Cosmetic Dentistry

Extrinsic stains (surface stains)

• Caused by coffee, tea, red wine
• Tobacco / paan stains
• Food colouring, spices
• Everyday plaque and tartar discoloration

• Instant, visible results in a single sitting
• Safe and controlled treatment performed by a dentist
• Lower sensitivity compared to salon or home-kit
• Customised strength based on your enamel and sensitivity level

• Shade Assessment — We record your current tooth shade.
• Gum Protection — Your gums are carefully isolated.
• Whitening Gel Application — A professional-grade gel is applied.
• Laser Activation (if chosen) — The laser accelerates the whitening effect.
• Rinse & Final Shade Check — You leave with a noticeably brighter smile.

Most adults can safely undergo whitening. If you have cavities, gum issues, or heavy sensitivity, we'll address those first to ensure safe results.

The average laser teeth whitening treatment takes about an hour.

Most people only need to have the treatment done once, but if you have heavily stained teeth, you may need more frequent treatments.

No, it works best on surface stains. If you have deep stains, you may need veneers.

Whitening results typically last 6-12 months and can last up to 3 years, depending on your food habits, oral hygiene, and lifestyle. Touch-ups can help maintain brightness longer.

No. Clinical studies show that professional whitening does not harm enamel. Sensitivity may occur temporarily, but your enamel remains intact.

Some people experience mild, temporary sensitivity for 24-48 hours. It usually settles on its own. We use professional teeth-whitening gels that include desensitizing ingredients, so the treatment is gentler on your teeth while still giving you a brighter result.

Most patients see an improvement of 2-8 shades, depending on their natural tooth colour and type of stains.

Most adults can, but whitening may not be suitable if you have:

• Severe gum disease
• Decayed teeth
• Active sensitivity
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding (avoid elective procedures)

A quick consultation helps determine suitable treatment options.

Yes. Professional whitening done under dental supervision is safe. We protect your gums, control the concentration of whitening gel, and monitor sensitivity throughout the procedure.

No. Artificial materials do not whiten. Only natural teeth respond to whitening. Sometimes restorations may need replacement for a uniform colour.

For 48 hours, preferably a week: tea, coffee, wine, coloured foods, tobacco, and acidic drinks. This helps prevent fresh stains.

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells placed on the front surface of your teeth to improve their colour, shape, and overall appearance.

They help with:

• Discoloured teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Worn or chipped edges
• Slight misalignment
• Uneven or small teeth
• Old, stained fillings on front teeth

Yes, veneers are a long-term solution. Once a tooth is prepared for a veneer, it will always need a veneer or similar restoration in the future.

Veneers are ideal for improving:

• Discolouration or stains
• Gaps between teeth
• Chipped or worn edges
• Slightly crooked or uneven teeth
• Small or misshapen teeth
• Old or patchy fillings in the front teeth

They're a popular choice for patients seeking a refined, polished smile makeover.

• Natural-looking results: Modern veneers mimic the translucency and texture of real enamel.
• Minimal preparation: Only a thin layer of enamel is reshaped to fit the veneer naturally.
• Long-lasting: With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or more.
• Immediate transformation: You see a dramatic cosmetic improvement in just 2-3 visits.

• Smile Design Consultation — We understand your goals and digitally plan your ideal smile.
• Tooth Preparation — A thin layer is gently shaped to create space for the veneers.
• Trial Smile / Temporaries — You get to preview your new smile before the final stage.
• Final Veneer Bonding — The custom veneers are bonded securely for a natural, stable finish.

Veneers work best for patients with healthy gums and stable oral health who want to enhance the aesthetics of their smile. If you grind your teeth or have bite issues, we may suggest supportive treatments before veneers.

With good care, veneers typically last 10-20 years or even longer.

Absolutely. Modern veneers are designed to mimic the natural translucency, shade, and texture of real teeth-so they blend seamlessly with your smile.

Veneers require minimal preparation. Only a very thin layer of enamel is gently reshaped to ensure the veneer fits naturally. The underlying tooth stays intact when done conservatively.

No. The process is comfortable and usually done under local anaesthesia. Most patients experience little to no discomfort.

Usually two visits; sometimes extra visits are needed.

Porcelain veneers resist staining much better than natural teeth. Composite veneers may stain over time but can be polished.

Yes. Veneers are strong, but avoid habits like opening packets with teeth, chewing ice, or biting very hard objects.

No. Because a small amount of enamel is removed, veneers are a commitment. However, when done well, most patients love their long-term results.

No special routine-just good oral hygiene:

• Brushing twice a day
• Flossing daily
• Avoiding hard biting habits

• Porcelain: More durable, natural-looking, long-lasting
• Composite: Quicker, cost-effective, but less durable and more prone to staining

• Brown or black gum patches
• Hyperpigmentation from genetics
• Pigmentation caused by smoking
• Uneven gum colour

• Minimally invasive with no cuts or stitches
• Faster healing-usually within 3-7 days
• Less bleeding and discomfort than surgical methods
• Precise and safe with controlled laser technology
• Natural-looking, even gum colour after healing

• Assessment & Shade Analysis — We examine the gums and plan the treated areas.
• Anaesthesia — Topical or local numbing for comfort.
• Laser Depigmentation — The laser removes the superficial pigmented layer.
• Healing Phase — The gums heal lighter and more pink over the next few days.

It's a procedure that lightens dark or patchy gums using a gentle dental laser. The laser removes the top pigmented layer so the gums heal with a lighter, healthier-looking shade.

Dark gums can be due to genetics, melanin concentration, smoking, hormonal changes, or long-term irritation. It's usually harmless but can affect a person's smile confidence.

Most patients find it very comfortable. We use local anaesthesia or topical anaesthetic.

Usually 30-45 minutes, depending on how much area needs depigmentation.

Yes. Lasers cause less bleeding, less post-op discomfort, faster healing, and more even colour results compared to surgical scraping methods.

Results usually last several years. In many patients, the pigmentation does not return. If it does, it tends to be lighter than before.

Yes. Laser-treated gums heal much faster-usually within 24-72 hrs. Mild pinkness is normal initially.

Pigment can return in some cases due to genetics, smoking, or other triggers.

Absolutely. The aim is to achieve even, healthy-looking pink gums that complement your teeth and smile line.

Yes. Dental lasers are safe and precise.

You'll need to avoid spicy, very hot foods, and hard/chewy foods for 24-48 hours. After that, you can eat normally.

You'll notice lighter gums right away, but the final colour appears after complete healing in a few days.
