Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening

Over the years, teeth age – becoming discoloured from coffee, tea, tobacco, or possibly antibiotic use in childhood. Microscopic openings in the tooth’s surface allow stains to enter, resulting in a dulling or yellowing of the teeth.

Teeth whitening is the most commonly requested treatment.

What causes teeth to turn yellow?

There's a range of reasons teeth become discolored. Genetics, your environment, even taking certain medication can all have an impact on the whiteness of your smile. 
The most common reason is surface stains on your enamel. This is down to everyday food, drinks and lifestyle choices. Over time, these stains can work their way to the layer below enamel, known as dentin. When this becomes stained, the whole tooth looks darker because of the translucency of enamel.

How we whiten your teeth with Philips Zoom! WhiteSpeed

Your treatment starts with your dentist checking your current shade, so you can see the dramatic difference after your treatment is complete.

Once you’re ready, just sit back as your dental professional handles the next steps:

  • Your dentist preps your mouth for whitening and applies a layer of advanced whitening gel to your teeth.
  • To speed up the whitening process, they’ll shine our WhiteSpeed blue LED lamp onto your teeth. This accelerates the whitening, plus the lamp’s variable settings ensure you’ll get a comfortable experience.
  • This is repeated three times - and is completed in just 45 minutes!
  • Once you’ve reached your desired shade, your dentist will apply our post-treatment gel to help protect enamel and reduce sensitivity.

You have the option to have customised whitening trays made prior to your in-chair whitening appointment.  You can take these trays and a take home a whitening kit with you after your appointment to top up the brightness of your smile whenever you want to.
