Yes! Getting your teeth professionally whitened is a fantastic way to boost your confidence or prepare for an event, whilst increasing your oral hygiene. Given the longevity of some teeth whitening treatments, they can also make for a smart investment in your cosmetic dental work.
Like anything done in excess, teeth whitening should not be something you undergo unnecessarily. If not applied professionally, teeth whitening can strip the tooth of its protection (the enamel) and expose your teeth to damage. Our experienced dentists will ensure your treatment plan is safe for your teeth and supports your oral health!
For some patients with sensitive teeth, the teeth whitening process may cause some discomfort. It is a mostly painless process and will only result in some sensitivity immediately following the procedure. Following your teeth whitening session, our dentists will provide you with a special enamel-protecting gel to reduce sensitivity.
Professional teeth whitening is designed to last a number of years. We use teeth whitening systems that can only be administered by dentists. When you book in with us, you’ll be asked about your priorities in terms of your teeth whitening. The best results and longevity are often seen by in-chair teeth whitening patients, and you may want to opt for a reliable long-term treatment for better value.
Yes. Yellow teeth can become white through a professional teeth whitening process. The yellowness of teeth develops through food and drink stains, poor oral hygiene and smoking. Additionally, some people are genetically disposed to yellow teeth because of the tooth hue. As we age, our teeth yellow further. White teeth are not naturally occurring past youth, because of the wear and tear of the enamel associated with eating and drinking.
Phillips Zoom! teeth whitening is a type of teeth whitening product that utilises advanced blue LED. Phillips Zoom! has become increasingly popular because of its accessibility and successful outcomes. The Phillips Zoom! in-chair treatment is an impressive modern technology for dentists and the Phillips Zoom! take-home kit is an easy-to-use option for patients.
The Phillips Zoom! Teeth whitening involves applying a special whitening gel to your teeth. Our dentists will then use the Phillips Zoom! WhiteSpeed blue LED lamp on your teeth to speed up the whitening process. The Phillips Zoom! WhiteSpeed blue LED lamp takes only 45 minutes to whiten your teeth. After reaching your desired shade, we will apply a post-treatment gel to increase protection of the enamel and minimise tooth sensitivity.
In-chair Zoom! teeth whitening is safe when completed by a dental professional. Even when using your take-home Phillips Zoom! Kit, our dentists will ensure you have all the necessary information to use your teeth whitening kit safely. Any concerns you may have will be explained in depth by our dentists prior to the procedure, so that you know exactly what you’re in for.
A take-home teeth whitening kit from the dentist is a professionally approved option for completing the whitening process from the comfort of your home. It includes a special gel, custom fabricated whitening trays for your upper and lower teeth, and post-treatment gel to minimise sensitivity and enamel protectivity. While it is not as efficient as an in-chair teeth whitening treatment, it’s a great option because of the cheaper price and convenience.
