Professional Teeth Whitening
At Reach Dental Clinic, we offer safe and effective tooth whitening procedures designed to remove stains and restore the natural brightness of your teeth.
Why Teeth Stain?
Teeth can discolor over time due to several factors, including:
- Red wine, coffee, and tea
- Smoking and tobacco use
- Aging and thinning tooth enamel
- Certain foods containing malic acid (e.g., apples, grapes, peaches)
- Poor oral hygiene habits
Professional Teeth Whitening Methods
We use clinically proven bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide to safely whiten teeth. Unlike over-the-counter products or DIY methods like oil pulling or baking soda, our professional-grade bleaching gel penetrates enamel to remove stains effectively.
In-Office Whitening
- Fast results in just one visit
- Stronger concentration of hydrogen peroxide for noticeable whitening
- Supervised by our dentists to reduce risks like gum irritation or sensitivity
At-Home Whitening Trays
- Custom-fitted trays filled with carbamide peroxide whitening gel
- Safe and gradual whitening over 1–2 weeks
- More effective than whitening toothpastes or store-bought kits

According to the American Dental Association (ADA), professional teeth whitening procedures are safe when performed under dental supervision. Our team ensures your treatment protects your tooth enamel and minimizes side effects.

- Customized to Your Needs: We tailor each whitening plan — from fast in-office sessions to gentle at-home trays — ensuring safe, long-lasting results.
Guidelines for Optimal Results
To keep your teeth looking bright for longer after a whitening procedure, follow these expert recommendations:
- Avoid Stain-Causing Foods & Drinks: Limit coffee, tea, red wine, and dark sauces, especially in the first 48 hours.
- Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and consider whitening toothpastes for maintenance.
- Rinse After Acidic Foods: Foods rich in malic acid (like apples, grapes, and tomatoes) are healthy but acidic. Rinse with water afterward to protect enamel.
- Stop Smoking: Tobacco re-stains teeth and reduces whitening results.
- Use a Straw: When drinking stain-causing beverages, use a straw to minimize contact with teeth.
- Protect Against Sensitivity: If you experience gum irritation or tooth sensitivity, use a desensitizing toothpaste as recommended by your dentist.
- Regular Dental Checkups: Routine cleanings help maintain your whitening results and detect early enamel issues.
- Touch-Up Whitening: Depending on your habits, occasional at-home or in-office touch-ups may be recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Professional whitening uses clinically tested bleaching agents like hydrogen
peroxide or carbamide peroxide. When supervised by a dentist, it is safe for your tooth
enamel and gums.
Results typically last 6 months to 2 years, depending on diet, lifestyle, and oral
hygiene. Avoiding coffee, tea, and red wine helps maintain brightness longer.
Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity or mild gum irritation after
whitening. These effects usually resolve within a few days and can be minimized with
desensitizing toothpaste.
Over-the-counter products and whitening toothpastes may help with surface stains but cannot deeply whiten teeth. Professional whitening uses stronger bleaching gels and delivers faster, longer-lasting results.
Home remedies such as oil pulling or baking soda may remove some surface stains
but are far less effective than professional whitening. Overuse can even damage tooth
enamel.
Avoid stain-causing foods and drinks for at least 24–48 hours after treatment. This
includes coffee, tea, red wine, and foods high in malic acid like grapes and tomatoes.
