Transform Your Smile with Professional Teeth Whitening Services
Teeth whitening is a popular treatment to complement your smile. Brushing your teeth regularly helps keep them clean, but in spite of your good efforts, certain foods and beverages can stain and make your teeth look dull. But not to worry, our team here at Precision Dental offers professional teeth whitening options to brighten your smile.
Why Teeth Lose Their Lustre
Teeth can become discoloured from the inside, as well as the external surface of the tooth. During an exam, Dr Billy will determine the reason for discolouration, which will help match you with a suitable treatment.
Intrinsic Discolouration
Intrinsic discolouration refers to staining from inside the tooth and is often the case when an old amalgam filling makes the tooth look grey or bluish grey.
But discolouration that comes from inside the tooth can also be a result of trauma or certain medications.
No matter what affected your tooth or teeth, we have options that will help brighten your teeth again.
Extrinsic Discolouration
This is the most common type of discolouration and takes place when the external side of the teeth, or enamel, becomes stained.
Commonly caused by certain foods, drinks and habits like smoking, other factors like age cannot be helped.
We have the options to brighten your teethso you can smile again.
Professional Teeth Whitening at Precision Dental
Our professional teeth whitening services are overseen by dental professionals during the entire treatment. We also begin with a professional cleaning to remove all dental plaque, which is the first step to whitening.
Once your teeth are cleaned, we can determine the strength of your whitening gel. We will also create customised trays that will fit over your teeth to hold the gel in place, providing a shade of white suited to your smile.
Professional teeth whitening options offer an advantage overover-the-counter kits because we can customise the whitening gel and trays to your needs. Some patients believe that teeth whitening may be dangerous or ineffective, but that is typically only the case with generic, over-the-counter kits.
These kits are often misused and can irritate your gums or increase tooth sensitivity. With professional oversight and guidance from Precision Dental, your trusted Cosmetic Dentist Brisbane in Fortitude Valley, you can work toward a whiter, brighter smile while protecting your gums and tooth enamel.
Teeth Whitening Options
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Is performed right in our office and is a popular choicefor many of our patients. You will receive a dental examination and a professional teeth cleaning to begin, so we can address any dental issues and make sure your teeth are clear of dental caries and plaque that can contribute to staining.
Then a professional whitening gel will be applied to your teeth that was chosen to get you the shade of white you desire. Your gums will be protected during this time and you will relax while our chair-side lamp activates and expedites the whitening gel. This is an advanced whitening serviceand we monitor your teeth during the entire treatment.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kits
Are suitable for busy patients who do nothave time for the in-office visit. They are also a great way to keep your teeth clean after an in-office teeth whitening service or as an optionfor those who only require a bit of whitening. For this treatment, we will also do a dental exam and professional cleaning so we can begin with your teeth at their cleanest.
After we consult with you to determine the target shade of white, you will receive your customised whitening gel and trays along with instructions on how to use them. We will work with you through the process.
