Over time, it is normal for teeth to become stained or discoloured from the aging process or from consuming certain foods and drinks. Teeth whitening is one of the most simple and popular cosmetic dental procedures to restore the appearance of affected teeth, enhancing your confidence and self-esteem.
Some of the reasons people whiten their teeth:
Confidence boost Cosmetic enhancement for their smile To eliminate stains from drinking and eating Weddings or special events Smile makeover
There are two main ways to whiten your teeth; you can receive a professional treatment by a dentist, or do it at home with custom trays and a whitening kit.
In-Chair Whitening Take-Home WhiteningPrior to commencing whitening treatment, we will thoroughly assess your teeth and gums to make sure it’s safe to go ahead with the procedure as want to avoid teeth whitening agents going into any existing cavities in the teeth, which can cause discomfort or pain.
We also recommend a professional cleaning to remove any plaque, debris, and stains on your teeth if it hasn’t already been done recently. This is to help you get the most out of your whitening.
The best way to determine if teeth whitening is for you is to have a thorough dental examination to determine the cause of discolouration and also highlight any problem areas that whitening can exacerbate or make worse. After all, there may be an underlying dental problem that needs treatment rather than teeth whitening.
Your dentist will also advise you of the best method and whitening product suited to you. You will be an ideal candidate for teeth whitening if you:
Have healthy gums and teethHave stained or dull teethDon’t experience hypersensitivity in your teethDon’t have dental restorations
The duration of your whitening results is closely tied to your oral hygiene routine. By maintaining excellent at-home oral hygiene habits and scheduling regular professional cleanings, the results from your teeth whitening treatment will last longer!
