What is teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment that lightens the shade of your natural teeth using a peroxide-based whitening gel. It does not remove tooth structure. It reduces staining caused by food, drink, smoking and ageing so your enamel looks brighter.

At Prudent Dental Care Clinic in Viman Nagar, whitening is carried out by Dr. Puja Bansal (BDS), who focuses on cosmetic and aesthetic dentistry. Every case starts with a check-up so any decay or gum issues are addressed before whitening begins.

Key takeaways

Teeth whitening lightens the shade of natural enamel; it does not remove or damage tooth structure.
It only works on natural teeth. Crowns, veneers and fillings keep their original colour.
A dental check-up comes first so decay or gum problems are treated before whitening.
Results and the degree of lightening vary from person to person and are not permanent.
At Prudent Dental Care Clinic, whitening is supervised by Dr. Puja Bansal (BDS); cost is quoted after a consultation.

Step by step

What does in-clinic whitening involve?

1

Check-up & shade assessment

We examine your teeth and gums and note your starting shade to plan a suitable, realistic result.

2

Preparation

Your lips and gums are gently isolated to protect the soft tissues before the gel is applied.

3

Whitening gel

A professional whitening gel is applied to the teeth and, where used, activated to lighten the enamel.

4

Aftercare advice

You receive care instructions and tips to help your brighter shade last longer.

Some people get temporary tooth sensitivity during whitening. It usually settles after treatment. Tell your dentist if your teeth are sensitive so the approach can be adjusted.

In-clinic vs custom take-home whitening

Option	Where it happens	Supervision	Good for
In-clinic whitening	At the clinic in a single appointment	Carried out by the dental team	Those who prefer a professional, supervised session
Custom take-home trays	At home using fitted trays	Dentist-prescribed; you apply the gel	Those who prefer to whiten gradually at home

Avoid non-professional, clinically unproven whitening kits. They can give uneven results and may harm your teeth or gums. The right method for you depends on your teeth and goals, which Dr. Bansal will discuss at your consultation.

Why choose professional whitening?

Carried out or supervised by a qualified dentist
Begins with a check-up to confirm your teeth are healthy
Strength and timing tailored to your teeth and sensitivity
Helps reduce staining from coffee, tea, red wine and smoking
A brighter, more confident natural smile

What about cost?

There is no single price for teeth whitening because every smile is different. The total depends on the method you choose (in-clinic whitening or custom take-home trays) and the condition of your teeth. After your consultation, we give you a clear, written quote so you know exactly what to expect, with no surprises.

FAQ

Teeth whitening FAQs

Is professional teeth whitening safe?

When carried out or supervised by a qualified dentist after a check-up, professional whitening is generally considered a safe cosmetic treatment. A dental assessment first rules out decay or gum problems that should be treated before whitening, and the dentist chooses a suitable strength for you.

How much whiter will my teeth get?

Results vary from person to person and depend on the type of staining and your natural tooth shade. Whitening lightens the shade of natural enamel; it cannot guarantee a specific number of shades. Dr. Bansal will give you a realistic idea of what to expect at your consultation.

Does teeth whitening work on crowns, veneers or fillings?

No. Whitening only changes the colour of natural tooth enamel, not crowns, veneers or fillings. If you have restorations in your smile line, they will keep their original shade, so any replacement is usually planned after whitening so the new work matches.

Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?

Some people notice temporary tooth sensitivity during or shortly after whitening. It usually settles once treatment stops. Tell your dentist if you have sensitive teeth. The strength and timing can be adjusted, and desensitising products may help.

How long do whitening results last?

Whitening is not permanent. How long it lasts depends on your diet and habits. Coffee, tea, red wine and smoking all cause teeth to darken again over time. Good oral hygiene and occasional top-ups help maintain the result.

How much does teeth whitening cost in Pune?

There is no fixed online price. The cost depends on the method chosen (in-clinic or custom take-home trays) and the condition of your teeth. We give you a clear, personalised quote after your consultation rather than a one-size-fits-all figure.
