Teeth Whitening in Aspley

Why Should I Whiten My Teeth?

Professional teeth whitening treatment is a safe and effective process to brighten your smile. The effects of time and lifestyle choices can all impact the colour and vibrancy of your smile. These are most commonly attributed to the staining agents in food, beverages and tobacco. If you often consume dark beverages such as coffee, red wine or carbonated beverages, your tooth enamel has likely been affected and discoloured to a degree. Smoking is also a leading factor that causes discolouration and dental stains.

In-office Teeth Whitening

Smile Central in-office whitening treatment is administered by our oral health therapist. The process is easy and minimally invasive, clinically proven safe and effective. Dr Lauf (Dentist) and the Smile Central team will talk you through the entire teeth whitening process, results and aftercare. This method is the quickest and longest-lasting method for whitening, as we use products and methods which are not available for at-home treatment.

At-home Teeth Whitening

Alternatively, Smile Central offers at-home whitening options which consist of a custom-made tray and effective whitening gel. In the comfort of your home, you simply place a small amount of teeth whitening gel into a custom made dental tray so that it’s evenly dispersed. The tray will need to be worn for short amounts of time over a number of days until desired results are achieved.

During the time you wear the whitening tray; the gel ingredients activate and bleach your teeth leaving a lighter and whiter appearance. This method can achieve similar results to in-office whitening but in a longer period of time. We often recommend combining the two methods to ensure the longevity of your white smile. Take home whitening kits do not include products of the same strength as in-office whitening, however, it is significantly more effective than DIY off the shelf whitening products.

Maintenance Tips

For the most effective teeth whitening results, we advise patients to limit foods and drinks that can stain your brightened smile-especially in the first few days after a whitening treatment. We also promote having a general dental check-up and thorough professional clean two weeks prior to any whitening procedure to maximise the effects and ensure your teeth and gums are healthy, first and foremost.

Any invasive or surgical procedure may carry risks. Before moving forward, it is recommended that you seek a second opinion from an appropriately licensed medical professional.
