If you’ve noticed your teeth looking a little discoloured, you’re not alone. Over time, it’s common for teeth to pick up stains from things like coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking. Some people also naturally have darker enamel, or may have discolouration from medication or injury. Professional teeth whitening is a treatment option that may help reduce the appearance of some types of tooth discolouration.
Before whitening treatment, our team will assess the teeth to understand the type of staining you have. This helps determine whether whitening is appropriate for you and what outcomes may be expected. There are two main options available for tooth whitening - in the chair under the supervision of a dental practitioner or at home, using a custom made whitening kit.
At home whitening involves fabrication of a custom-made tray that is created to fit your teeth closely and comfortably. This tray holds the whitening gel in place placing a small amount of the bleaching gel into the tray and wearing it for a designated amount of time or overnight. Whitening results can vary from person to person depending on natural tooth shade and the depth of the stains.
If you are considering teeth whitening, we can discuss the options with you and explain how each treatment may affect the appearance of your teeth, so you can make an informed choice.
Teeth whitening is generally safe when carried out under professional supervision, but there are potential risks. These may include temporary tooth sensitivity, gum irritation from the whitening gel, or uneven results in some cases. Your dentist will review your individual situation, explain these risks, and help you decide whether whitening is suitable for you.
