Professional Teeth Whitening at Curve Orthodontics

Professional teeth whitening, also called dental bleaching, is the most effective way to brighten stained or discolored teeth. While home whitening kits are widely available, professional treatment delivers faster, more dramatic, and longer-lasting results under controlled conditions that protect your teeth and gums.

At Curve Orthodontics in Bangalore, we offer professional teeth whitening treatments customized to your needs and goals. Whether you want to remove years of coffee and tea stains or simply brighten your smile for a special occasion, professional whitening can help you achieve the results you desire.

Our whitening treatments use professional-strength bleaching agents that penetrate tooth enamel to break down deep stains, something that surface-level whitening toothpastes and strips simply cannot accomplish.

How Professional Teeth Whitening Works

Professional teeth whitening uses bleaching agents—typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide—that penetrate tooth enamel to break down stain compounds. The oxygen molecules in the bleaching agent react with the discolored molecules in your teeth, breaking the bonds that hold them together and eliminating stains.

In-Office Whitening The most dramatic and fastest option. We apply a professional-strength whitening gel to your teeth after protecting your gums. The treatment takes about 60-90 minutes and can lighten teeth by several shades in one visit.

Take-Home Whitening Kits We create custom-fitted whitening trays for your teeth and provide professional-grade whitening gel. You wear the trays at home for a prescribed time each day over 1-2 weeks. This option offers more gradual results with excellent whitening power.

What Causes Tooth Discoloration?

Teeth become discolored for various reasons:

• Food and Drinks: Coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored foods stain teeth over time
• Tobacco: Smoking and chewing tobacco cause significant yellowing and staining
• Age: Enamel thins over time, revealing the yellower dentin beneath
• Medications: Certain antibiotics and medications can cause discoloration
• Genetics: Some people naturally have darker or more yellow tooth enamel
• Trauma: Injury to teeth can cause darkening

Professional whitening is most effective for extrinsic stains (surface stains from food, drinks, and tobacco). Intrinsic stains (from within the tooth) may require alternative cosmetic solutions.

What to Expect

Before Whitening We recommend a professional cleaning before whitening to remove surface stains and ensure the whitening gel can penetrate evenly. We'll also examine your teeth to ensure you're a good candidate.

During In-Office Treatment We protect your gums with a barrier, then apply the whitening gel to your teeth. The treatment takes about 60-90 minutes. You may feel some sensitivity during or after treatment, which is temporary.

Maintaining Your Results

• Avoid dark-colored foods and drinks for 48 hours after treatment
• Use a straw for beverages that might stain
• Maintain good oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing
• Consider touch-up treatments periodically
