Teeth Whitening: What to Expect
Daily habits and aging can contribute to changes in the colour of teeth. Professional teeth whitening is one option that may help lighten the appearance of tooth staining. Before treatment, a dentist will assess your oral health and discuss the potential benefits, risks, and limitations of whitening, including the possibility of temporary sensitivity. Unlike over‑the‑counter products, dentist‑supervised whitening treatments use regulated materials and controlled application methods to help ensure appropriate use for suitable patients.

What is the Cause of Tooth Discolouration? Professional Whitening of teeth with the help of treatment
Colour change on teeth may be because of a number of reasons. It is usually attributed to the intake of coffee, tea, red wine, and some foods at a regular rate. Surface stains are also largely contributed by smoking and tobacco consumption. When we grow old, our enamels automatically wear off, revealing the darker layer that is located below. Tooth colour may also be further influenced by poor oral hygiene and certain medications and therefore professional whitening is a very effective solution.
In the Sunbury Dental Group, the teeth whitening is carried out with the help of special bleaching gels which are safe and help to remove the stains of the enamel. Our dentists will first carry out a detailed examination of your teeth and gums before commencing treatment to make sure that they are healthy. The process of whitening may be done in-clinic or done as individualised take-home kits, depending on your wish and way of life.
Disclaimer

Are pregnant or breastfeeding
