Is whitening right for you?

Whitening works on natural teeth that have yellowed with age or from tea, coffee, cigarettes or food. Before whitening, the dentist checks for decay, worn fillings and gum problems, which should be treated first, and a cleaning is often recommended so the gel reaches a clean tooth surface.

Whitening does not change the colour of crowns, veneers, fillings or dentures. If you have these on front teeth, they may look darker than your newly whitened teeth and might need replacing to match. Grey or deep stains from some medicines or fluorosis may respond less well; veneers can be an option for these.

How much does teeth whitening cost in Dubai?

At Healthpoint, in-clinic teeth whitening together with a cleaning is AED 349. The dentist confirms it suits you at your free consultation, along with any cleaning or treatment that should be done first.

Your whitening, step by step

1. Free consultationThe dentist checks your teeth and gums, notes your starting shade and explains what result is realistic.
2. Protecting your gumsA protective barrier is placed over your gums and lips.
3. Whitening gelA professional gel is applied to the front of your teeth, usually in several short rounds.
4. Result and aftercareThe new shade is compared with your starting shade and you get aftercare advice.

How long does whitening last?

Results vary from person to person. Teeth gradually pick up new stains, so the effect fades over time, faster with regular tea, coffee or smoking. Many people choose a top-up treatment every year or two. The dentist will tell you what to expect for your teeth.

Risks and side effects

• Tooth sensitivity during and for a day or two after whitening is common.
• The gums can be irritated if the gel touches them, which settles within days.
• Results vary, and some teeth whiten less than others.
• Crowns, veneers and fillings do not whiten and may no longer match.

Your dentist explains the risks for your own teeth before you decide.
