Teeth Whitening for the Beautiful Smile You Deserve
Teeth whitening is one of the easiest ways to help improve a smile; it is affordable for most and can be done safely and quickly with today’s options. That may be why this is one of the most sought-after dental solutions in cosmetic dentistry today.
Teeth Whitening for the Beautiful Smile You Deserve
What Happened to My Teeth?
Teeth naturally dull as we age for many reasons. Foods, beverages and even medications can play a role in discolouring teeth. Sometimes old dental work or trauma will play a role. The right teeth whitening solution is based upon which type of discolouration you have.
Extrinsic Discolouration
This is the most common type of discolouration that affects the outside or external part of the teeth. It takes place when your natural teeth become discoloured due to foods and drinks that stain. Some of these include teas, wine, coffee and foods that may contain turmeric or curry. Smoking also discolours the exterior of the teeth and can result in a yellowed or greyish colour. Fortunately, extrinsic discolouration is quite common, and one can expect good results from teeth whitening treatments within a short time.
Intrinsic Discolouration
Teeth can become discoloured from the inside, which is called intrinsic discolouration. A tooth can change colour from the inside out for numerous reasons, such as genetics, or an old metal filling, which can eventually thin the enamel and allow the darker colour to show through. Tetracycline is a common antibiotic that bonds to calcium from tooth enamel, resulting in discolouration. While this type of discolouration may not respond to whitening solutions that affect the exterior of the teeth, in many cases we can find other solutions to help.
Teeth Whitening Solutions at My Dentist in Alderley
If you are serious about whitening your teeth to brighten your smile, professional teeth whitening solutions are the best answer. Certain over-the-counter products can cause issues like gum and teeth sensitivity, or may simply not work. Many patients are left with no results for their money and time and may be led to believe their teeth are resistant to whitening solutions. But getting your teeth whitened with a professional can make a difference.
Professional teeth whitening has an advantage, with whitening solutions customised for the patients, laser whitening that works in one visit, or customised trays that fit your teeth. Our dental professionals at My Dental in Alderley, Brisbane offer both in-office teeth whitening and customised take-home kits for our patients. After an initial dental examination, we will discuss all of the best options to suit your needs. The following are how they work:
In-Office Teeth Whitening
takes place in one, 90-minute dental visit. We use the Zoom lamp with advanced blue LED light technology that accelerates the bleaching process while you wait. The treatment allows oxygen to enter your teeth enamel and dentin to gently whiten all your teeth at once, which is quicker than laser whitening. And it does this while filtering out infrared light, meaning that less heat is needed, so the tooth structure remains unchanged. You will enjoy a beautiful smile as your teeth continue to whiten for several days after your initial appointment.
At-Home Teeth Whitening is suitable for those who are too busy for the 90-minute appointment, as well as for those who wish to extend the results of the in-office treatment. It is also an option for those who prefer a slower, gentler method of whitening their teeth. During an initial consultation with our dentist, an impression will be made of your teeth, which will be used to create your custom trays. When they are ready, you pick them up along with your custom whitening gel and instructions and your teeth will be whiter in 2 weeks.
Getting Ready for Your Brighter Smile
If you would like to make the most of your teeth whitening treatment, simply remember to brush your teeth at least twice each day and floss regularly. Brush and clean the gumline to ensure there is no buildup on the day of the treatment, or when you receive your kit. Some patients prefer to take the extra step and have their teeth professionally cleaned and scaled before the teeth whitening treatment, just to make sure there is no tartar or plaque buildup. The following steps will help you prepare:
Schedule an office visit for a comprehensive examination and professional cleaning
Brush with a desensitising toothpaste in the days leading up to your appointment (call your dentist for advice, if you are unsure which toothpaste to use)
Discuss the whitening options with your dentist and choose the best shade for your teeth
Now you are ready to have impressions created for your take-home kit or schedule the in-office teeth whitening treatment
Caring for Your Bright Smile
Once you have taken the steps and achieved your beautiful, bright, new smile, you definitely want to make sure your teeth stay white for a long time. Being proactive can help ensure you get the best results that last.
