A bright, white smile isn’t just attractive—it’s often a sign of good oral hygiene and overall confidence. Over time, however, teeth can become stained or discolored due to various lifestyle and dietary factors. The good news? Modern teeth whitening treatments can effectively restore your smile’s brilliance.
At her clinic in Dhankawadi, Pune, Dr. Vrushali Khaire, a skilled Cosmetic Dental Surgeon, offers safe and result-oriented teeth whitening procedures tailored to your individual needs.
Why Do Teeth Become Stained?
There are two main types of tooth discoloration:
1. Extrinsic Stains
These affect the outer layer of the tooth (enamel) and are usually caused by:
- Coffee, tea, red wine, and certain foods
- Tobacco use
- Poor oral hygiene
- Aging and wear-and-tear
2. Intrinsic Stains
These affect the inner structure of the tooth (dentin) and may result from:
- Excessive fluoride exposure during tooth development
- Certain medications like tetracycline
- Trauma to a tooth
- Genetic factors
Regardless of the cause, professional teeth whitening can significantly improve the color and appearance of your teeth.
Professional Teeth Whitening vs. Over-the-Counter Products
While supermarket whitening strips or toothpaste may promise results, they are often less effective and slower than professional treatments. Dr. Vrushali Khaire uses clinically proven methods that offer noticeable improvement in just one or a few sessions—without damaging the enamel or gums.
Best Teeth Whitening Treatments Offered at the Clinic
1. In-Clinic Laser Teeth Whitening
This is one of the fastest and most effective methods. A professional-grade whitening gel is applied to your teeth, which is then activated using a special light or laser. This treatment:
- Produces immediate results—often several shades lighter in one sitting
- Is safe and painless under professional supervision
- Ideal for people with time constraints
2. Custom Take-Home Whitening Kits
If you prefer whitening your teeth at home, Dr. Vrushali offers customized trays and whitening gel:
- Designed to fit your teeth perfectly
- Offers gradual whitening over 1–2 weeks
- Allows flexibility in timing and frequency
- Comes with expert guidance and monitoring
3. Whitening for Intrinsic Stains
For deeper stains (e.g., due to medication or trauma), specialized procedures like internal bleaching (for root canal-treated teeth) or cosmetic options such as veneers or composite bonding may be recommended.
Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
- Brighter, more attractive smile
- Boost in self-confidence
- Safe and non-invasive
- Quick results with long-lasting effects
- Performed under expert supervision to protect gums and enamel
How Long Do Results Last?
With good oral hygiene and occasional touch-ups, professional teeth whitening results can last from 6 months to 2 years. Avoiding stain-causing habits and regular dental cleanings can help prolong the brightness of your smile.
Aftercare Tips for a Long-Lasting White Smile
To maintain your results, follow these post-treatment guidelines:
- Avoid tea, coffee, red wine, and colored foods for 48 hours

- Use a straw when drinking colored beverages
- Quit smoking or using tobacco

Is Teeth Whitening Safe?
Yes, when performed by a qualified professional like Dr. Vrushali Khaire, teeth whitening is both safe and effective. The procedures are designed to minimize sensitivity and protect your gums and tooth enamel.
When to Avoid Whitening Treatments
Teeth whitening is not recommended for:
- Children under 16
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- People with gum disease, tooth decay, or worn enamel
- Patients with restorations (crowns, veneers, or fillings) that won't respond to whitening
