Teeth Whitening
Are you unhappy with the colour of your teeth?
Tooth discolouration can happen for many reasons, including smoking, tobacco use, and the consumption of certain foods and beverages. Additionally, teeth naturally darken with age.
A professional whitening treatment can effectively reverse these effects, helping you achieve a brighter, more aesthetically pleasing smile.
While over-the-counter whitening products are widely available, professional treatments are typically safer and more effective. Generic applicator trays found in chemist kits are designed to be “one size fits all,” which can cause discomfort and are a poor fit. This may lead to whitening gels leaking onto gums and other soft tissues, potentially causing irritation or damage.
Professional whitening, on the other hand, is tailored to your specific needs and overseen by a qualified dental practitioner, reducing the risk of adverse effects and improving results.
For these reasons, you may want to choose professional whitening instead. The whitening service provided by the team at Griffith Street Family Dental may consist of two phases – an in-chair whitening session and a customised at-home kit and care plan.
In-Chair Whitening
Your dental practitioner will use a light activated whitening gel. The gums are first isolated then the whitening gel is applied. A light activates the gel for 15 minutes. This process is repeated three to four times as required. This process can dramatically lighten your teeth in just one visit.
At-Home Whitening
Prefer the flexibility of whitening at your own pace? We can provide a custom at-home whitening kit. Your trays will be uniquely crafted for a perfect fit, and the whitening gel will be selected to suit your individual requirements. You'll receive detailed instructions to ensure safe and effective use.
We recommend a follow-up visit to monitor your progress and ensure optimal results.
Once teeth are whitened your 6 monthly check up and cleans are very important to keep that white smile.
