Teeth Whitening Croydon

Tooth Whitening treatment is the use of bleaching agents to lighten the color of teeth that have not responded sufficiently to professional cleaning. Tooth discoloration occurs for a variety of reasons:

• Surface stains due to lifestyle (smoking, coffee, tea & red wine)
• Age – teeth naturally darken over time
• Poor oral hygiene
• Certain medications

It is important to note however that not everyone is suitable for tooth whitening. Factors contributing to this are:

1. Tooth sensitivity
2. Defective or absent tooth enamel
3. Gum disease
4. Presence of dentures
5. Dental implants
6. Crowns/Veneers or fillings
7. Pregnancy or Breast feeding

At Maroondah Dental Care, we offer several types of teeth whitening treatments to suit your needs:

✔ Take Home Kit

Our most popular option as you are in control of achieving the desirable shade of whiter teeth.

In this option; we take measurements of your teeth and custom trays are fabricated. You are given these along with syringes filled with teeth whitening gel containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. These active ingredients help to break down stains and lighten your teeth.

This teeth whitening procedure usually takes 2 weeks to complete; however the amount of time used to bleach after this is left up to the patient; some need less time, others a longer period of time.

✔ In-Surgery Bleaching (In-Chair Teeth Whitening)

For those who want immediate results, in-chair teeth whitening is a fantastic option. Main advantage is that you walk away out of our surgery with a brighter smile than you walked in with.

Procedure takes just over an hour. The combinations of high intensity light and chemicals accelerate the process. Not suitable for patients who are already sensitive. A full assessment is done to ensure that professional teeth whitening is the right choice for you.

✔ Internal Bleaching

Most common case for this treatment is for discolored single tooth after Root Canal Treatment. The whitening process involves placing a whitening treatment inside the tooth and covering it up. The process may need multiple visits as the tooth whitening products are topped up until the desired shade is achieved. Once desired shade is achieved, the bleaching agent is removed and the tooth filled up.
