Teeth whitening

Yes, when performed by a professional, teeth whitening is safe. Our dentists use high-quality products and ensure that your gums and teeth are protected.

The results can last from several months to a few years, depending on your eating habits and oral hygiene. Avoiding foods and drinks that stain the teeth, such as coffee and red wine, can help prolong the effects.

Most people can benefit from teeth whitening, but it is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children under 16, and people with allergies to whitening products.

Side effects may include temporary tooth sensitivity and gum irritation, but these symptoms usually disappear shortly after treatment.

An in-office teeth whitening session usually lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. At-home treatments can take longer per session but offer flexibility in timing.

It is recommended to avoid foods and drinks that can stain the teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and colored foods, for at least 48 hours after the treatment.

No, teeth whitening does not affect dental materials like crowns, veneers, or fillings. It only works on natural tooth enamel.

Scaling is a professional dental cleaning that removes tartar and plaque buildup on the teeth and under the gums. This helps prevent gum disease and cavities.

Scaling can be slightly uncomfortable, especially if a lot of tartar has accumulated. However, our dentists use techniques and tools to minimize any pain.

It is recommended to have scaling done every six months. However, depending on your oral health condition, your dentist may recommend more frequent cleanings.

No, scaling does not damage the teeth. On the contrary, it helps prevent gum disease and cavities by removing plaque and tartar buildup.

After scaling, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and avoiding foods and drinks that stain the teeth.

Signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums during brushing, persistent bad breath, and visible tartar buildup on your teeth.

Scaling is the process of removing plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth and below the gumline. Polishing smooths the tooth surface after scaling to remove superficial stains and make teeth shine.

Yes, scaling can help reduce bad breath by removing plaque and tartar that harbor bacteria responsible for halitosis.

Fissure sealing is a preventive procedure where a sealant material is applied to the grooves of the back teeth (molars and premolars) to protect them from cavities.

Children and teenagers are the primary beneficiaries of dental sealants, as they are more likely to develop cavities in the grooves of their teeth. However, adults without cavities or fillings in their molars can also benefit.

Sealants can last several years, but they need to be checked regularly by your dentist to ensure they remain intact.

The process is quick and painless. The dentist first cleans the tooth surface, applies a gel to prepare the surface, rinses and dries the tooth, then applies the sealant material and hardens it with a special light.
