Gradually, our teeth may become discolored or yellowish due to factors such as genetics, age or personal habits such as drinking or smoking. Fortunately, an immediate whitening effect can be obtained using available advanced technology such as teeth-bleaching chemicals.

For the package, teeth scaling and polishing will also be included in the treatment plan.

*Note that teeth whitening may not correct certain forms of discoloration.

There are two types of Teeth Whitening:

<In-office Teeth Whitening>
Done by our affiliated clinic's professionals, ensuring suitable tooth whitening treatment after having done the initial checks.
· 2 different options to choose from - Zoom Tooth Whitening or Pola Tooth Whitening

<Home Bleaching>
· Treatment is done by yourself at the comfort of your own home.
· Treatment includes applying whitening gel by a customized bleaching tray and prescription whitening gel as directed by our affiliated dentist.
· Treatment is done over a period of time to attain wanted results.

Zoom is a widely used bleaching process to lighten discoloration of enamel and dentin. The procedure uses the Zoom Advanced Power Chairside Lamp to activate 25% hydrogen peroxide whitening, accelerating the bleaching process. As hydrogen peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin to bleach a stained surface, leaving the structure of the tooth unchanged and undamaged.

Compared to other teeth whitening procedures, the light used for the Zoom whitening process filters out infrared emissions to limit the extra heat your teeth are exposed to. This is an advantage over laser teeth whitening, which can overheat teeth. Zoom whitening works best on yellow or brown staining, but not so satisfying for grey staining. The light can also target the entire mouth at once, which reduces treatment time.

At our affiliated clinic, a Full-Mouth Zoom Whitening treatment is available. For a full-mouth treatment, all the teeth will be whitened, except on crown or veneer.​

First introduced over 10 years ago, Pola's unique formulation dissolves and releases the active whitening ingredient as soon as the treatment starts. Releasing and breaking down peroxide ions fast, this method does not required the use of UV light therapy to accelerate the process. Pola is designed to protect your sensitive dental nerves with Pola Desensitizing Technology which combines neutral pH and PDT to reduce the likelihood of gum irritation, burning, pain or long term gum damage.
