Professional Teeth Whitening

Dentist-supervised professional teeth whitening using custom-fitted bleaching trays and prescription-strength whitening gel. Safely monitored by a dental specialist at Tooth Art's Orchard Road clinic.

Tooth Art Dental Centre offers professional teeth whitening as a supervised, prescription-grade alternative to over-the-counter whitening products. The treatment uses custom-fabricated bleaching trays fitted precisely to the patient's dental arch, combined with whitening gel at concentrations that are only legally dispensed under dental supervision in Singapore. Unlike generic strip or tray products available at pharmacies, the custom tray ensures even gel distribution and minimises gingival irritation caused by gel overflow. Treatment progress is monitored by the dental specialist, and the gel concentration is calibrated to the patient's tooth sensitivity and target shade. Whitening is typically performed as a take-home protocol, with patients wearing the trays for a prescribed duration each day over several weeks. The treating prosthodontist (Dr Teo Juin Wei) oversees whitening cases, particularly where patients are also considering veneers or other restorative work — since natural tooth shade is an important baseline when planning aesthetic dentistry. Teeth whitening at Tooth Art is most effective for extrinsic staining (tea, coffee, wine, nicotine) and generally produces 4–8 shade improvement over the treatment course. Patients with intrinsic discolouration (such as tetracycline staining or fluorosis) are counselled on realistic outcomes and may be directed toward veneers for predictable colour correction.
