What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a bleaching process that can help lighten discolouration and improve the appearance of your tooth enamel, providing a whiter, brighter smile.
Our team will discuss the pros and cons of the available teeth whitening procedures with you to help you make an informed decision. For ideal results, teeth whitening is often planned following a professional clean and check-up.
Teeth Whitening Procedures
Philips Zoom in chair whitening
Zoom in-chair whitening is a procedure where a whitening gel is applied to your teeth and activated by a specialised light. The treatment is completed in a single appointment, which makes it a popular option for those who prefer to finish their whitening treatment in one visit. It’s important to note that individual results and outcomes can vary.
Take Home Teeth Whitening kit
Our take-home whitening kit allows you to whiten your teeth at your own pace and provides flexibility and control over the level of brightness you achieve. It's important to note that individual results can and will vary. We'll offer a consultation to confirm that this treatment suits your needs and give you guidance on using your kit safely and effectively.
How does the take home teeth whitening kit work?
We will take a mould of your teeth to create custom-fit trays for your whitening gel. When they are ready, we’ll ask you to return for a tray fitting and to go through detailed instructions on how to apply the gel and for how long. It's important to remember that individual results will vary from person to person.
Frequently Asked Questions
What whitening options do we offer at Oakstone Dental?
At Oakstone Dental we offer two safe and effective whitening options. You can choose our in-chair Philips Zoom whitening for quick results under the Zoom Light. Alternatively, our popular take-home whitening kit lets you brighten your smile over time using custom-fit trays and professional-grade gel. Both options are designed to deliver a natural-looking, radiant smile.
How does the take-home whitening kit work?
We create a set of snug-fitting trays from a mould of your teeth. Once they are ready we check the fit and explain how to apply the whitening gel and how long to wear the trays. Then you can safely use the kit at home and adjust your brightness level over time.
Why is professional whitening better than over-the-counter options?
Professional whitening is planned and monitored, starting with a clean of your teeth and a discussion of the pros and cons of each treatment. In-clinic treatments using Philips Zoom are stronger than most home kits and more effective and efficient. Choosing professional care ensures safer treatment with reliable results.
