How many shades lighter will my teeth get after laser whitening?

Results vary depending on your natural tooth shade and the degree of staining. Most patients achieve between four and eight shades lighter in a single in-chair session at Dovers Dental Clinic. Your dentist will assess your teeth beforehand and give you a realistic indication of expected results.

How long do laser teeth whitening results last?

Results typically last between one and two years. Regular dental cleanings, good oral hygiene, and reducing intake of staining foods and drinks — such as coffee, tea, and red wine — will help maintain your results for longer.

Is laser teeth whitening safe for my enamel?

Yes. When performed by trained dental professionals at Dovers Dental Clinic, laser teeth whitening is safe. We use clinically approved bleaching agents and protect your gums throughout the procedure. Some patients experience temporary sensitivity afterwards, which typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours.

Why it matters

Laser teeth whitening in Lagos — how it works and how white you can go

☀

Visibly Brighter in One Visit

In-clinic laser whitening activates a professional-grade whitening agent with a specialised light, breaking down stubborn stains on enamel in a single appointment — results that take weeks with home kits happen in one hour.

🧱

Safer Than Over-the-Counter Products

Supermarket and online whitening kits can cause significant sensitivity, uneven results, and enamel damage when not used correctly. In-clinic whitening at Dovers is supervised by a licensed dentist throughout — protecting your teeth and your results.

💪

Long-Lasting, Even Results

Professional whitening achieves more even, deeper results across all tooth surfaces compared to strips or trays. With good habits — limiting staining foods and drinks — results typically last 12 to 18 months.

Step by step

What to expect during your professional teeth whitening session in Lekki

Every visit at Dovers is clear, comfortable, and straightforward. Here is exactly what to expect.

Consultation & Shade Assessment

Your dentist checks your teeth are healthy and suitable for whitening, and takes a pre-treatment shade reading so you can see the difference after treatment.

Gum Protection

A protective barrier is applied to your gums to ensure the whitening gel contacts only tooth enamel — keeping gum tissue safe throughout the procedure.

Gel Application & Light Activation

The professional whitening gel is applied to your teeth. The laser or LED light activates the agent, accelerating the whitening process. The gel is applied in multiple cycles within the appointment.

Final Shade Comparison

After treatment, a final shade reading is taken so you can see your results clearly. Post-whitening care instructions are provided to protect your result.

🧱

No Gum or Enamel Damage

Protective barriers and careful application ensure whitening gel contacts only enamel. We never compromise on gum safety for speed.

🔎

Suitability Assessment First

Not every tooth is suitable for whitening. We assess for crowns, veneers, and sensitivity before treatment — ensuring realistic expectations and the best possible outcome for your specific teeth.
