Assured Dental Care is a dental clinic in Andheri West, Mumbai, where teeth whitening is offered to lighten the natural colour of teeth that have yellowed with age or darkened with tea, coffee or tobacco. Whitening uses a peroxide gel that lightens the colour of the tooth from within. It is a dental treatment that starts with an examination, because decay, gum disease and some fillings affect whether and how whitening can be done.
Your care is led by Dr. Shreya Shah, Chief Dentist, who checks your teeth and gums first, records your starting shade and explains the methods that suit you. If you are looking for a dentist in Andheri West for teeth whitening, the first step is an examination and a talk about what you want and what is realistic for your teeth.

Teeth whitening at Assured Dental Care in Andheri West, Mumbai lightens natural teeth with a peroxide gel, in the clinic or with custom trays at home under supervision. Dr. Shreya Shah examines your teeth and gums first and records your shade. Results vary and fade over time, and short-term sensitivity is common.
Examination and shade planning start at your first visit, subject to availability.
Decay, gum disease and worn enamel are looked for before whitening, so that it does not cause pain.
Dr. Shah explains which method suits your teeth, your gums and your routine.
Teeth whitening lightens the colour of natural teeth using a gel that contains peroxide. The gel releases oxygen, which passes into the tooth and breaks up the molecules that cause stains. The tooth is lightened from within, and the surface is not scraped away. It works on natural tooth colour and does not change crowns, veneers or fillings.1
Teeth darken because of age, because of staining from tea, coffee, red wine and tobacco, because of some medicines taken in childhood, and because of injury to a tooth. A professional teeth cleaning and scaling removes surface stain first, and some people find this is all they need. Whitening is advised when the stain is within the tooth.2
A single darkened tooth after injury or root canal treatment can sometimes be lightened from inside the tooth. When teeth are chipped, misshapen or heavily restored, other treatments such as veneers or dental bonding may suit better, and we explain the options.
Whitening lightens natural teeth from within, and a dental check first shows whether it will suit yours.
Dr. Shreya Shah decides this only after an examination of your teeth and gums. These are the general patterns.
If gums are inflamed, gum treatment usually comes first. If a tooth has decay, a filling is done before whitening. If stains are very deep or teeth are uneven, we explain other options.
Whitening suits healthy natural teeth, and an examination shows whether yours qualify.
The right method depends on your teeth, your gums and how quickly you want results. Dr. Shah explains the choices.
Gel is applied to the teeth at the clinic with the gums protected, in a single longer visit or a few visits. It suits people who want to be supervised throughout.
One or more visitsCustom trays are made from impressions or a scan of your teeth, and you use gel in them at home, as directed, over a number of days. The dentist checks progress.
Planned per caseA professional clean can remove surface stain. Veneers or bonding can improve the colour and shape of teeth that do not whiten well.
After discussion| Compare | In-clinic whitening | Supervised home whitening | Clean only |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where it is done | At the clinic | At home in custom trays | At the clinic |
| Changes tooth colour | Yes, from within | Yes, from within | Removes surface stain only |
| Typical timeline | One or more visits | Several days of use | One visit |
| Main side effect | Sensitivity, gum irritation | Sensitivity, gum irritation | Mild tenderness |
| Suits crowns or veneers | No change to them | No change to them | Yes, cleans them |
The method follows your teeth and your routine, and we explain the trade-offs for each.
Your plan depends on the method you choose and how your teeth respond. It may have more or fewer steps.1
Good results come from a dental check, a plan that suits your teeth and a method you can follow.
Dr. Shah checks your teeth and gums for decay, gum disease, worn enamel and old fillings, and takes X-rays if needed. Problems are treated before whitening.
You talk about the shade you hope for, how long you want it to take and any past sensitivity. We explain what is realistic for your teeth.
A professional clean removes plaque and surface stain, so that the gel can reach the tooth. Some staining disappears at this step.
Your starting shade is matched against a shade guide and noted, and photographs may be taken. This lets you see the change.
For in-clinic whitening, a barrier protects the gums and soft tissues from the gel. For home whitening, custom trays are made so that the gel stays on the teeth.
In the clinic, the gel is applied to the teeth and left for the time planned, then removed. At home, you use gel in the trays as directed.
Your shade is checked again. More gel or a further visit can be planned if you want to go lighter and the teeth are comfortable.
You are told what to avoid in the first days and how to keep the colour. Touch-ups can be planned if you want to refresh the shade later.
Cost depends on your evaluation. Teeth whitening is planned for each person, so no single figure fits everyone.
Two people can need very different plans. After the examination, Dr. Shreya Shah explains the stages, and the cost of each stage is discussed before you decide to go ahead.
Call 08806796696 or message us on WhatsApp. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, or swelling is spreading to your eye or neck, go to a hospital emergency department. For a painful tooth, see dental emergency treatment.
Most side effects fade within days, and we can adjust the plan if they do not.
Whitening works well on healthy natural teeth, and we say when it will not give you what you want.
Your first visit is an examination and a plan. Whitening itself starts only when your teeth and gums are ready for it.
Brush as usual before you come, and tell us about sensitivity, pregnancy, allergies and medicines. Mention any crowns, veneers or fillings on your front teeth, because they will not change colour.
Call 08806796696 to book.

