Professional teeth whitening is a quick, non-invasive treatment that allows us to brighten your teeth up to many shades whiter in just one visit. This is a popular cosmetic treatment for patients who wish to improve the appearance of stained or discoloured teeth – or to feel confident and photo-ready for a special event.
Professional teeth whitening/bleaching can be done in-chair or at-home.
The first step of teeth whitening is professional consultation. The dentist will assess the condition of your teeth and gums to ensure this treatment is suitable for you. There’s no need to be too concerned about this process, most healthy adult patients can safely receive teeth whitening treatment.
The treatment process starts with protecting the gums and lips so that only the teeth are exposed during the procedure. Next, the dentist applies a bleaching gel over the teeth and uses a special light device to speed up the whitening process. The procedure is performed in cycles so that your teeth can be whitened to your desired shade. The results are beautifully white teeth!
Plastic whitening trays will be made from models of your teeth. You will then place a special whitening gel in each tray and wear the trays in your mouth for several hours per day. A significant change in tooth colour is usually seen in around four to six weeks.
