Benefits of Professional Whitening

An array of whitening toothpastes and strips are on the market these days but these don’t yield the excellent results that professional whitening treatments do. Your dentist will first perform an oral exam to determine if your mouth is healthy before beginning the whitening process.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kits

If you prefer to whiten your teeth from the comfort of home, we can provide you with custom whitening trays that fit securely over your teeth so you can enjoy the best whitening results possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wondering if teeth whitening in Broadmeadow is for you? We’d love to help you find out. If you have questions not answered bellow, feel free to give our practice a call straightaway.

What is professional teeth whitening, and how does it work?

Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses specialised products and equipment to bleach teeth. It typically involves the application of a whitening gel that contains hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which breaks down stains on the enamel.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Yes, when performed by a qualified dentist or dental professional, like our team members, teeth whitening is generally considered safe. Our team will assess your dental health and ensure that you are a suitable candidate for the procedure before moving forward. Here, we always keep your best interest at heart.

How long does the teeth whitening process take?

In-chair teeth whitening usually takes about 60-90 minutes, while take-home kits may require several weeks of daily or nightly use to achieve desired results.

How many shades whiter can I expect my teeth to become?

The degree and shade of whitening varies from person to person, but you can typically expect your teeth to become several shades whiter in just one visit to our practice. After we evaluate you, we’ll have a better idea and can provide you with an accurate estimate.

Is teeth whitening painful or uncomfortable?

Some people may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation during or after the procedure, but this usually subsides within a few days. Typically, patients do not have complaints about at-home whitening, which is gentler and can be done from the comfort of your own sofa.

How long do the whitening results last?

The duration of whitening results varies depending on your habits. Avoiding stain-causing foods and beverages and maintaining good oral hygiene can help prolong the effects. Touch-up treatments may also be necessary over time.

Does dental insurance cover teeth whitening?

Not all health fund providers cover cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening. You’ll need to check with your specific health fund provider for details, or simply call us and we’re happy to check your benefits for you.

Are there any side effects of teeth whitening?

Temporary side effects may include tooth sensitivity and gum irritation, but these are generally mild and short-lived. We’ll happily provide you with tips and tricks for managing any discomfort.

Who is a suitable candidate for teeth whitening?

Most people with healthy teeth and gums are candidates for teeth whitening. However, individuals with certain dental conditions or a history of tooth sensitivity may not be ideal candidates.

Always consult with your dentist for personalized information and recommendations regarding teeth whitening treatments. A checkup and clean is recommended prior to whitening for optimal results. Other cosmetic options, like veneers and crowns, may be better options for patients with more severe damage to their smile.
