Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening

A bright, white smile is an attractive feature that can help you look and feel confident. If you’ve been dreaming of a whiter smile, teeth whitening is a great option. It can even be carried out under sleep dentistry if you’re a nervous patient.

What Is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to lighten the colour of your teeth, removing stains and discolouration. It’s one of the most popular and effective ways to enhance your smile without invasive treatments.

Is it right for me?

Teeth whitening is ideal for people with healthy teeth and gums who want to enhance their smile. It’s important to note that whitening may not work on dental restorations like crowns or veneers. Consulting with your dentist will help decide on the best approach for your specific needs and ensure you receive safe and effective treatment.

Why Do Teeth Get Stained?

Over time, teeth can become stained due to several factors, including diet, smoking, aging, genetics, medication, and poor dental hygiene. Consuming too much coffee, tea, and red wine can lead to discoloration, while tobacco use is a common cause of yellowed teeth. As we age, tooth enamel wears down, revealing the yellowish dentin beneath, and some people naturally have yellowish teeth due to genetics. Certain medications, including some antibiotics and drugs for high blood pressure, can also cause teeth to yellow. Inadequate brushing and flossing can allow plaque build-up, which further contributes to discoloration.

Different Teeth Whitening Methods

Explore the different ways to a dazzling smile.

In-Chair Whitening

Here, your dentist will apply a high-concentration bleaching gel to your teeth, sometimes using a laser or light to enhance the process. The procedure typically takes about an hour, and you can expect to leave the surgery with noticeably whiter teeth.

At-Home Whitening Kits

If you'd prefer to whiten your teeth at home, custom-fit trays provided by your dentist can be a great option. These trays are designed to fit your mouth perfectly. They are filled with a lower-concentration bleaching gel and worn for a certain period each day over a few weeks to achieve a smile that’s several shades whiter.

The Most Relaxing Way to a Brighter Smile

At Sleep Dentistry Melbourne, we offer Zoom! White Speed teeth whitening, which can lighten teeth up to eight shades in only 45 minutes. We also offer Zoom! take-home kits to lighten teeth up to six shades in just a few weeks in the privacy of your own home.

If you're ready to transform your smile, schedule a consultation with our experienced dental team or reach out to us for more information. We'll assess your teeth and discuss the best whitening options for you. Our goal is to help you achieve the brilliant smile you deserve with personalised care and attention.
