Teaming up with your dentist is the best way to get the whitening results you want. Your dentist knows your oral health and can make recommendations that will allow you to get the best results in a time frame that works for you. Dr. Vic can also help you understand how the whitening process works, monitor your progress, and treat any sensitivity issues that may arise.
What causes tooth discoloration?
Many factors make teeth lose their lustre. Genetics is one factor: some people just have whiter teeth than others. A big contributing factor causing discoloration is our lifestyle choices, like smoking cigarettes and eating dark foods and beverages, including coffee, tea, soda, and red wine. These can all stain your teeth. Age, some medications, and tooth trauma can also cause discoloration.
What tooth whitening options do we offer?
In-Office
Opalescence Boost is a powerful whitening treatment applied by Dr. Vic to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. The 1-hour treatment uses the active ingredient hydrogen peroxide to penetrate the tooth and break down discoloured molecules, achieving shades of whiter teeth. In addition, Opalescence gels include potassium nitrate and fluoride (PF). Findings have confirmed that these ingredients actually help to reduce cavities, minimise sensitivity, increase enamel hardness, and improve the overall health of your teeth. Opalescence Boost is the fastest way to get the bright, white smile you’ve always wanted. With the highest peroxide percentages (40%) only able to be provided by a dentist. What does the treatment involve?
- It’s important that a complete check-up and clean be performed prior to your tooth whitening appointment. This will ensure you are a suitable candidate and discuss realistic results for you
- A protective resin barrier is placed on the gums to protect the gums
- The first 20-minute application of the patented Opalescence Boost gel is applied to the teeth (usually, the front upper and lower 8 teeth, which are visible when smiling)
- No lights or lasers are required, which can dehydrate the teeth and cause sensitivity
- The gel is removed, and your teeth are assessed in their whitening progress
- A second 20-minute application of whitening gel is then applied
- The gel and barrier are removed, and the results of shades whiter teeth are immediate after your 1-hour treatment
