At Apollo Dental Care, we combine advanced technology with compassionate care to give you a cleaner, brighter and healthier smile.
Yellow stains, hard deposits on the teeth, bleeding gums and bad breath are some of the most common reasons people visit a dentist, and brushing alone often cannot fix them.
Apollo Dental Care offers professional teeth whitening and scaling in Patna on Boring Road. Scaling removes plaque and tartar to keep your gums healthy, and whitening lightens the colour of your teeth. Together, they give you teeth that look and feel clean. We examine your mouth first, explain what is needed and give you a clear price before we begin.
Many people think scaling and whitening are the same treatment. They are different, and each does a different job.
Dental scaling (professional cleaning) removes plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) from the surface of your teeth and from just below the gum line, using an ultrasonic scaler and fine hand instruments. It is mainly about gum health: it helps stop bleeding gums, gum inflammation and bad breath. It does not damage the enamel, and it is followed by polishing to smooth the teeth.
Teeth whitening (bleaching) uses a dental whitening gel to break down the stains inside the tooth, making the natural tooth colour lighter. It is mainly about appearance.
Because tartar and surface stains can hide the true colour of your teeth, we usually recommend scaling and polishing first and then whitening. Done in this order, whitening works better and looks more even.
At Apollo Dental Care, Patna, we focus on keeping your teeth clean, healthy and naturally bright with comfortable, professional dental care.
We examine your teeth and gums to understand your oral health and recommend the right cleaning or whitening treatment.
We use professional dental instruments to remove plaque and hardened tartar from your teeth and along the gumline.
After scaling, polishing helps smooth the tooth surfaces and remove many surface stains for a cleaner-looking smile.
If suitable for your teeth, professional whitening may help reduce discolouration and brighten your smile.
We guide you on brushing, flossing and daily oral care to help maintain your results and support healthy gums.

No. Professional scaling removes tartar that irritates the gums. If teeth feel loose or sensitive afterwards, existing gum disease or bone loss may have been masked by the tartar. Scaling helps improve gum health, but your dentist may need to assess any tooth mobility.
Scaling is usually comfortable, although you may feel mild sensitivity or tingling, especially if your gums are inflamed. Tell your dentist if you feel discomfort so they can adjust the treatment or consider a numbing gel when appropriate.
Inflamed gums can bleed easily, so mild bleeding after scaling may occur. It generally improves within a day or two with gentle brushing and proper oral hygiene. Contact your dentist if bleeding continues, becomes heavy or worsens.
Many people benefit from a dental check-up and professional cleaning every six months. However, the ideal frequency depends on plaque build-up, gum health and your dental history. People with gum disease may need more frequent cleaning.
Professional teeth whitening performed under a dentist's guidance is generally considered safe for suitable patients. Temporary tooth sensitivity and mild gum irritation are possible side effects. Your dentist should examine your teeth and gums before treatment.
Teeth whitening is not painful for most people. Some patients experience temporary sensitivity or mild gum irritation that usually settles within a day or two. Tell your dentist if you have sensitive teeth before starting treatment.
Results depend on your oral hygiene and lifestyle habits. With good care and limited exposure to staining drinks and tobacco, whitening results may last a year or longer. Smoking, tea, coffee and other dark drinks can cause stains to return sooner.
No. Whitening products change the colour of natural teeth but do not lighten crowns, fillings or veneers. If you have visible restorations, your dentist can discuss the expected result and suitable options before treatment.
For the first 24 to 48 hours, follow your dentist's advice and limit strongly coloured foods, drinks and tobacco, which may contribute to staining. After this period, you can generally return to your usual diet while keeping stain-causing drinks moderate.
Yes, many suitable patients can have scaling, polishing and whitening in one visit. If your gums are very inflamed or you have significant sensitivity, your dentist may recommend cleaning first and scheduling whitening after your gums have settled.
