If you find yourself longing for a whiter, brighter smile, you are not alone. The Australian Dental Association (ADA) recently noted that "The popularity of teeth whitening is surging", especially in young adults. The benefits of teeth whitening extend far beyond a beautiful smile, with patients reporting increased self-confidence and reduced oral bacteria.
Patients today have more whitening options than ever before. From in-practice procedures to at-home whitening kits, patients can safely and comfortably enjoy the benefits of a brighter smile. Your trusted dentist will review your whitening goals along with your oral health and recommend a safe, effective whitening treatment personalised to meet your needs.
Your dentist will review whitening options with you to determine which option is the best fit for you. In general, there are two treatment options: In-chair whitening and at-home whitening.
Here is a look at what you can expect with each of these options:
This type of whitening will require one or more visits to a dental practice. You should plan to be in the dental chair for about an hour while your dentist applies a professional-grade whitening solution to your teeth. Depending on the type of solution used, your dentist may also use a bright light to maximise results. Following the application of the solution, your dentist will guide you in making lifestyle changes to help keep your teeth white.
An alternative option to in-chair whitening is a take-home whitening kit that includes custom dental trays and whitening gel. Your dentist will provide instructions to guide you on applying your whitening gel to achieve desired results. In most cases, it takes longer to achieve desired results with at-home whitening kits. At-home whitening kits are less invasive and patients often like the convenience of whitening their teeth at home.
Do-it-yourself (DIY) teeth whitening products remain popular in Australia despite the growing risks associated with them. They are easy to buy and tend to cost less than professional treatments. However, DIY kits don't compare to whitening treatments offered by your dentist.
Here are just some of the reasons why professional whitening is better than DIY whitening kits:
Additionally, it is important to recognise that some over-the-counter whitening kits may do more harm than good. Some contain harsh bleaching chemicals that could damage your dental enamel and cause your teeth to become overly sensitive. The safest and most effective path to teeth whitening is to schedule a consultation with your dentist.
