Teeth Whitening

Tooth colour can change over time due to coffee, tea, smoking, and other factors, including natural tooth characteristics, certain medicines, or previous injuries. Teeth whitening uses specially formulated agents to lighten natural teeth, with results depending on the type of discolouration and how it responds to treatment.

At Dr. Ahmed Elwan’s Clinic, whitening begins with an examination of your teeth and gums to identify the cause of staining and check whether treatment is suitable. Some patients may first need professional cleaning or treatment for decay or gum inflammation. Existing fillings, crowns, and veneers are also considered, as these restorations do not lighten in the same way as natural teeth.

The degree of whitening varies between individuals, and temporary sensitivity may occur during or after treatment. The approach is therefore selected according to your needs, with clear guidance on expected results and aftercare. Good oral hygiene and limiting exposure to staining substances can help maintain a brighter appearance.
