Professional Teeth Whitening

In-office professional teeth whitening using high-concentration bleaching agents for a brighter smile in a single session, available at Orchard Scotts Dental's Orchard Road clinic.

Orchard Scotts Dental offers professional teeth whitening as part of its cosmetic dentistry menu, conducted under clinical supervision to ensure safe and effective results. In-office whitening uses a high-concentration hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide gel applied to the tooth surfaces, typically enhanced with a light or laser activator, to break down extrinsic and intrinsic staining compounds within the enamel and dentine. A single in-office session can achieve multiple shades of improvement in approximately 60–90 minutes, making it the preferred option for patients seeking fast, noticeable results before an important event or as part of a broader smile makeover. For patients who prefer a more gradual approach or who have sensitivity concerns, custom take-home whitening trays with professional-grade gel are also available as an alternative or complement to in-office treatment. Prior to whitening, a clinical examination is performed to assess tooth and gum health and confirm suitability. Patients with active decay, exposed root surfaces, or heavily bonded/crowned front teeth may require treatment prior to whitening. Existing crowns and veneers do not whiten, which is factored into the treatment plan. As Orchard Scotts Dental is a cosmetic-focused specialist clinic, whitening is often planned in conjunction with veneer or smile makeover consultations, ensuring the final shade target is appropriate for the full treatment outcome. Post-whitening care advice, including dietary guidance to minimise staining relapse, is provided at the end of each session.
