1- Different Options for Teeth Whitening at Dentists
Doctors in Geelong - Most of us are blessed with a bright white smile,
but over time it is common for our teeth to lose
their brightness and shine, becoming dull and
discoloured. There are many reasons behind this
change, such as inadequate oral hygiene,
irregular dental visits, diet high consumption
of coffee, tea and certain foods, lifestyle
factors such as smoking and lastly wear due to
aging. Regardless of the cause, having
discoloured teeth can really affect ones
confidence and in the image conscious era that we
now live in, it is no surprise that Teeth
Whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic
procedures in dentistry today. - The Many Different Options for a Brighter Smile
- There are many options now available for
whitening teeth, from over-the-counter products
to professional teeth whitening at dental
clinics in Geelong. The primary the most common
whitening agents used are hydrogen peroxide or
carbamide peroxide, with the differences being
in the concentration of the product, how it us
used and the cost. - Below are some of the most common options
available over the counter and at Dentists
Doctors. - Teeth Whitening Toothpastes
- Regarded as the easiest and most accessible teeth
whitening option, teeth whitening toothpastes
contain mild abrasives that manually remove light
surface stains on teeth. Some of these
toothpastes also have special polishing agents
that are intended to leave teeth looking
brighter. - Our Verdict
- As simple as this option is, it can be effective
only for very mild stains. They do not
whiten/bleach your teeth and start showing
results only with regular usage. If you are
looking for a dramatic transformation or have
sensitive teeth, this option is not recommended
for you. - Teeth Whitening Strips
2- You may find these available at your local
supermarket or pharmacist. They are an
affordable, convenient, and on-the-go alternative
for teeth whitening. Being flexible, they can
easily sit over the upper and lower rows of your
teeth. Depending upon the strength of the
whitening agent in the strip, it could take a few
days or a week to show results. - Our Verdict
- Whitening strips are affordable and work well for
mild to moderate stains. However, the results
are mild and vary significantly. As being an
over-the-counter product, the concentration of
the whitening agent is very low. - Professional (In-Office) Teeth Whitening
- Professional in-chair whitening is by far one of
the most popular cosmetic dental treatments at
Dentists Doctors in Geelong. One of our dental
clinicians will apply a high concentration of
hydrogen peroxide on your teeth whilst you are
seated in the dental chair. The entire process
takes about 45-60 minutes, and is a relatively
easy procedure, with gums, lips and areas of
recession protected before you start treatment. - It is highly recommended to have a professional
dental exam and clean completed prior to your in
chair teeth whitening session to achieve the best
results. - Our Verdict
- By far the safest and most efficient method for
teeth whitening available in Geelong today. The
best part with professional in-chair teeth
whitening is the immediate and noticeable
results achieved in just one sitting! - Custom Take-Home Whitening Trays
- An option which can be used on its own or in
conjunction with a professional in-chair teeth
whitening session. A convenient and effective
method of teeth whitening with different options
with regards to the concentration of the
whitening product and type of whitening agent
used this is particularly useful for
individuals with sensitive teeth. As they are
customized to the patient, both the fit and the
results are better than those available in
generic whitening trays.
