Tooth Whitening

Always wanted a whiter and brighter smile? Tooth whitening is a fast, safe and easy procedure that gives patients sparkling white teeth and a great looking smile.

Tobacco, coffee, tea, alcohol, food additives, some developmental blemishes and natural aging all contribute to
the discolouring and yellowing of teeth. Tooth whitening is
a cosmetic dental treatmentthat can provide patients with
fantastic results that whiten the colour
of teeth which have discoloured over time.

Tooth whitening, if maintained correctly, can leave patients
with results that last. As tooth whitening agents have varying levels of peroxide in them, all procedures should only be carried out by qualified dentists who use a clinically proven proven cosmetic dental treatment.

Tooth whitening procedures are typically carried out at home by the patient following a review and instruction within a dental care centre by a trained professional. Before commencing any tooth whitening procedure it is best to discuss expected outcomes and time frames with a dentist to ensure the most appropriate method is selected.

For bleaching, impressions are taken of the relevant teeth to prepare a custom-made ultra thin mouth guard that is used as a tray to hold the bleaching gel. Whitening gel is then placed in the tray and the patient is required to wear it for up to 90 minutes a day for up to 2 weeks for gradually improving results.

Some tooth whitening procedures are undertaken in the dental chair by experienced dentists. Tooth whitening gel is placed on the teeth and then a clinically proven ultraviolet light activates the whitening process. Check with your local Centre to see which procedures are available to you.
