Are you unsatisfied with the colour of your teeth?
Stains occur for many reasons, including smoking or tobacco use. Your teeth can also become stained by regularly eating certain foods and beverages. Plus, teeth naturally start to darken as you age.
Choosing a professional whitening treatment can reverse the effects of tooth staining for a more aesthetically pleasing smile. At Casuarina Dental, we offer teeth whitening services for patients throughout Casuarina and surrounds.
There are many whitening treatments readily available for purchase; however, professional whitening is generally safer and more effective. Applicator trays in chemist shop kits are intended to be “one size fits all” which can result in them fitting uncomfortably in your mouth since they aren’t designed specifically for your teeth. Whitening gels included with this type of product can sometimes be too abrasive or can leak because of ill-fitting trays, leading to gum and other soft tissue irritation.
For these reasons, you may want to choose professional whitening instead. The whitening service provided by our dentist usually consists of two phases—an in-office whitening session and a customised at-home kit and care plan.
Your dentist will choose whitening gel in the appropriate strength for your needs while accounting for factors like your level of sensitivity and your whitening goals. This gel is typically applied using custom-made applicator trays for maximum comfort and also to protect the tissues in your mouth from becoming irritated by the whitening gel. Teeth can be lightened dramatically in only one session.
ZOOM! Laser Teeth Whitening
As one of the most trusted treatments offered by laser teeth whitening professionals, ZOOM! Teeth Whitening is an excellent solution for a brighter smile. The procedure is quick, safe and effective—talk to us about achieving that brighter and whiter smile you’ve been dreaming about.
Complete in just one hour, the whole process is very simple. All you need to do is sit back and relax while our professional teeth whitening team completes the treatment.
To ensure your teeth remain whiter for longer, we’ll also provide you with a take-home top-up tray.
Prior to whitening, your dentist will take some moulds of your teeth to fabricate trays for you as part of your take home kit. Your dentist will then place a few things in your mouth to carefully protect your gums, lips and cheeks.
The whitening works through a hydrogen peroxide gel which breaks down the stains on your teeth; a process accelerated by the Philips Zoom! White Speed Whitening LED Accelerator light. Through this process of three or four 15-minute cycles, your teeth will be visibly whiter (up to eight shades) within a single day.
At-Home Whitening
If you prefer to whiten your teeth at your own convenience, your dentist may provide you with a custom at-home whitening kit. Your applicator trays will be customised just for you, and the strength of the whitening gel will be chosen to meet your needs. You will be given specific instructions on how to use it safely.
After this kind of whitening treatment, you will typically be asked to schedule a follow-up visit at our clinic to monitor your progress.
Are you looking forward to a whiter smile? Contact your dentist to find out more about whitening services. We also offer a range of cosmetic dentistry services, including smile makeovers.
Whitening products available for purchase in shops are designed to be “one size fits all” which often translates to “one size fits none”. The strength of the whitening product is much lower than what you can get in a professional kit, meaning that you must use the product for a longer period of time and are still unlikely to get the results you can find in a professional product. Additionally, your results are not being monitored by the dentist you know and trust.
