FAQ
Who is teeth whitening suitable for?
At least 90% of patients see success from teeth whitening. If your teeth are discoloured, they can nearly always be lightened to another shade. If you have overly sensitive teeth, periodontal disease, or worn enamel, Dr Tony may advise against whitening until your dental problems are addressed.
Should I choose in-office or take-home whitening?
Our recommendations to you will depend on what your goals are. If you have an upcoming wedding, date or job interview and want to see your results beforehand, a single appointment for whitening is typically most appropriate. If you aren’t in a hurry, however, or don’t want to come to the office for your appointment, you may prefer to have a take-home whitening kit. We’ll discuss which is best for you at your consultation.
Which form of whitening is most impactful?
If you want to maximise the effects of teeth whitening, we’ll likely recommend that you have an in-chair whitening procedure. With Zoom whitening, your teeth can be whitened by up to eight shades, making a big difference in how your smile looks.
How long will the results last?
If you lessen your consumption of discolouring agents such as coffee, tea, red wine and cigarettes, your results will last longer. The average treatment lasts for up to about two years. You can choose at-home treatments to refresh your results every six months.
Please keep in mind that your results may differ from someone else’s whitening outcomes. It will depend heavily on your lifestyle and the above-mentioned factors.
What post-treatment care do you recommend?
After your whitening is completed, good oral hygiene habits should be maintained for best results. Brushing twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush, flossing once per day and having regular dental checkups will help you keep your bright smile.
Is it safe to have your teeth whitened?
Your safety and comfort are of the utmost importance to us. We would never recommend any products or treatments that we feel aren’t right for you. Our professional-grade whitening is supervised by our experienced team to ensure that everything is done according to product guidelines and our high standard of care.
Am I a candidate for teeth whitening?
Can I repeat teeth whitening when the results start to fade?
The Importance of a Checkup First
Before you whiten your teeth, it’s important to ensure they’re healthy and free of any decay, and that your enamel is strong enough for teeth whitening.
