Overview
What to expect from Teeth Whitening
Teeth naturally darken and stain over time from coffee, tea, tobacco, and age. Professional whitening uses controlled, dentist-supervised bleaching agents to lighten teeth safely and more effectively than over-the-counter products.
MedVocs' dentists first check that your teeth and gums are healthy, then offer in-clinic whitening for fast results or custom take-home trays for gradual whitening at your convenience.

How to prepare (before surgery)
- Attend a pre-surgery consultation where your surgeon reviews your history, examines you, and explains the procedure and expected outcome.
- Complete any pre-operative tests advised — such as blood tests, ECG, or imaging — so you can be confirmed fit for surgery.
- Tell your surgeon about all medicines you take (especially blood thinners like aspirin), and any allergies — some may need to be paused before surgery.
- Eat lightly and stay hydrated unless your surgeon advises otherwise — prolonged fasting is usually not required.
- Arrange for a family member or friend to accompany you and take you home after the procedure.
What happens during the procedure — step by step
- 1
After anaesthesia, an endoscope is passed through a natural opening so no external cut is needed.
- 2
A magnified camera view lets the surgeon see the treatment area clearly on a monitor.
- 3
The condition is treated precisely using specialised instruments passed alongside the endoscope.
- 4
You are moved to recovery once the surgeon confirms the procedure is complete.
Recovery & what to expect afterwards
- You are observed in a recovery area for a few hours and, in most cases, discharged the same day once you are stable.
- Most patients return to light daily activities within a recovery window of about none (immediate), depending on individual healing.
- You will receive clear instructions on wound care, medication, diet, and activity, plus a scheduled follow-up to review your progress.
Aftercare & precautions
- Take prescribed medicines (including any antibiotics or pain relief) exactly as directed, and keep the surgical area clean and dry.
- Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and driving until your surgeon confirms it is safe to resume them.
- Watch for warning signs — increasing pain, swelling, bleeding, discharge, or fever — and contact your care team promptly if they occur.
- Attend all follow-up appointments so healing can be checked and any stitches or dressings managed on time.
