IN CHAIR TEETH WHITENING

In-chair teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses professional-strength bleaching agents to remove stains and discoloration from teeth. The treatment is performed by a qualified Melbourne University Graduate Oral Health Therapist with over 13 years in experience, and typically takes around one to two hours to complete. We use dentist quality products much safer and more effective than what is available to beauticians and dental nurses.

During the procedure, a protective barrier is applied to the gums and lips to ensure comfort and prevent irritation. Professional strength teeth whitening gel is applied to the teeth carefully and using techniques to ensure an even application. A state of the are LED light is used to activate the whitening gel and speed up the whitening process. The whitening gel is typically applied to your teeth for 2-4 cycles and changed in between so the gel is active and fresh before finally being rinsed off.

In-chair teeth whitening is considered to be a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of stained or discoloured teeth mainly with extrinsic staining. However, it is not recommended for everyone. People with gum disease, tooth decay, or other dental issues may not be good candidates for the procedure. Additionally, some individuals may experience mild and usually temporary sensitivity or discomfort during or after the treatment.

Overall, in-chair teeth whitening can be a great option for people who want a quick and dramatic improvement in the colour of their teeth. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with one of our qualified dental professionals before deciding to undergo treatment.

TAKE HOME WHITENING KITS

A take-home teeth whitening kit is a dental product that allows you to whiten your teeth from the comfort of your own home. These kits come with custom trays, whitening gel, and instructions for use.

The process involves filling the custom-fitted trays with the whitening gel and wearing them for a specified amount of time, typically for several hours each day over a period of 1-2 weeks. The whitening gel typically contains hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide at effective levels, which helps to remove stains and discoloration from the teeth.

Take-home teeth whitening kits are a popular option for people who want to whiten their teeth but prefer to avoid the higher costs of professional teeth whitening treatments. It is important to note that these kits may not be as instantly effective as in-office treatments but do provide similar results over time. Additionally, it's crucial to follow the instructions carefully and avoid overuse or misuse of the product to prevent damage to the teeth or gums.

It's always recommended to consult with your dentist our our Oral Health Therapist before starting any teeth whitening treatment to ensure it's safe for your individual dental needs.
