How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
We use bleaching agents with a peroxide base to lift stains from your tooth enamel. These strong but safe-to-use chemicals will lift both surface and deep-set stains.
When you undergo teeth whitening in Sunbury, we’ll target stains and discolouration caused by:
- Smoking or chewing tobacco
- Regularly drinking coffee, tea, and red wine
- Excessive fluoride consumption
- Chronic dry mouth
- Genetic factors
- Age
- Side effects of certain mouthwashes or medications
- A diet high in simple carbohydrates and sugars
Our professional treatments target both:
- Intrinsic staining: Intrinsic staining refers to stains of the dentin, which is the layer of tissue that lies just underneath your tooth enamel.
- Extrinsic staining: This kind of staining occurs on the outer layer of a tooth called the enamel.
What Can I Expect from Teeth Whitening in Sunbury?
Before you undergo teeth whitening in Sunbury, you may have some questions about how long the colour results will stick around, and if there will be any pain or discomfort involved.
The colour result after teeth whitening will vary depending on your lifestyle habits. It will take a couple of years for your tooth colour to return to what it was before treatment for most people. We offer touch-up kits so that you can refresh your colour at home and better preserve it for the long term.
Some patients may have concerns about pain or discomfort during teeth whitening treatments. Our dental professionals can administer treatments that are painless and safe. Please note that some individuals may feel tooth and gum sensitivity during the process. Using a toothpaste specifically for sensitivity before receiving treatments can help minimise discomfort.
What Are My Teeth Whitening Options?
Our patients have different needs and time constraints, so we offer two paths to teeth whitening in Sunbury:
In-Chair Teeth Whitening
At Vineyard Dental Clinic, we use the advanced Pola-Office in-chair whitening system. Your dentist will use a special light to activate the whitening gel and apply it to each tooth. Our in-chair procedure only takes one appointment, and you’ll be in and out within an hour.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
This do-it-yourself method lets you whiten your teeth from your own home. We’ll send you home with custom-made trays filled with a specialised solution. You’ll need to wear them for around two hours every night. For some patients, results will be noticeable within a week. Depending on the severity of your stains, it may take up to two weeks for you to achieve the shade of white you desire.
