Whitening uses a professional-grade gel to lighten stains held within the tooth. At Tooth Point Dental Care it costs ৳5,000–12,000 across 1–2 sittings. Results last from 6 months to 2 years depending on diet and habits.
When you need it
What it works on
- Tea, coffee, paan and smoking stains — works well
- Natural age-related yellowing — works well
- Tetracycline (medication) staining — limited effect
- Crowns, fillings, dentures — no effect, artificial materials don't change colour
How it’s done
Worth knowing first
Yellowing is often caused by surface calculus and staining. For many patients, scaling and polishing alone (৳1,000–2,000) is enough. The dentist will tell you whether whitening is actually needed — we don’t sell treatment you don’t require.
A caution: avoid over-the-counter whitening kits and home remedies — baking soda, lemon, ash, charcoal. These permanently erode enamel, and enamel does not grow back.
