Teeth Whitening Melbourne, Victoria

Two systems of professional tooth whitening are available at our surgery: in-chair whitening and home whitening. In-chair whitening involves the application of a gel containing hydrogen peroxide to the tooth surface which is subsequently activated by a bright light. The entire procedure takes about an hour. The results are immediate. It is sometimes recommended that in-chair whitening is followed up by home whitening. Home whitening involves the wearing of the whitening gel in custom made mouthguards for an half an hour during the day. Results take one to two weeks but some patients can require longer, even up to six months to remove stains or other heavy discolouration. Following any professional treatment, your teeth will always remain lighter than they were originally, but to keep them looking their best, occasional (12-24 monthly) touch ups will be required. This involves a few applications of home whitening.
