Why Do Teeth Become Discolored?
Understanding why teeth stain helps you maintain your whitening results. Tooth discoloration occurs due to:
Extrinsic Stains (Surface Stains)
- Food and drinks: Coffee, tea, red wine, cola, berries
- Tobacco: Smoking and chewing tobacco
- Poor oral hygiene: Inadequate brushing allows stains to accumulate
- Certain spices: Turmeric, curry, and other colored spices
Intrinsic Stains (Deep Stains)
- Aging: Enamel thins over time, revealing darker dentin
- Medications: Tetracycline antibiotics, antihistamines
- Fluorosis: Excessive fluoride during tooth development
- Trauma: Injury to teeth can cause internal discoloration
- Genetics: Some people naturally have darker teeth
Professional whitening at D-Smile Dental effectively treats extrinsic stains and can significantly improve many intrinsic stains as well.
Professional vs. Over-the-Counter Whitening
While drugstore whitening products are readily available in Kathmandu, professional whitening offers significant advantages:
- Stronger formulas: Professional-grade whitening agents are more concentrated and effective
- Faster results: Achieve dramatic results in one visit vs. weeks with home products
- Customized treatment: Tailored to your specific staining and sensitivity levels
- Even results: Professional application ensures uniform whitening
- Safer: Supervised treatment protects gums and prevents damage
- Longer-lasting: Professional results typically last longer
- Dental checkup included: We ensure your teeth are healthy before whitening
💡 Important Note
Teeth whitening works on natural teeth only. Crowns, veneers, and fillings won't change color with whitening. If you have visible restorations, we'll discuss options to ensure a uniform smile.
Our Teeth Whitening Procedure
At D-Smile Dental in Gyaneshwor, our professional whitening process includes:
Step 1: Consultation & Examination
We examine your teeth to ensure they're healthy and suitable for whitening. We discuss your goals and determine the best approach for your specific staining.
Step 2: Shade Assessment
Using a shade guide, we document your current tooth color to track your improvement after treatment.
Step 3: Teeth Cleaning
We perform a thorough cleaning to remove surface stains and plaque, ensuring the whitening gel contacts your teeth directly.
Step 4: Gum Protection
A protective barrier is applied to your gums to shield them from the whitening agent.
Step 5: Whitening Gel Application
Professional-strength whitening gel is carefully applied to your teeth. The gel contains hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide that penetrates enamel to break down stains.
Step 6: Activation (If Applicable)
Depending on the system used, a special light may be used to activate and accelerate the whitening process.
Step 7: Multiple Applications
The gel is typically applied in 2-3 sessions of 15-20 minutes each during your appointment for optimal results.
Step 8: Final Assessment
We compare your new shade to the original, and you'll see the dramatic difference immediately!
