Professional Teeth Whitening in Abuja

What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?

Professional teeth whitening uses dental bleaching agents to lighten the colour of natural teeth. Depending on the method used, treatment may be carried out in the dental clinic or prescribed for use at home under professional guidance.

The appropriate approach depends on your oral health, the cause of discolouration and your treatment goals.

What Causes Tooth Discolouration?

Tooth colour can change for several reasons, including:

• Staining from tea, coffee and other foods or drinks.
• Tobacco use.
• Natural changes in tooth colour over time.
• Certain medications or developmental conditions.
• Trauma or changes affecting an individual tooth.
• Plaque, tartar and surface deposits.

Not all discolouration responds to whitening. A dental assessment can help identify the cause.

Who May Be Suitable for Teeth Whitening?

Whitening may be appropriate for some adults with healthy teeth and gums who want to reduce certain stains.

Patients with untreated cavities, gum disease, significant sensitivity or other dental problems may need treatment or further assessment before whitening.

Crowns, fillings and veneers do not whiten in the same way as natural tooth enamel, so existing dental restorations may affect the final appearance.

What Should I Expect?

Your dentist may examine your teeth and gums, discuss your expectations and explain the available options. Treatment and the expected outcome depend on the whitening method and the type of staining.

Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation.

How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost?

The existing DentistNearMeNG booking page lists teeth whitening at ₦69,000. Please confirm the current price and the precise treatment included before booking.
