Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening in Kolhapur
Whitening lightens the natural colour of teeth. It is offered at the clinic as part of cosmetic care. It works on tooth structure, not on white fillings, crowns, or dentures.
Who it is for
Whitening suits people whose teeth are healthy and whose colour is the main concern. It is a poor starting point when there is untreated decay, exposed roots that are already sensitive, or a crown on a front tooth that would then look darker than the teeth around it.
What to expect
The shade is recorded, the gums are checked, and the method is explained. Temporary sensitivity to cold is common and usually fades. Results vary with the starting colour and with tea, coffee, and tobacco afterwards. The clinic will not promise a shade from a photograph.
Aftercare
Use a sensitive toothpaste if you were advised to. Avoid strong-coloured food and drink in the early period you are given. Whitening is not permanent. Staining returns gradually, and a top-up is a later conversation, not an obligation sold on the day.
Questions patients ask
Will whitening hurt?
Zinging sensitivity for a day or two is common. Sharp pain is a reason to pause and contact the clinic. Whitening is not described here as painless.
Can whitening fix a single dark tooth?
A single tooth that darkened after trauma or root canal treatment often needs a different approach. The clinic will look at the cause before recommending whitening for the whole smile.
