Teeth Whitening

Professional in-office and take-home teeth whitening using 30% hydrogen peroxide with LED light activation. Results lasting 1–3 years depending on lifestyle habits.

The Dentist @ Orchard offers both in-office and take-home professional teeth whitening for patients looking to address age-related discolouration, tobacco staining, or the dulling effect of coffee, tea, and red wine. In-office bleaching uses a 30% hydrogen peroxide gel activated by an LED blue-wavelength light, delivering faster and more controlled results than over-the-counter products. The in-chair session is performed by Dr Kevin Ong or trained clinical staff, with protective measures applied to the gums before gel application. For patients who prefer whitening at their own pace, custom-fitted take-home trays are fabricated from impressions taken at the clinic; patients use a lower-concentration whitening gel over an extended period to achieve their desired shade. The clinic recommends professional whitening for individuals who retain good enamel thickness and do not have severe intrinsic staining — candidates with heavily stained or thin enamel may be better served by veneers or other restorative options. Post-whitening advice includes avoiding staining foods and beverages in the first 24 hours and maintaining regular professional cleaning appointments to prolong results. With proper care, whitening effects typically last 1–3 years; touch-up kits are available for maintenance between full treatments. The clinic's central Orchard Road location makes it convenient for working professionals seeking a quick cosmetic upgrade.
