Because the surface of a tooth is porous, it’s easy for the tannins contained within stain-inducing foods or beverages to penetrate. This, coinciding with the natural darkening of teeth as we age, can make our smile appear both discoloured and jaded.
Teeth whitening, also known as teeth-bleaching, has the ability to penetrate the surface of the tooth and break up or ‘lift’ any staining, resulting in a whiter brighter smile.
In the case of chair-side teeth whitening, residents in Sunshine Coast may be surprised to know that teeth can be whitened in as little as one hour and offers the ideal ‘pick me up’ just before an important social occasion.
Professional take-home kits supplied by our teeth whitening dentist will take longer because they use a lesser strength hydrogen peroxide (bleaching ingredient). As a result, patients can expect take-home teeth whitening treatments to take between 10-14 days.
Residents located in and around Sunshine Coast can choose from either Zoom or Opalescence whitening techniques. Both are proven brands which are known to be safe and are specially formulated to protect against tooth sensitivity.
Before going ahead with any form of professional whitening we ask patients visiting us to undergo an initial consultation. Our highly skilled team of dentists and hygienists will assess the health of your teeth and gums and from this, determine the best form of teeth whitening treatment for you. Should we find any signs of cavities or gum disease then we will need to treat these problems first.
For chair-side treatment, residents in and around Nambour, Sunshine Coast can expect the whole procedure to take around one hour. This includes approximately fifteen minutes of preparation including gel application and three fifteen-minute teeth whitening sessions to ensure the desired level of whiteness is reached. Treatment is both comfortable and gentle.
Alternatively, customised teeth whitening in Nambour Dental Practice involves bespoke trays made to fit your teeth which are filled with whitening gel. These are then worn over the teeth either at night or during the day for the duration of the treatment.
