What is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is a clinician-administered procedure using high-grade hydrogen peroxide gel to safely break down tooth stains. Unlike over-the-counter strips, in-clinic whitening at Dr. Jinny's Dental Clinic in Shela delivers faster, safer, and more dramatic results.
What Causes Teeth to Stain?
- Tea, coffee, and red wine — the most common culprits in India
- Tobacco and paan
- Certain medications (tetracycline antibiotics)
- Natural ageing — enamel thins and yellows over time
- Poor oral hygiene and tartar buildup
The Whitening Procedure
Pre-Treatment Check
Dr. Jinny examines teeth and gums to confirm suitability and records starting shade.
Gum Protection
Protective barrier applied to keep the whitening gel only on your teeth.
Gel Application
Professional-grade gel applied for 45–60 minutes. Light activation speeds penetration.
Results
Gel removed and new shade recorded. Most patients achieve 4–8 shades improvement.
Maintaining Your Results
- Avoid staining drinks for 48 hours post-treatment
- Use a whitening toothpaste for maintenance
- Rinse mouth after tea or coffee
- Avoid tobacco — the biggest staining agent
