Teeth Whitening

With the growing popularity of over-the-counter teeth whitening kits and gels, it may be tempting to try them out. However, these products may not be effective or safe for your tooth enamel. If you're buying a teeth whitening system from anyone that is not a dental health professional, the best case scenario is that it won't work very well. The worst case is that it causes damage to your teeth and gums.

As a more reliable and popular cosmetic treatment, we recommend professional teeth whitening to ensure spectacular results. Contact us to learn more about our safe and effective teeth whitening options.

The duration of teeth whitening results will vary depending on the individual's habits and the type of whitening treatment used. Generally, the results of teeth whitening can last anywhere from a few months to up to three years. However, lifestyle habits, such as smoking or drinking coffee or red wine, can cause teeth to become discoloured again more quickly.

Here are some tips on how to care for your teeth after whitening to help maintain the results:

  1. Avoid foods and drinks that can stain your teeth: Certain foods and drinks, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and berries, can cause teeth to become discoloured. Limiting consumption or rinsing your mouth with water after consuming them can help preserve your whitened teeth.
  2. Practice good oral hygiene: brush your teeth twice a day and floss each day to help remove surface stains and prevent discoloration.
  3. Consider touch-up treatments: Depending on the type of whitening treatment used, touch-up treatments may be necessary to maintain the results. Consult with your dentist to determine the best course of action.
  4. Visit your dentist regularly: Regular dental check-ups and cleanings can help keep your teeth healthy and identify any potential issues that could affect the results of teeth whitening.

Overall, taking care of your teeth after whitening can help prolong the results and keep your smile looking bright and healthy.

It's important to have clean teeth before undergoing a teeth whitening treatment to achieve optimal results. When plaque or calculus build-up is present on your teeth, the whitening solution may not be able to penetrate your enamel effectively, leading to unsatisfactory outcomes.

To ensure a successful teeth whitening treatment, we recommend scheduling a professional teeth cleaning within three months before the procedure. If this isn't feasible, we can stretch it to six months. However, if it has been longer since your last dental check-up and cleaning, we advise visiting us before your teeth whitening appointment to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and ready for treatment.

Nowadays, there's no need to settle for a smile that doesn't make you happy. No matter if it's caused by tooth discoloration or other cosmetic issues, we're here to assist you. At our clinic, we take pleasure in making our patients feel self-assured with a more radiant, brighter smile.

Teeth whitening is an excellent option for anyone seeking to enhance their appearance before a significant event such as a job interview or a family gathering. Moreover, it's also an excellent method to give your smile a cosmetic enhancement just because you deserve it.

As we age, our teeth tend to darken and become discoloured due to various factors, including lifestyle choices such as tobacco use and consumption of brightly coloured foods and drinks.

But there's no need to avoid your favourite foods and beverages. With professional teeth whitening services available in our North Brisbane clinic, you can effectively treat tooth stains and discolouration and regain a brighter, more confident smile.
