Clinical Options

What your cleaning includes.

Your appointment is fully customised depending on stains, gum health and sensitivity — combining GBT, ultrasonic scaling and whitening where needed.

Ideal for coffee or tea stains, bleeding gums, bad breath, braces, implants — or a yearly clinical reset before whitening.

Cleaning vs Whitening
01

Guided Biofilm Therapy

Plaque is first highlighted with a disclosing dye so every biofilm pocket is visible, then gently removed with warm-water air-polishing powders. Minimally abrasive on enamel and restorations.

  • Sensitive teeth friendly
  • Safe for implants & orthodontics
Advanced Protocol
02

Ultrasonic Scaling & Polishing

High-frequency ultrasonic tips break down tartar and hard calculus above and below the gumline, followed by polishing to smooth surfaces and lift stains from coffee, tea and smoking.

  • Removes hard tartar build-up
  • Treats bleeding gums & bad breath
30–45 Minutes
03

In-Clinic Whitening

Once teeth are clinically clean, professional-strength whitening gels are activated with a chairside light system to lift internal discolouration by several shades in a single sitting.

  • Addresses yellowing & uniform discolouration
  • Lifts deep lifestyle stains
Same-Day Upgrade
The Results

What you can expect.

Most people feel an immediate difference — brighter teeth, smoother enamel and calmer gums within the first few days.

Brighter, whiter tooth shade Smoother enamel surfaces Fresher breath & cleaner tongue Reduced gum bleeding & inflammation Better long-term stain resistance

How it feels afterward

  • Teeth feel glassy-smooth and less "fuzzy" at the end of the day.
  • Gums look less red and puffy as inflammation settles over 48 hours.
  • Breath stays fresher as bacterial load around gums and tongue drops.
  • Whitening delivers a natural, visible shade upgrade.

Typical session timings

  • Cleaning only: 30–45 minutes depending on tartar build-up.
  • Cleaning + whitening: 60–90 minutes including preparation.
  • Most patients return to normal routine immediately.
  • Zero downtime required for either procedure.

Preparing & maintaining results.

Before your appointment

  • Avoid staining foods for 24 hours if whitening is planned.
  • Inform your dentist about sensitivity, crowns, or veneers.
  • Take regular medications and breakfast as usual.

After cleaning & whitening

  • Follow a "white diet" for 24–48 hours (no coffee, red wine, etc).
  • Use the sensitivity toothpaste your dentist recommends if needed.
  • Brush twice daily with a soft-bristle brush; clean between teeth.
  • Maintain professional cleaning every 6–12 months.
Side by Side

Cleaning vs whitening.

Both procedures are important but serve very different purposes. Understanding the difference helps you plan the right visit.

Aspect Dental Cleaning Teeth Whitening
Purpose Removes plaque, tartar and surface stains for oral hygiene. Lightens the internal tooth colour for a brighter smile.
What it treats Bleeding gums, bad breath, rough deposits and surface stains. Yellowing, uniform discolouration and deep lifestyle stains.
Frequency Every 6–12 months as routine maintenance. Every 12–24 months depending on home care.
Is cleaning required first? — Yes — teeth must be clinically clean before whitening.

If you have not had a professional cleaning in over a year, your dentist will usually schedule cleaning first and plan whitening as a same-day or separate visit.

FAQs

Cleaning & whitening questions.

When whitening is done under dentist supervision using professional-grade gels and controlled exposure time, it does not permanently thin or peel away enamel. Mild temporary tooth dehydration occurs and reverses within 24 hours with saliva and fluoride care.

Some people experience short-term zingers or sensitivity to cold for 24–48 hours, especially with exposed root surfaces or enamel wear. We adjust gel strength, use desensitising agents and recommend a specific toothpaste to keep you comfortable.

With good home care and limited staining habits, in-clinic whitening holds well for 1–2 years with gradual, natural softening of the shade. Regular professional cleaning, a soft-bristle brush and limiting dark beverages all help maintain results longer.

Whitening may be postponed or modified if you have active cavities, untreated gum disease, pregnancy or severe enamel defects. Very dark tetracycline stains or multiple front crowns and fillings may require veneers or bonding instead.
