Achieving a brighter smile has become more accessible with modern dental techniques. At Dental Designs Clinic, we have developed WHITEN+, a professional teeth whitening Singapore program designed to suit different lifestyles, needs, and levels of discolouration or teeth stains. With WHITEN+, patients can select the option that aligns with their goals, from a simple in-office whitening to a combination of clinic and at-home whitening with teeth whitening kits.
What are the teeth whitening options at Dental Designs Clinic?
1) WHITEN+ Copper
WHITEN+ Copper is suitable for patients looking for a gentle enhancement to their natural tooth colour. This program includes a full dental scaling and polishing session along with Airflow Prophyjet stain removal to prepare the teeth. A 15-minute application of WHITEN+ gel in the clinic provides a noticeable improvement during your routine cleaning. Copper is convenient, quick, and can be repeated at your regular 3–6 monthly cleaning appointments to maintain tooth brightness.
2) WHITEN+ Silver
WHITEN+ Silver combines in-office teeth whitening with continued care at home. Along with full scaling, polishing, Airflow stain removal, and a 15-minute WHITEN+ gel application in the clinic, patients receive a Take Home Whitening Kit with customised upper and lower soft trays and whitening gels. These trays ensure even contact with each tooth and reduce the risk of gel leakage. The gels are designed for daily use over two weeks, after which most patients still have leftover gel for occasional touch-ups.

WHITEN+ Gold offers in-clinic professional treatment for deeper stain removal. The program includes full dental scaling and polishing, Airflow stain removal, and multiple cycles of WHITEN+ High Strength gel applied in 8-minute intervals. A protective gingival barrier shields sensitive areas of the gums and teeth surfaces, followed by a 15-minute topical fluoride gel to reduce sensitivity. Gold provides noticeable whitening results in a controlled clinical setting.
4) WHITEN+ Diamond
WHITEN+ Diamond is a multi-stage program that starts with in-clinic application of WHITEN+ High Strength gel for stain removal and continues with a Take Home Whitening Kit to enhance and maintain results. The teeth whitening kit includes customised trays and gels. This allows patients to continue the professional treatment at home, supporting even and consistent whitening over time.

How to Choose the Right WHITEN+ Option for You
Choosing the right WHITEN+ by Dental Designs Clinic package depends on your goals, schedule, and how much time you’d like to spend at the clinic or whitening at home. Each option is designed to fit different needs and lifestyles.
WHITEN+ Copper: This is ideal for those looking for a quick, effortless brightness boost. This option gives your natural tooth colour a noticeable lift in a short time — ideal to combine with your routine 3–6 month cleaning appointment for an instant refresh.
WHITEN+ Silver: This offers a great balance between convenience and consistency. It combines professional in-office whitening treatments with a take-home teeth whitening kit for continued results using custom-made whitening trays. It’s ideal if you prefer gradual whitening, for example, if you have an event, photoshoot, or wedding coming up and want to brighten your smile progressively.
Gold: Designed for patients who want a significant, visible change in just one visit. This in-clinic program uses a high-strength whitening gel, ensuring faster, more dramatic results. It’s ideal for those with coffee, tea, or wine stains who want a visibly whiter smile after a single session in a professional setting.
Diamond: The most comprehensive option, combining the power of in-clinic whitening and at-home maintenance. The multi-stage process starts with deep stain removal in the clinic and continues with a take-home whitening kit to enhance and maintain your results over time.

