Over time, teeth naturally pick up stains from the food and drinks we consume, as well as from aging and other lifestyle factors. Teeth whitening is one way to refresh your smile, brightening the shade of your teeth safely and effectively.
At Klinik Pergigian Polidental, we offer professional teeth whitening treatments that are supervised by our dentists, giving you results that are both safe and noticeably better than over-the-counter alternatives.
Whitening products are widely available over the counter, from strips and gels to whitening toothpastes. While these products are convenient, they typically contain lower concentrations of whitening agents and produce more modest results.
Professional teeth whitening uses clinically approved whitening agents at concentrations that are only available through a dental practice. This means more predictable, more noticeable results, delivered safely, with proper assessment of your teeth and gums beforehand to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you.
Your teeth have yellowed over time but free from active decay or gum disease
You have staining from food, drinks, or tobacco that you would like reduced
You are looking to refresh your smile ahead of a special occasion
You have recently completed braces and want to enhance your results
Teeth whitening is not suitable for everyone. It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding patients, children under 18, or patients with severely sensitive teeth. It also does not whiten dental restorations such as crowns, veneers, or tooth-coloured fillings. This is worth considering if you have visible restorations on your front teeth, as they will not change shade with the treatment.
Results vary from person to person and depend on the original shade of your teeth, the cause of the discolouration, and the type of whitening treatment chosen. Most patients can expect a noticeable improvement of several shades. Teeth with heavy extrinsic staining from coffee or tea tend to respond particularly well.
It is important to have realistic expectations. Whitening will not produce a uniform brilliant white for every patient, the final shade is influenced by your natural tooth colour and the degree of discolouration present. We will give you an honest assessment of what is achievable for your teeth during your consultation.

This varies depending on the original shade of your teeth and the nature of the staining. Most patients achieve a noticeable improvement of several shades.
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity during or after the whitening treatment. This typically settles within a few days. If you already have sensitive teeth, let us know before treatment.
Whitening agents only work on natural tooth enamel and will not change the shade of existing restorations such as fillings, crowns, or veneers. If you have visible restorations on your front teeth, there is a possibility that after whitening your natural teeth may appear brighter than the restorations.
An in-chair whitening appointment typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes. This includes preparation time, application of the whitening gel, and a final assessment of the result before you leave. You will be able to see a noticeable difference immediately after the appointment.
This depends on the method used and your teeth’s response to treatment. Overuse of whitening products can cause enamel damage and prolonged sensitivity. As a general guideline, most patients benefit from a professional whitening session once every six to twelve months, with occasional top-ups in between using a take-home tray. We will advise you on a suitable maintenance schedule based on your individual needs.
Professional teeth whitening is generally not recommended for patients under 18, as the teeth and pulp are still developing. If a younger patient is concerned about tooth discolouration, we will assess the cause and recommend the most appropriate course of action.
Teeth whitening is not permanent. Results typically last between six months and two years, depending on your diet, lifestyle habits, and how well you maintain your teeth. Patients who regularly consume staining foods and drinks or smoke will find that results fade more quickly.
For the first 24 to 48 hours after whitening, it is best to avoid deeply pigmented foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and sauces. This is when the teeth are most susceptible to restaining. Sticking to lighter-coloured foods during this period helps preserve the initial result.
A brighter smile is one of the simplest ways to feel more confident. Whether you are preparing for a special occasion or simply want to freshen up your appearance, our professional teeth whitening treatments are safe, effective, and tailored to your teeth.
