Teeth Whitening Mosman
Do you want to cover up yellow or stained teeth, or want a winning smile for wedding photos? Teeth whitening is a fast and safe non-surgical solution for covering up tooth discolouration and helping you to smile with confidence.
At Mosman 3D Dental, we offer a choice of in-chair teeth whitening provided by our experienced dentists or home whitening using a personalised kit. To find out the best teeth whitening treatment for you, call us today on (02) 9969 8610 to schedule a consultation or book online.
What is teeth whitening?
Some teeth are naturally less white than others, while others can lose their whiteness over time due to ageing, wear, or stains from food, drink, tobacco and other sources. Teeth whitening treatments use bleaching chemicals to remove pigments from teeth, leaving them looking naturally whiter.
It’s important to note that teeth whitening can’t treat all types of discolouration. If a tooth has been discoloured by trauma or medication side effects, or you have a discoloured crown or bridge, our dentists can discuss other cosmetic options such as veneers or other restorations.
What are my teeth whitening options?
There are two options for teeth whitening at Mosman 3D Dental: in-chair treatments performed by our dentist or take-home whitening kits carried out at home following our dentist’s guidance. Both have their advantages, depending on your needs.
In-chair teeth whitening
Professional teeth whitening in our Mosman dental clinic usually takes less than an hour, depending on how much whitening is being done. Our dentists are qualified to use bleaching gels at higher concentrations than are available to the public, for instantly visible results.
We’ll also provide you with a take-home kit to help you maintain your smile and prevent it from fading. You may not be suitable for in-chair teeth whitening if you have sensitive teeth or gums.
Home teeth whitening kit
If you prefer to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home, we can provide a home whitening kit that includes custom-made trays fitted perfectly for your teeth. These should be used following our dentist’s instructions to achieve the results you want.
Home teeth whitening is cheaper than professional whitening, but it also takes longer. It could take a week or more to see noticeable results.
How long does whitening last?
Once whitened, your new smile could last anywhere from several months to a few years. Results from teeth whitening can vary from person to person, depending on the type of discolouration and how well you avoid sources of stains.
Avoiding staining food and drink and practising good oral hygiene can help your teeth stay white for longer.
Is teeth whitening safe?
When you choose teeth whitening at our clinic or using a custom kit designed for your teeth, you can avoid some of the risks associated with over-the-counter whitening products, but your teeth may still feel sensitive after treatment. Our dentists will make sure you have all the information you need to make an informed decision.
