Teeth whitening treatments are one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures, with results lasting between 18-24 months. In order to determine if teeth whitening is suitable for you, visit our clinic for a thorough dental examination, as there could be an underlying reason for your teeth discolouration that needs to be addressed first. Tooth discolouration is sometimes associated with hereditary or age-related factors, as well as certain medications (i.e. Tetracyclines). Perhaps more often, teeth yellow in shade due to dietary and lifestyle habits. Smoking, tea, coffee, red wine and certain dark coloured foods can all stain your teeth. Naturally, the more you partake, the worse the staining will be.

At South Morang Smiles, we can provide you with both in-chair and take-home whitening options. While in-chair whitening gives you instant results over a longer appointment, the at-home kit is a user-friendly alternative which includes a custom-made tray, complete with a whitening solution. Full instructions on the correct way to use the take-home kit are also provided. Whether you require a simple top-up following an in-chair whitening session or are dabbling in tooth whitening for the first time, the at-home whitening solution can be applied as little or as generously as you feel is right for you, depending on how much sensitivity you encounter.
