Teeth Whitening in Singapore
A Dentist-Guided Approach to Brightening Your Smile
Teeth naturally change colour over time. Coffee, tea, wine, smoking, and everyday habits can gradually stain the enamel, leaving teeth looking darker or less vibrant.
Professional teeth whitening may be considered as one way to improve the brightness of teeth, depending on the condition of the enamel and the type of staining present.
At Artisan Dental Singapore, whitening is planned together with your dentist so that the approach is appropriate for your teeth and overall oral health.
Treatment suitability and expected outcomes vary depending on individual tooth condition*

How Professional Teeth Whitening Works
Professional whitening uses a whitening gel designed to break down certain stains within the enamel.
These stains may develop over time due to food, drinks, smoking, or natural ageing of the teeth.
Before whitening is considered, your dentist will examine your teeth and gums to determine whether whitening may be appropriate.
Conditions such as untreated decay or gum inflammation may need to be addressed first.
Types of Teeth Stains
Not all tooth stains develop in the same way. Understanding the type of staining helps determine whether whitening may be suitable.
Extrinsic Stains
Extrinsic stains occur on the outer surface of the enamel and are commonly associated with coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and certain foods.
These types of stains may sometimes be addressed with professional whitening, depending on the condition of the teeth.
Intrinsic Stains
Intrinsic stains develop within the inner structure of the tooth.
They may occur due to ageing, certain medications, trauma, or developmental factors.
In some situations your dentist may discuss other aesthetic options such as dental veneers.
Age-Related Staining
Over time enamel becomes thinner, allowing the underlying dentine to become more visible.
This can cause teeth to appear darker or more yellow.
Professional whitening may be considered depending on the type of staining and the condition of the teeth.
Teeth Whitening Option in Singapore
In-Clinic Whitening (Philips Zoom)
Patients who prefer whitening carried out in the dental clinic, we offer the Philips Zoom whitening system.
The whitening gel is applied while protective measures are placed to shield the gums and surrounding tissues.
The whitening process is carried out in controlled cycles under the supervision of your dentist.
Many patients choose this option when they prefer a whitening session completed during a single clinic visit.
