Tooth Whitening
When you’re looking for safe and effective tooth whitening in Brisbane, our experienced dentist and dental assistants have your back. With the help of our step-by-step teeth whitening plans customised to your needs, your teeth will be whitened in a safe and gentle way. It all starts with a tooth whitening consultation at our Brisbane City dentist clinic, where we give you honest advice on how to reach the results you want.
Safe and easy take-home tooth whitening
Your tooth whitening journey with us begins with a consultation and a dental check-up. We take pride in offering honest advice, so you know what level of results can be achieved before deciding on any treatment.
What happens at your tooth whitening appointment
In the initial dental examination and consultation appointment, we make sure your teeth and gums are healthy and suitable for tooth whitening. Our experienced Brisbane dentists will map out a step-by-step plan customised to your needs. We take into consideration all aspects of your dental health, including your dental health history, tooth sensitivity and the condition of your gums. If tooth whitening is deemed as the best choice for you, scans of your teeth will be taken and these sent to our local Brisbane dental lab for contstruction of your customised whitening trays.
At a further appointemnt, you will receive your take-home tooth whitening kit with custom-made whitening trays and tooth whitening gel. Our professional dentist will chose the type of whitening gel that suits you best, from overnight treatments to half an hour a day. They will show you how to use your new tooth whitening kit.
Anything that is not tooth will not whiten with the treatment, so if you have dental crowns or veneers, you may need to change them to match your new whiter smile. Every step to your complete, white smile will be mapped out at your initial consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use a tooth whitening kit bought online?
When buying tooth whitening products online, you never really know what you’re getting. Many of the products out there don’t live up to their marketing promises, and in the worst-case scenario, could cause further health issues. A professional dentist will check your teeth and mouth to ensure it’s safe to apply the tooth whitening product. Planning your tooth whitening with our qualified Brisbane City dentist means you can have confidence you’re getting a safe and effective product.
I have sensitive teeth. Can I still do teeth whitening?
This is something we discuss with every patient in the initial consultation to ensure the process is as comfortable as possible. If you have sensitive teeth, we can adjust the strength of the whitening gel. This way, the treatment will be gentler and reduce the risk of tooth sensitivity.
I have dental crowns/veneers. Can I still do tooth whitening?
Anything that is not tooth will not whiten with the whitening gel. However, when you come in for your initial consult, we can book you in to get any dental crowns or veneers changed to match your new, white smile.
Will the teeth whitening work?
The results will vary depending on the colour of your teeth at the start. We always offer our honest advice to set realistic expectations. In some cases, dental veneers might be a preferable choice of treatment over teeth whitening.
How long will it take to whiten my teeth?
This will depend on the condition and sensitivity of your teeth, as well as your desired results. However, on average the whitening process will take around 2 weeks to work.
How can I ensure I'll get the best results?
Teeth covered in calculus and plaque won’t whiten effectively. We always start out by cleaning up your teeth to prepare for the at-home treatment.
During the at-home treatment, make sure to brush and floss your teeth before putting your trays in. Also, follow the instructions of your dentist. Don’t put in extra gel or leave it in longer! This could damage your teeth and gums. Remember not to eat or drink anything while the gel is in your mouth and avoid heavily coloured foods and drinks during the entire treatment period.
What teeth whitening prosucts do you use?
We use the newest teeth whitening products from regulated dental suppliers. They differ from products available online or at the pharmacy as they are strictly regulated by safety guidelines. You’ll also get custom-fitted trays that ensure the tooth whitening gel gets close to the teeth. This makes the treatment more effective and protects your gums.
How tooth whitening works
Tooth whitening products work by removing deep stains from within the tooth enamel. Think of your enamel like porous pumice stone, and within those little pores stains can get in. Some stains are deeper than others, and therefore results can vary from person to person. In some instances, stains may be so deep that whitening won’t work. In these instances, alternatives like dental veneers may be recommended.
Tooth whitening planned with a qualified dentist is a safe and gentle way to lighten the teeth. Changes to the tooth enamel are not permanent, and treatment times can vary depending on the product used and the starting colour of the teeth.
