Tooth Whitening in Novena, Singapore
What Is Tooth Whitening?
Tooth whitening is a safe, non-invasive cosmetic dental procedure designed to lighten the natural colour of your teeth, remove stains, and boost your confidence. It’s one of the most requested smile enhancement treatments, and with professional-grade whitening solutions, you can achieve noticeably whiter teeth in just a short time.
At LQ Dental in Novena, Singapore, we offer both in-clinic chairside whitening and take-home whitening kits, customised to your smile goals and lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes – when done professionally. At LQ Dental, we use MOH-approved whitening systems under controlled conditions to minimise risks.
How white will my teeth get?
Results vary, but most patients see teeth lighten by 5–8 shades. Whitening is most effective on yellowish stains (from food, drink, or ageing).
How long do the results last?
Results can last 6–12 months or longer with good oral hygiene. Avoiding staining foods (coffee, tea, wine) helps maintain brightness.
Does whitening damage my teeth?
No. Professional whitening does not weaken enamel when used as directed. Some temporary sensitivity is normal and resolves quickly.
Is take-home whitening as effective as in-clinic?
Yes – especially when used over a longer period. Chairside whitening gives faster results, while take-home offers more gradual whitening and easier touch-ups.
Can I whiten crowns, veneers, or fillings?
No. Whitening only affects natural tooth enamel. We’ll assess your restorations and offer alternative aesthetic solutions if needed.
