Teeth whitening in Dunlop, Belghoria

Why a dentist should do it

Over-the-counter kits use much lower concentrations than a clinic, because they are designed to be used without supervision. That is why they often disappoint — and why unsupervised use of stronger gels bought online causes the sensitivity and gum burns you read about.

In the clinic the gel strength is chosen for your teeth, the gums are isolated with a barrier, and the whole procedure is supervised. If you have cavities, inflamed gums or exposed roots, those are treated first. Whitening over an untreated problem is how people end up in pain.

What whitening can and cannot fix

• It lifts staining from tea, coffee, smoking and age.
• It will not lighten crowns, veneers, fillings or bonded edges — they keep their original shade, so they may need replacing afterwards to match.
• It will not correct deep grey internal staining, chips or crowding. Those need veneers, bonding or alignment instead.

Real results from this clinic

The before-and-after photograph on the home page is an actual whitening result from Chatterjee Oral Care, not a stock image. Results vary with the type of staining and the starting shade, which is exactly why we assess before promising anything.

Sensitivity during and shortly after treatment is common and temporary. If your teeth are already sensitive or the gums have receded, we adjust the protocol rather than push through — a slower result you can live with beats a fast one you regret.

Keeping it that way

Whitening is not permanent, and how long it lasts depends mostly on what you eat, drink and smoke. Most people come back for a top-up after a year or two. Between visits, a professional cleaning removes surface stain and keeps the shade from drifting.
