Introduction
People brush daily, yet stubborn tooth discolouration can still remain. Even with regular brushing or over-the-counter products, some stains do not go away. For these tough stains, professional teeth whitening at SAI MOBIDENT DENTAL CENTER may help. Dr S K Arora and his higly qualified team use safe, dentist-supervised methods. While home remedies may not reach deep stains, professional dental whitening can target them more effectively.
Why Do Teeth Become Discoloured?
Teeth can change color for many reasons. Understanding the cause helps choose the right treatment. Generally, stains fall into two types: extrinsic and intrinsic.
Extrinsic Stains
Intrinsic Discolouration
Why Brushing Alone May Not Remove Stubborn Stains
Sometimes, brushing cannot remove deep or old stains. While brushing helps clean the surface, it may not reach stains inside the tooth. In addition, some over-the-counter whitening products can be harsh. They may wear down enamel if used too often. Therefore, it is important to let a teeth whitening dentist, like Dr S K Arora, check your teeth before trying strong products. This helps avoid damage and ensures the best approach for stained teeth treatment.
What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is a safe process done by a dentist. At SAI MOBIDENT DENTAL CENTER, Dr S K Arora first checks your teeth and gums. He looks for the type and depth of stains. After that, he decides if whitening is suitable for you. It is important to know that whitening does not change the color of crowns, veneers, or fillings. Only natural teeth respond to these treatments.
How Professional Teeth Whitening Works
Professional dental whitening uses special gels that break down stains. In the clinic, a dentist may apply a protective barrier to your gums. Then, a whitening gel is placed on your teeth. Sometimes, a special light is used to help the gel work. For some people, take-home kits from the dentist are an option. These kits use custom trays and safe gels. Both options are stronger and safer than store-bought products. However, results depend on the type of stain and your oral health.
Who May Benefit From Professional Teeth Whitening?
Still, a dentist’s assessment is needed to check if you are a good candidate.
When Whitening May Not Be the Right Option
In these cases, your dentist may suggest other treatments, such as veneers or bonding.
Professional Cleaning vs Teeth Whitening
Although both improve your smile, they work differently. Here is how they compare:
Can Teeth Whitening Cause Sensitivity?
Some people may feel tooth sensitivity after whitening. This is usually mild and goes away in a few days. Sometimes, gums may feel irritated if the gel touches them. However, a dentist can lower these risks by using safe products and protecting your gums. If you have sensitive teeth, let your dentist know before starting treatment.
Why Dentist-Supervised Whitening Matters
Choosing a dentist-supervised treatment is important. First, a dentist checks the type of stain and your oral health. Whitening the wrong type of stain may not work and could harm your teeth. At SAI MOBIDENT DENTAL CENTER, Dr S K Arora offers personalized care. He selects the best method for your needs and ensures safety throughout the process.

How Long Do Whitening Results Last?
Whitening results are not permanent. How long they last depends on your habits and oral care. Drinking coffee, tea, or smoking can cause stains to return sooner. Good brushing and regular dental visits help keep your smile brighter for longer. Most people need touch-ups every few months to a year.
