Brighten Your Smile with Teeth Whitening Services in Mt Eliza, VIC
Why Do You Need to Whiten Your Teeth?
Discolouration occurs due to various factors such as poor oral hygiene, tetracycline-based medication, trauma to the tooth, smoking, age or excessive consumption of black coffee, tea or red wine. There is an accumulation of excessive chromogenic pigment resulting in the tooth being discoloured.
What Is Involved?
Tooth whitening involves the use of a bleaching gel, either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, to lighten the teeth. The application of gel initiates a chemical oxidation reaction that causes the breakdown of discolouring pigments, resulting in the lightening of the teeth.
How Can It Be Achieved?
This can be done either in a chair/in the office or by a take-home kit. The in-chair procedure involves obtaining an initial shade, isolating the teeth and protecting the soft tissues and then generally 3 applications of the bleaching gel. A blue light is used to concentrate the effects of the gel. The advantage of this technique is that in a majority of patients tooth whitening is obtained within the hour.
When Can Tooth Whitening Be Done?
It’s advisable to have it done after an exam and clean appointment to have impactful results
It’s also an easy process and an affordable method for having your teeth looking their best prior to an upcoming event.
Every patient is carefully evaluated prior to being provided an option that suits their requirements and pocket.
