When you look in the mirror and smile, do you like what you see? Or are your teeth discoloured from age or too many cuppas, and you’d like to whiten and brighten them? If so, our dental clinic offers professional teeth whitening services that can restore your smile’s brilliance.
The Importance of a Professional Clinical Assessment
The first step in your teeth whitening journey is a professional clinical assessment to see if you’re a good candidate for teeth whitening. We’ll check your teeth and gums to ensure they’re healthy.
Teeth whitening may be a good option if you’re not trying to whiten restorations, you practise good oral hygiene, you’re at least 16 years old and you’re not pregnant.
Personalised Treatment vs. Over-the-Counter Options
Once we’ve determined your candidacy, we’ll personalise a treatment plan with your goals in mind. We’ll discuss your professional whitening options and explain our in-office and take-home treatments.
Our whitening systems use professional-strength whitening gel, and we create custom trays that fit snugly over your teeth. Over-the-counter options are “one size fits all,” making them less safe and effective.
Understanding the Risks of Non-Professional Whitening
It’s important to understand the risks of trusting over-the-counter whitening products.
Some of the potential problems that could occur are:
- Sensitivity and pain
- Gum irritation
- Enamel erosion
- Uneven results
How Professional Supervision Manages Tooth Sensitivity
Our dental team monitors your whitening process and is available to answer any questions you have about your treatment.
To help you avoid sensitivity issues, we carefully assess your oral health before treatment, checking for potentially problematic areas. We also create custom whitening trays so the whitening gel has less chance of getting on your gum tissue.
Achieving Natural-Looking Results Through Tailored Care
Our goal is for your smile to look as beautiful and natural as possible. We’ll use a shade guide to help you decide what you want your teeth to look like after you complete your whitening treatment.
We’re committed to providing tailored care to every patient who walks through our doors.
