Teeth Whitening in Sushant Lok, Gurugram
Teeth whitening lightens the natural colour of your teeth by breaking down stains inside the enamel. At Modenta Dental Clinic in Sushant Lok Phase 1, Sector 43, Gurugram, whitening is laser-assisted and carried out by Dr Aarti Trakroo, who trained in laser dentistry at SOLA, Vienna. It is often part of a wider smile makeover that can include veneers, bonding or laser gum contouring.

What whitening is
A whitening gel is applied to the teeth while the gums are protected, and a laser light helps activate the gel. Stains from tea, coffee, tobacco and age respond well. Whitening changes the colour of natural enamel only: existing fillings, crowns and veneers stay the same shade, which is why front-tooth restorations are checked before you start.
Who it suits, and the alternatives
Whitening suits adults with healthy teeth and gums whose teeth have yellowed or picked up surface stains. It is not done during pregnancy, and decay or gum problems are treated first. Grey stains from old injuries or certain medicines respond less well. In those cases, or for chipped and uneven teeth, bonding or veneers may give a better result, and the options are explained at the consultation.
What happens, visit by visit
- Check-up and shade. Your teeth and gums are examined, any cleaning needed is done, and the starting shade is recorded.
- Whitening. The gums are protected, the gel is applied and activated with the laser in short cycles, usually in a single visit.
- Review. The new shade is compared with the starting one, and you are given aftercare advice.
Risks, recovery and aftercare
Some people feel temporary sensitivity for a day or two, which usually settles on its own or with a sensitivity toothpaste. For the first two days avoid tea, coffee, red sauces and smoking, which stain freshly whitened teeth most easily. Results last longer with regular cleaning visits and fewer staining drinks.

Frequently asked questions
Does whitening damage enamel?
Professional whitening, done under supervision with the gums protected, does not damage healthy enamel. Temporary sensitivity is the most common side effect.
How long do the results last?
It depends on your habits. With fewer staining drinks, no smoking and regular cleaning, results usually last a long time; a short top-up can refresh them.
Will my fillings or crowns whiten too?
No. Whitening only changes natural enamel, so visible restorations may need replacing afterwards to match the new shade.
Can whitening be combined with other treatments?
Yes. It is often done before bonding or veneers so the new work can be matched to the lighter shade, or alongside laser gum contouring.
