine the type and severity of staining.

Step 2: Shade Assessment

Before beginning the whitening process, we determine your current tooth shade using a standardized shade guide. This helps us measure the improvement after treatment.

Step 3: Protection

Your lips and gums are carefully shielded to ensure the whitening gel only touches your teeth. A cheek retractor is used to keep the mouth open during the procedure.

Step 4: Application of Whitening Gel

The whitening gel is applied to the front surfaces of your teeth. Depending on the product used, it may be left on for 15 to 30 minutes and reapplied during the session.

Step 5: Activation (for Light-Accelerated Whitening)

If your treatment includes light activation, we use a specialized lamp to enhance the gel’s performance and accelerate the whitening process.

Step 6: Final Assessment

After the gel is removed and your mouth is thoroughly rinsed, we evaluate the final tooth shade and compare it to your initial color. Most patients see a visible enhancement of 2 to 8 shades.

Post-Whitening Care Tips

To maintain the results of your teeth whitening treatment, it’s important to follow proper aftercare instructions:

• Avoid Staining Foods and Beverages: For at least 48 hours after treatment, avoid coffee, tea, wine, berries, and colored sauces.
• Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush twice a day, floss regularly, and rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash.
• Use a Straw: When consuming colored drinks, use a straw to minimize contact with your teeth.
• Touch-Up Treatments: Depending on your habits and lifestyle, periodic touch-up treatments may be needed every 6–12 months.
• Avoid Smoking: Smoking not only stains your teeth but also reverses the effects of whitening treatments.
