Teeth Whitening in ECR Chennai
Years of tea, coffee, tobacco and time dull the enamel. Professional whitening lifts that discolouration in a controlled way, with your gums protected and the strength matched to your teeth — which is the part shop-bought kits and salon touts cannot do. Dr. Priya Dharshini, MDS (Prosthodontics) assesses what is actually causing your discolouration first, because not all of it responds to bleaching.
Not All Discolouration Is the Same
Surface staining from food and drink lifts beautifully. Deeper intrinsic discolouration — from tetracycline, fluorosis or a tooth that has had a root canal — behaves differently and sometimes needs veneers or internal bleaching instead. Whitening a tooth that will not respond wastes your money, so we check before we start.
What We Offer
Every mouth is different. After examining you, Dr. Priya recommends the option that fits your case.
In-Clinic Whitening
A single appointment with professional-strength gel, for the fastest visible change under direct supervision.
Custom Home Trays
Trays made to fit your teeth exactly, with measured gel to use at home over a couple of weeks.
Scaling & Polishing First
Some of what looks like yellowing is hardened deposit. A clean often lifts more than people expect, before any bleaching.
Internal Bleaching
For a single dark tooth that has had root canal treatment, whitening from the inside can even out the shade.
How Long the Result Lasts
Typically one to two years, depending on how much coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco is involved. Whitening does not stop teeth picking up new stains — it resets them. We go through the aftercare that matters most in the first 48 hours, and top-up options when you need them.
