Teeth Whitening St James

Dental bleaching is a process that involves the use of bleaching agents to reduce stains and discolouration on teeth. These bleaching agents, usually containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, work by breaking down the molecules responsible for the discolouration of teeth.

Our caring team at Infinite Smiles Dental Victoria Park utilises advanced dental technology and effective tooth-bleaching techniques to achieve optimal results and healthy teeth.

The cost may vary depending on the type of whitening treatment you choose and your desired shade. It usually ranges from $260-$280 per tooth.

At Infinite Smiles Dental Victoria Park, we offer competitive pricing for our teeth whitening services. During your initial consultation, our friendly staff will provide you with a detailed breakdown of the costs based on your specific case.

The frequency with which you can whiten your teeth depends on the method of whitening you are using and the sensitivity of your teeth and gums. Generally, for professional whitening treatments, it is recommended to have the procedure done once every 6 months to a year.

If you are using at-home whitening kits, you might be able to use them more frequently, like once every few months, but it’s essential to follow your dentist’s recommendations to avoid over-whitening and causing sensitivity or damage to your teeth. For over-the-counter whitening products such as toothpaste and strips, you can usually use them more frequently, but again, it’s important to consult with your dentist, follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and pay attention to how your teeth and gums are reacting.

Dental bleaching in Vic Park is generally a safe procedure. However, some individuals may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation. These side effects are usually mild and subside shortly after treatment.

The gentle dentists at Infinite Smiles Dental Victoria Park will prioritise your comfort and take the necessary precautions to minimise discomfort.

There are various methods and techniques used in dental bleaching, such as in-office and at-home options.

In-chair teeth whitening procedures take place at dental clinics. Our experienced team will apply a concentrated whitening gel to the teeth during the appointment. This gel contains active ingredients that help break down the stains and discolouration on the tooth enamel. The gel is often activated by a special light or laser, which enhances the whitening process. The entire procedure can be completed in a single visit, making it a convenient option for patients who desire immediate results.

Individuals who prefer to whiten their teeth in the comfort of their own homes use at-home teeth whitening kits. These kits include custom-fitted whitening trays designed to fit snugly over your teeth. The trays are filled with a professional whitening gel, usually less concentrated than the gel used in the in-office procedure. This allows for a gentler and more gradual whitening process that can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to a few months. The trays are worn for a specified amount of time each day, often during the night or for a few hours during the day. It’s important to follow your dentist’s instructions for optimal results.

With take-home whitening kits, you can whiten your teeth at your own pace. You will be provided with specific instructions on using the trays and the whitening gel effectively and safely. It’s important to follow the recommended guidelines and wear the trays for the prescribed amount of time each day to achieve the desired results.
