Teeth Whitening

There are 2 types of teeth whitening:

1.      Laser ‘Zoom’ Teeth Whitening

2.      Home Teeth Whitening

 Zoom Teeth Whitening

This is done in office.  A procedure that takes about 1 hour, where teeth whitening gel is placed on the teeth and the special ‘zoom’ laser light is placed near your teeth to catalyse the reaction so that is much quicker and you have lovely white teeth in an hour!

Home Teeth Whitening

Special accurate impressions are taken of your teeth and custom trays are made into which teeth whitening gel is placed and worn for about one hour a day.  Usually within 2 weeks you have a nice white smile. 

To achieve the best teeth whitening result a combination of laser and home whitening is recommended.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Teeth whitening has been researched for over 20 years and there are no adverse reactions to it.  Some people may experience transient sensitivity while they are teeth whitening but this is only temporary and goes back to normal.

Can anyone have teeth whitening?

Anyone can have teeth whitening unless you are pregnant or have all dental crowns, or veneers as porcelain will not whiten with teeth whitening. 

Is there anything to be aware of when teeth whitening?

The most important factor when considering teeth whitening is to make sure you go to a qualified cosmetic dentist  who can appropriately supervise your teeth whitening procedure.  Avoid beauty salon teeth whitening if there is no dentist there.
