Teeth Whitening

Brighter, Whiter Teeth

Teeth whitening has become extremely popular over the past several years. It is a great way to improve your appearance; it is reasonably priced; non-surgical; and non-invasive.

The treatment involves wearing custom made trays which carry the whitening agent. The length of time they are worn daily varies from thirty minutes to overnight. The treatment takes approximately seven to ten days, depending on the shade you require.

Typically, one would expect up to seven shades whiter. Most people are suitable for this treatment, however, you should speak to your Dentist and discuss all options.

Teeth whitening kits from the Dentist produce faster and more effective results because they contain a stronger peroxide-bleaching agent than whitening kits purchased over the counter.

Another benefit of trays and gels from the Dentist is that the trays are custom made and fit your teeth exactly. Over-the-counter trays are generic sized and could allow the bleaching agent to come into contact with your gums, causing irritation.

Zoom Laser Whitening

You are just one hour away from your brightest, whitest smile ever!

Our whitening system is a scientifically advanced tooth whitening procedure which is safe, effective and fast. Your gums and lips will be protected from the bleaching agent to reduce the risk of sensitivity following the procedure. Any sensitivity that does occur usually disappears within 24 hours.

The bleaching agent is applied to each tooth and then exposed to an ultra-violet light which activates the bleaching process. This part of the process is repeated several times to achieve the ultimate result in whitening.

You should consider tooth whitening before you have any dental restoration work so that the colour of Crowns and Veneers that are visible when you smile can be matched to your natural tooth colour after bleaching.

The treatment is suitable for most people and is particularly successful in removing unsightly stains left by smoking, coffee and certain foods. The results will vary for each individual depending on the natural shading of your teeth and the level of discolouration and staining present prior to the procedure.

Teeth Whitening FAQs

Why should I get a Teeth Whitening treatment?

Teeth Whitening is used to fix staining or tooth discolouration on your natural teeth. If you drink coffee, red wine or tea, you may develop staining on your teeth over time. Using tobacco products or smoking, taking some types of medications and dental injuries can cause discolouration. Also, as a patient ages, the enamel will begin to thin, which causes the teeth to look more yellow.

Am I a suitable patient for Teeth Whitening?

In general most people are suitable for a teeth whitening procedure provided they have the majority of their own natural teeth and healthy gums. Teeth that are yellow are more likely to respond to the teeth whitening treatment.

Who is Teeth Whitening not suitable for?

Not everyone is the right candidate for teeth whitening. For example, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should wait to get whitening. People who have dental bridges or crowns may want to talk to their dentist before considering whitening. Children should be at least 16 to get this type of treatment.

How white will my teeth be after the treatment?

Our teeth whitening results over the years generally show patients teeth turning 6 - 8 shades lighter. But this can depend on a few factors including the dentin contained in your teeth, how well you look after your teeth, and disciplined you are with the teeth whitening system we provide.

Is Teeth Whitening harmful to teeth?

All of our teeth whitening treatments are undertaken with the supervision of one of our dentists, so you can be assured that they will only offer the right treatment for you. Additionally the quantity of peroxide containing in our bleaching gels is very low, so will only whiten your teeth and not alter the structure or surface in any way.
