From coffee to desserts, it seems like everything we consume can cause tooth discolouration. Some people go the extra mile to prevent stains by brushing their teeth after every meal or using an at-home teeth whitening treatment.
If that’s too much of a hassle or you haven’t seen much of an improvement, you may want to try one of these teeth whitening treatments in Singapore. Read on to find out the difference between the treatments in aesthetic salons and dental clinics, so you can choose what’s best for you.
Aesthetic salons use an LED blue wavelength light in their teeth whitening treatments. A gel will be applied on the teeth and activated with an LED light. This helps catalyse the whitening agent to form oxygen radicals, effectively removing discoloured substances in the enamel.
More aesthetic salons are switching over to a non-peroxide gel, which is recommended for those with sensitive teeth. Unlike ones with hydrogen peroxide, it uses a substitute that contains no bleaching agents but is still effective at lightening stains.
Outfitted with comfy furniture and pops of green, Wellaholic’s outlets are cosy spots to go to for an aesthetic treatment.
The TeethWhite treatment on its menu uses a non-peroxide teeth whitening gel to remove stains. The treatment comes in an Unlimited Price Plan, which lets you schedule weekly treatments for the best results, and a Per Session Plan, so you can treat your teeth whenever you want to.
Price: $109 for 1 TeethWhite Per-Session treatment, $169 for 1 month of the Unlimited Price Plan

Professionally dispensed gels are more concentrated, which is why in-office whitening is considered the most effective, quickest way for noticeable results. However, you’ll have to fork out much more for an in-office session. If you prefer to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home, the dentist will prescribe a teeth whitening kit for your convenience.
The effects of in-office whitening can last from several months up to 3 years, depending on your lifestyle. If the discolouration is too extreme, you may be recommended veneers or crowns instead.
With 12 branches across Singapore, it’s easy to find a Raffles Dental outlet near you for an in-office teeth whitening treatment.
Before the procedure, routine scaling and polishing will be done to remove plaque build-up. This also helps to maximise the contact between your teeth and the whitening gel. The gel will then be activated by a laser light. Based on the severity of your teeth discolouration, you may have to head back for multiple sessions.
