Raffles Place Teeth Whitening: Are You Suitable for This Procedure?

Are you considering teeth whitening? You’ll need a thorough examination of your teeth before you can proceed with your treatment. Remember also to bring your medical history to our clinic, as this information will help us serve your oral hygiene needs enhancement. 

We need to ensure there’s nothing wrong with your medical situation and you can safely proceed with the teeth whitening procedure. No doubt, a flawless and attractive smile is on everyone’s wish list, as it visibly impacts your facial appearance and self-confidence. However, it’s advisable not to assume that teeth whitening is right for improving your smile until you consult your dentist.

What Existing Dental Conditions Prevent You From Getting Your Teeth Whitened?

If you come down to our Raffles Place Nuffield Dental clinic, we can help you determine if teeth whitening is right for you with an oral exam and customise your treatment to ensure decent results.

Why do you need a prior consultation? Your dentist is a professional who can see things you might miss and is trained to know what to look for. That’s why you shouldn’t hesitate to inform your dentist about any allergies you may have or whether you’re pregnant or not.

If you suffer from bleeding gums or any other dental issues, make sure to let your dentist know - as this might render you unsuitable for teeth whitening.

We have put together a teeth whitening checklist for your next dental visit that lists the main things our professionals will be looking for at your teeth whitening appointment: 

  • Preliminary signs of cavities or tooth decay or damage: Even if you brush and floss your teeth daily, you can still be prone to cavities, as your diet plays a part in your oral hygiene too. Hence, it’s advisable to fix these issues before you start on teeth whitening or other cosmetic dentistry procedures.
  • Gingivitis or gum inflammation: Not to be taken lightly, gingivitis is the preliminary stage of gum disease, which can lead to periodontitis - which eventually causes tooth loss. Before embarking on your teeth whitening procedure, it’s important to treat these issues first. This helps avoid future problems down the road. 

  • Malocclusions and other types of overbites: A regular checkup will help detect such issues—any spacing issues need to be corrected before you proceed with your whitening treatment.  
  • Ensure that your teeth stains are the right kind: Teeth whitening is a topical procedure that includes applying a professional-strength bleaching solution to your teeth surfaces to erase teeth stains and give you a brighter smile. Do note that not all teeth stains develop on the surface; however, teeth discoloured from within will not enhance with whitening. A professional examination will help you correctly diagnose the type of teeth stains you have.  

When it comes to teeth whitening, you can count on us to provide a thorough treatment that meets your specific needs. If you come down to our Raffles Place Nuffield Dental clinic, you can be sure of receiving complete dental care for your entire family. We take pride in providing quality care for all our patients, and our selection of dental services in Singapore ensures that you and your loved ones are well taken care of.
