In-Office Whitening
In-office whitening takes around an hour. Your gums are protected with a shield, and a hydrogen or carbamide peroxide whitening gel is applied to your teeth. For patients who want faster results, laser whitening can lighten teeth by five to six shades in a single session, making it a popular choice before an important event.
At-Home Whitening
For a more gradual approach, we provide custom-fitted at-home whitening trays with professional-strength gel, typically worn daily for two to three weeks. Newer at-home products can achieve results in as little as one week with around eight hours of wear. Either way, your whitening is planned and monitored by our dental team rather than left to guesswork.
What Teeth Whitening Costs
Professional teeth whitening at Smiline typically costs between Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 18,000, depending on whether you choose in-office or at-home whitening. Your dentist will confirm the exact cost for your treatment plan at your consultation.
Risks and Aftercare
Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity or mild gum irritation after whitening, which usually settles on its own. We recommend avoiding strongly coloured foods and drinks, sometimes called a white diet, for twenty-four to forty-eight hours after treatment, and waiting twenty-four hours before brushing immediately after an in-office session. We would also caution against unsupervised salon or over-the-counter whitening, since these are not carried out by a qualified dentist and the strength and safety of the products used cannot always be verified.
Why Choose Smiline for Teeth Whitening
Whitening carried out at one of our three Hyderabad hospitals is planned and supervised by your dentist throughout, from choosing between in-office and at-home options to checking your teeth are suitable for whitening in the first place. This matters because not every case of discolouration responds equally well to whitening, some staining sits within the tooth rather than on its surface, and a dentist-led assessment helps set realistic expectations before you begin.
Maintaining Your Whitening Results
To help your results last as long as possible, we would suggest limiting strongly coloured foods and drinks such as tea, coffee, and red wine, avoiding tobacco, and keeping up with regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. Many patients also choose an occasional top-up treatment, at home or in the hospital, once their initial results have started to fade, rather than a full course of whitening again.
