Tea, coffee, red wine and age all darken tooth enamel over time. If you want a brighter smile, you will find many options in Kampala, at very different prices. Here is how professional whitening works and what it costs.
How much does professional whitening cost?
At M Dental Care, professional teeth whitening costs UGX 1,000,000 per session. It is a fixed price, performed and supervised by our dental team. See our full dental price list.
What happens in a session?
- Check. We examine your teeth and gums first to make sure whitening is suitable.
- Protection. Your gums and lips are protected before any gel is applied.
- Whitening. Clinical-strength gel lifts staining over about 90 minutes.
You can see a visible difference after a single visit. Many patients have their teeth cleaned and polished first for the best possible result.
How long do results last?
Typically one to three years, depending on your diet and habits. Heavy tea, coffee and smoking shorten the result. Regular cleaning visits help it last.
Dentist, salon or home kit?
Whitening done by a dental team starts with an examination and protects your gums. Salons and kits cannot check for decay, gum disease or other problems that make whitening unsuitable, so ask who is doing the work. Our post Is Teeth Whitening Safe? answers the questions we hear most.
Is whitening right for everyone?
Not always. Whitening works on natural tooth enamel. It does not change the colour of crowns, fillings or veneers, and teeth with decay or gum problems need treatment first. If your teeth are stained in a way whitening cannot fix, other options such as veneers may suit you better. A dentist can tell you after an examination.
