What is Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that aims to reduce stains and discolouration of teeth caused by diet and other lifestyle choices. Our dental team uses safe and effective teeth whitener products that give you fast, long-lasting results. We offer patients two options; an in-chair whitening procedure that takes less than an hour, during which UV light is used to activate a whitening gel, or a convenient take-home whitening kit with precise instructions for use.
In-Chair Teeth Whitening
In-chair teeth whitening removes stains from the teeth and lightens the colour to expose the natural white colour. The enamel of our teeth is porous and although this results in discolouration due to foods such as tea, coffee and wine, the effects can be reduced with just one simple procedure. In-chair whitening is quick, painless and convenient.
First, the dentist applies a teeth whitener to the surface of the teeth, then, using ultraviolet light, the gel is activated, allowing it to ‘lift’ stains from the surface.
In-chair whitening is ideal for patients who want quick results before a special occasion.
Benefits of in-chair teeth whitening are:
● Dental teeth whitening is more effective than over the counter or take-home tooth whitening kits
● Quick results in under an hour
● Dentists supervise the treatment and can control the amount of whitening that occurs
● Better protection for gums
● Dentists can better match the types of stains with the best treatments, leading to better results.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Take-home teeth whitening kits allow you to perform a whitening procedure at your convenience. These kits also use a whitening gel to remove stains and lighten the colour of your teeth. First, your dentist takes a mould of your teeth to create a personalised clear aligner that fits your teeth perfectly. Patients are provided with a whitening gel that is applied to the inside of the aligner, with instructions on how long the aligner must be worn over a period of 14 days.
Benefits of Take-Home Teeth Whitening
There are several advantages associated with take-home teeth whitening:
● It is more affordable than in-chair whitening
● Custom-fitted aligners (made from impressions taken by the dentist) ensure maximum contact between the whitening product, which is applied to the mouth tray and the teeth.
● Custom aligners protect the gums from the whitening gel
● The mild gel minimises tooth sensitivity and gives you more control over the shade of your teeth
