Before
A woman in her early 30s felt her smile looked less bright than before, especially during daily conversations and social moments. Although her teeth were generally healthy and she maintained her oral hygiene, the tooth shade appeared slightly dull and made her smile look less fresh.
She was not looking for a major smile makeover or any change to her tooth shape. Her main goal was simple: to brighten the shade, keep the result looking comfortable, and feel more confident when smiling.
After
After whitening treatment, the tooth shade looked brighter and more even, especially across the front smile area where the dull tone had been more noticeable.
The result stayed comfortable with the patient’s natural teeth instead of looking too white or harsh. Dr Elaine Lim’s approach was to brighten the smile in a way that still suited the patient’s overall appearance, giving her more confidence in photos, work interactions and everyday social moments.
What’s the Secret?
Teeth whitening treatment works best when the patient’s current tooth shade and smile goals are understood from the start. In this case, the aim was to brighten the smile and reduce dullness without changing the natural tooth shape.
During consultation at dental clinic Sri Petaling, Dr Elaine Lim checks the tooth shade, staining pattern and patient expectations before advising whether whitening is suitable. If your teeth still look dull even with regular brushing, you may contact Dr Elaine Lim to find out what can be done for your smile.
