Teeth Whitening

In today's world, there is no reason to put up with a smile you're unhappy with. Whether it's tooth stains or other cosmetic concerns, we can help. And we love helping our patients feel confident with a whiter, brighter smile.

Professional teeth whitening in Wooloowin is an excellent choice before a job interview or family reunion. But it is also a great way to give your smile an aesthetic boost just because.

What Types of Professional Teeth Whitening Do You Offer?

These days there are seemingly limitless teeth whitening options on the market. The key is to find a delivery system that is safe and effective. If you're after this, you've come to the right place. We offer various modes of teeth whitening.

Opalescence Whitening Strips

These strips are an economical way to brighten your teeth subtly. They are safe, and we can show you how to use them at home. However, as they're not custom-made for your teeth, you need to be mindful that the bleaching solution stays on your teeth and doesn't end up on your gums. If you do have an accident and end up with solution on your gums or tongue, rest assured there is no permanent damage done, just some minor discomfort for a day or so.

As these strips are not custom-made for you, the whitening gel may not be evenly distributed over all tooth surfaces. To get the most out of your whitening strips, it's best to avoid coloured foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, soy sauce, red wine, cola and curry while you're whitening your teeth.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kits in North Brisbane 

This is a convenient way to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home. We take a digital teeth scan, then manufacture a set of customised whitening trays for you. You receive these trays with a series of our whitening gel syringes. One of our team members will show you how to pop the gel into the trays and place these over your teeth for comfortable, easy whitening.

As these trays are custom-made for you, the gel will evenly disperse over all surfaces of your teeth. Wearing these trays for thirty minutes daily is essential to be the most effective. It's also ideal (though not compulsory!) to steer clear of coffee, tea, soy sauce, red wine, cola and curry during the two weeks of whitening.

Zoom! In-Office Teeth Whitening in Wooloowin, QLD

If you're after maximum convenience and minimal effort, then this is the option for you. With Phillips Zoom teeth whitening, you don't have to do anything at home. At all. You come in to see us, and less than two hours later, you walk out with whiter teeth. The solution used during this procedure is highly concentrated and light-activated, so it works quickly.

With this particular whitening treatment, we recommend having only white or clear foods and drinks for the remainder of the day. This will ensure a whiter, brighter result. To ensure you remain comfortable during this treatment, you'll have a neck pillow and blanket (if you like), and you can choose something to watch on youtube or Netflix.

Do I Need Teeth Clean Before Teeth Whitening?

If there is plaque or calculus buildup on your teeth, the whitening solution cannot be absorbed effectively into your enamel, leaving you with a disappointing result. The best way to ensure a successful whitening treatment is to start with clean teeth.

We recommend doing a whitening treatment within three months of professionally cleaning your teeth. If this is impossible, we can stretch it to six months. However, if it's been longer since your teeth have been examined and cleaned, we will need to see you before your teeth whitening to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and for treatment.

Why Teeth Darken As We Grow Older

As we grow older, our teeth stain due to lifestyle choices (like tobacco use) and the bright foods and drinks we consume. 

The good news is you don't have to give up your favourite dishes and beverages. Instead, you can treat tooth stains and discolouration with professional teeth whitening in North Brisbane. 

Teeth Up to Eight Shades Whiter

We offer in-chair teeth whitening and the popular take-home Zoom! You can choose one option, or your cosmetic dentist in Wooloowin may combine treatments for optimal results. 

In-house Zoom! Teeth Whitening will give you an improvement of up to several shades during a one-hour visit. We will place a protective barrier on the gums to reduce sensitivity while we apply the professional strength whitening gel to the teeth for about twenty minutes. This process is repeated up to three times during a single visit.

Patients can continue with take-home teeth whitening to reach optimum results in about two to three weeks of regular treatments.

We provide custom teeth whitening trays from impressions and moulds of the teeth. As long as your bite does not shift, you should have no problem reusing your whitening trays periodically in the future. You can touch up your teeth about every three months or as new tooth stains develop. We offer whitening gel refills for purchase.

Store-Bought Teeth Whitening Options

Commercial-grade teeth bleaching kits and gels are gaining in popularity. It might be tempting to give them a try. However, these systems may not provide the desired results or be safe from your tooth enamel.

Many store-bought whitening systems fail to deliver the results they advertise, and some are difficult to use. As our most popular cosmetic treatment, we will ensure that you have spectacular results.

Side Effects of Teeth Whitening

Whitening is safe for most healthy patients. However, if you develop sensitivity, let us know. Desensitisers and taking a break between treatments can help.
