Teeth Whitening in Sector 51, Gurgaon
Before you book teeth whitening in Sector 51, Gurgaon, it is worth knowing what whitening can do, because it does not suit every kind of discolouration. Stains from tea, coffee, tobacco and age usually respond well. Some other kinds of colour do not, and for those a different treatment would serve you better. At Artistree Dental and Cosmetic Clinic your teeth are examined first, so you know what result to expect before any gel goes on.

What responds, and what does not
- Usually responds: yellowing from food, drink and smoking, and the gradual darkening that comes with age.
- Responds less predictably: grey or banded colour from within the tooth, and the marks left by fluorosis.
- Does not change: crowns, veneers and fillings. These stay their original shade while the natural teeth around them lighten, so a front filling may need replacing afterwards to match.
A single dark tooth is a separate question. It can point to a nerve problem, so that tooth should be looked at before anyone tries to bleach it.
Why the check comes first
Whitening gel on a cavity, a cracked tooth or inflamed gums can cause real discomfort. Tartar also blocks the gel, so a scaling and polish often comes first. Sometimes that cleaning alone removes more staining than people expected, and you may decide you are happy with the result.
In the clinic
The gums are protected, the whitening gel is applied to the teeth, and laser light is used to activate it. Having a dentist in charge matters here, because the gel is stronger than anything sold over the counter. Dr Shveta Setia Thareja has written and commented on whitening for Hindustan Times and ABP Live, and she will tell you plainly whether your enamel is a good candidate.
Afterwards
Teeth can feel sensitive for a day or two, and this normally passes. Go easy on tea, coffee, red sauces and tobacco in the first couple of days. The result does not last forever, and how long it holds depends a great deal on your habits. Regular cleaning helps keep it.
If whitening is not the answer
When bleaching cannot give you the colour you want, composite or porcelain veneers are the usual next step, and the clinic's smile design work starts from there. You can find out which applies to you at a short examination. Call +91 92053 01454 or send a WhatsApp message to book at Mayfield Garden.

Frequently asked questions
Does whitening damage enamel?
Done under a dentist's supervision on healthy teeth, it is considered safe. Problems usually come from overuse, or from whitening teeth that have untreated decay.
How many shades lighter will my teeth get?
It varies with your starting colour and the type of stain. The dentist will give you a realistic idea after examining your teeth.
Will whitening work on my crown?
No. Crowns, veneers and fillings do not change colour, so these are taken into account when planning.
Should I clean my teeth before whitening?
Yes, if there is tartar or surface staining. Scaling and polishing first gives the gel an even surface to work on.