Dr. Shah explains what she finds in plain language and what is realistic for your teeth, and you decide at your own pace. If you are anxious about dental treatment, tell us at the start and we will go at a pace that suits you. We would rather you start with healthy teeth and gums and a realistic plan than rush into a shade that your teeth cannot reach.
Teeth and gums are examined for decay, gum disease and worn enamel, so that whitening is comfortable and suitable.
Dr. Shah explains what whitening can and cannot do for your teeth, including crowns, fillings and old stains, before you start.
Your starting shade is noted, so you and Dr. Shah can see the change.

Teeth whitening is planned for each person, so the cost is given only after your evaluation. It depends on the method chosen, the starting colour of your teeth, whether a clean or other treatment is needed first, the number of visits, whether custom trays are made and any touch-up plan. After the examination, Dr. Shreya Shah explains the plan and the cost of each stage before you decide.
Whitening gels contain peroxide, which breaks down into oxygen that passes into the tooth and breaks up the molecules that cause stains. This lightens the tooth from within. It does not remove the surface of the tooth, and it works on natural tooth colour only. Whitening is a dental treatment that should follow an examination.
No. Whitening gel lightens natural teeth only. Crowns, veneers, fillings and bonding do not change colour, so if you have them on front teeth, they may no longer match after your natural teeth are lightened. We check this before starting and plan around it.
It can. Many people feel short-term sensitivity to cold or a mild tenderness of the gums during or after whitening. These effects usually settle within a few days. If you already have sensitive teeth, gum disease or worn enamel, tell us, because we may suggest another approach or a gentler plan.
Results fade over time, and how long they last differs from person to person. Tea, coffee, red wine, tobacco and some foods stain teeth again. Touch-up treatment can be planned. We cannot say in advance how long the colour will stay.
No. Whitening is usually not advised for children, or during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and it needs care in people with gum disease, decay, worn enamel or very sensitive teeth. Teeth stained by some medicines or by an injury inside the tooth may respond differently. We tell you honestly if whitening will not suit you.
In-clinic whitening is done at the clinic in a single longer visit or a few visits, with the gums protected. Home whitening uses custom trays made for your teeth and gel that you use as directed at home, with checks by the dentist. Dr. Shah explains which suits your teeth and your routine.
Some products sold in shops and online have not been checked for your teeth, and trays that do not fit can leak gel on the gums. Whitening of teeth that have untreated decay or gum disease can cause pain. An examination first makes sure that whitening is suitable and that the method is right for you.
If your teeth have yellowed or darkened and you want to know what whitening can do for them, an examination is the first step. If you have been quoted for whitening elsewhere, we are happy to give a second opinion. Call or message us during clinic hours and we will confirm a time with you.
Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 7:30 PM.
A professional clean removes surface stain and is the usual first step.
Veneers cover the front of a tooth and suit colour or shape concerns that whitening cannot fix.
Bonding repairs chips and gaps with tooth-coloured material.