How does WHITEN+ Teeth Whitening Actually Work?
All WHITEN+ treatments use a bleaching agent or bleaching gel, such as hydrogen peroxide. They contain oxygenating molecules that gently penetrate and break down stains within the teeth.
Treatments begin with thorough dental scaling and Airflow polishing in the dental clinic to improve oral hygiene, remove stubborn stains and prepare teeth for optimal teeth whitening. WHITEN+ is developed in-house by Dental Designs Clinic to ensure safe, consistent, and effective results for patients seeking brighter teeth.
More About the Process of Oxygenation
The effectiveness of WHITEN+ lies in the controlled release of oxygenating molecules from the bleaching agent (hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide). As these molecules penetrate the enamel and dentin layers, they interact with the discoloured molecules, breaking them down into smaller, colourless structures. This reaction not only tackles tooth discolouration but also enhances their natural luster without compromising the tooth structure.
More About the Role of Scaling and Polishing in Preparing for Whitening
For any teeth whitening treatment to be effective, it must be applied to a clean surface. A professional scaling and polishing session is a critical first step. This dental procedure removes plaque, tartar, and surface-level extrinsic stains that a bleaching agent cannot penetrate. By creating a clean canvas, scaling and polishing ensure that the whitening gel makes direct contact with the enamel, maximising its effectiveness and leading to a more uniform and brilliant result.
Important Considerations Before Undergoing Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a safe procedure for most people, but it's not suitable for everyone. A thorough evaluation of your dental health and realistic expectations are crucial for a successful outcome.
Suitability: Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Ideal candidates are individuals with healthy teeth and gums who wish to lighten extrinsic stains. Those with yellow-toned discolouration tend to respond well to bleaching agents. Whitening is generally not recommended for individuals under 16 (as the tooth pulp chamber is still large), or those with a known allergy to peroxides.
Existing Dental Restorations: Crowns, Porcelain Veneers, Fillings (Tooth-coloured Filling, Amalgam)
It is critical to understand that bleaching agents only work on natural tooth enamel. They will not change the colour of dental restorations like crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you have these in your front teeth, whitening your natural teeth may create a noticeable colour mismatch. You may need to replace these restorations after whitening to achieve a uniform smile.
Oral Health: Addressing Cavities, Gum Disease, and Oral Hygiene First
Your dentist will insist on addressing any underlying dental issues before proceeding with whitening. Applying a bleaching agent to teeth with untreated cavities can cause excruciating pain as the peroxide reaches the inner nerve. Similarly, individuals with gum disease or receding gums are at higher risk for severe irritation and sensitivity. Good oral hygiene is a prerequisite for a safe and comfortable whitening experience.
How Teeth Whitening is Different at Dental Designs Clinic
Four Tailored Treatment Options
At Dental Designs Clinic, each treatment program is tailored to the specific needs of the patient. Before any teeth whitening procedures, a comprehensive oral examination is conducted by our dental professional. This helps ensure your teeth are ready for whitening, with any dental treatments needed for issues like cavities or gum disease completed beforehand.
Comfort Management During Teeth Whitening
Understanding that some patients may experience sensitivity during or after the teeth whitening process, WHITEN+ treatments incorporate several comfort management strategies. During in-clinic treatments, protective barriers are used to shield sensitive areas from the bleaching agent. Following the procedure, a fluoride treatment is applied for WHITEN+ Gold and Diamond, which serves to strengthen the enamel and alleviate discomfort.

Caring for Your Smile After WHITEN+
Post-whitening, maintaining optimal oral hygiene is crucial for prolonging the effects of WHITEN+. While WHITEN+ treatments are safe, patients should keep in mind the following:
- Temporary Sensitivity: Some patients may feel mild sensitivity to hot or cold foods after teeth whitening, especially with stronger gels such as Gold or Diamond. Using a desensitising gel or toothpaste can help.
- Gum Protection: In-office teeth whitening treatments include a protective gingival barrier to shield the gums. For take-home whitening kits, it’s important to use the trays carefully so the whitening gel doesn’t come into contact with the gums, as this can cause gum irritation.
- Consistency: Teeth whitening gels must be applied according to instructions. Overuse does not improve results and may increase sensitivity.
- Stain Prevention: Avoid foods and drinks that can cause staining, such as coffee, tea, and red wine, immediately after teeth whitening.
- Limitations: Tooth whitening works on natural teeth and may not address certain stains caused by medications, trauma, or internal tooth issues. For white spot lesions, treatments like ICON may be recommended.
- Dental Health: Teeth whitening should only be performed on healthy teeth and gums. Any cavities, gum issues, or enamel concerns should be treated first.
