Nothing compares to professional teeth whitening. Kits purchased in shops or beauty salons are generic and lacking the custom fit and professional strength solution available to dentists. We choose the proper strength for exceptional results and to manage sensitivity.
Patients today have more teeth whitening options than ever before. From in-practice procedures to kits for teeth whitening at home, patients can safely and comfortably enjoy the benefits of a brighter smile.
Your trusted Fanelli dentist will review your whitening goals along with your oral health and recommend the best teeth whitening treatment to meet your needs.
White4Life program
Start with professional teeth whitening at Fanelli Dental. Keep up with your active maintenance appointments. You then qualify for our White4Life Program.
White4Life helps you maintain a brighter smile after your initial whitening. Once you qualify, you receive complimentary take home touch up kits. You use these kits to refresh your results between visits.
Your dentist explains how to use the kits safely and how often touch ups suit your teeth. The team also confirms your maintenance schedule so you stay eligible.
What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment that lightens the natural colour of your teeth. Your dentist applies a whitening gel to the enamel and dentine to break down stains.
During in chair whitening, a light or laser may be used to activate the gel. Your gums and soft tissues are protected throughout the process.
In-chair teeth whitening
In chair whitening takes place at Fanelli Dental over one or more visits. You spend around one hour in the chair while your dentist applies a professional whitening gel. Some cases use a specialised light to support the result.
After treatment, you receive clear instructions to reduce staining for the next one to two days. Your dentist also shares practical tips to help maintain a brighter shade over time.
Take-home teeth whitening
Take home whitening uses custom made trays and professional whitening gel. Your dentist shows you how to apply the gel and how long to wear the trays each day.
Results often take longer than in chair whitening because the gel strength is lower. Many patients choose this option for convenience and flexibility at home.
What to consider when getting your teeth whitened
Have you tried whitening toothpaste and other products promising pearly whites, but you're not seeing results? It might be important to start asking yourself if professional teeth whitening might make the difference you've been looking for:
- Does the condition of your teeth adversely affect your self-esteem?
- What method of teeth whitening fits best in your budget?
- How does your schedule align with the different choices for teeth whitening?
- What level of whitening do you want?
- Do you have any underlying health problems?
- What process for teeth whitening makes the most sense for your schedule and household situation?
Frequently asked questions
Typically, teeth whitening is a safe treatment, especially when completed by a trained professional. However, there are some minor, short-term side effects that some patients may notice.
- Increased tooth sensitivity
- Tingling of the gums
- Skin irritation if the gel comes into contact with your skin
- Irritated throat if you ingest the gel
Speak to your dentist if you experience any of these symptoms.
The effects of teeth whitening will last anywhere from 6 months to 2-3 years. The whitening effects will fade sooner if you smoke, don’t brush and floss often, and consume staining substances such as red wine and coffee.
It will last longer if you minimise these substances and take good care of your oral health.
Teeth whitening costs vary depending on the treatment you choose, the condition of your teeth, and your health fund cover. Give our friendly team a call today for more information on costs.
No. Teeth whitening is a procedure that lightens the enamel of your natural teeth via a gel. This does not affect the colour of dental crowns, veneers, or composite resin (white fillings).
If you wish for a crown, veneer, or fillings to match the colour of your teeth; you will need to discuss this with your dentist as additional work may be required.
Teeth whitening is not recommended for children under the age of 16, those with dental issues such as gum disease or cavities, and anyone who is pregnant.
Your dental professional can help you determine if you are a good candidate for teeth whitening.
