Teeth Whitening at Diggers Rest Dental House

Looking to refresh the appearance of your smile? At Diggers Rest Dental House, our in-office teeth whitening is a popular choice among locals. We begin with a detailed assessment to make sure you’re suitable for whitening, followed by a professional scale and clean to prep your teeth.

Next, we apply a protective gel to your gums and a whitening solution to your teeth. A specialised Zoom lamp is used to activate the solution and support the whitening process. Throughout the treatment, our Diggers Rest team closely monitors your progress to help ensure comfort and effectiveness.

The method you choose for teeth whitening is a personal choice. In-office teeth whitening may achieve a more noticeable result in a shorter timeframe, while a take-home kit is more gradual and may suit patients who prefer a more flexible approach. We will discuss all options with you so you can make an informed decision based on your needs.

Who Can Get Their Teeth Whitened?

Teeth discolouration may be extrinsic, which means the surface of your teeth are discoloured due to certain foods, drinks and other factors like smoking. Intrinsic staining stems from inside the tooth and is often a result of trauma, medications or an old dental filling.

Not all types of discolouration respond to whitening in the same way. We will assess your situation and create a customised teeth whitening plan for you. Each patient requires a customised approach since staining can be due to more than one factor and everyone has different levels of discolouration. The following are some common factors that may contribute to teeth discolouration:

• Temporary tooth sensitivity, especially to hot or cold
• Mild gum irritation from whitening gel contact
• Uneven results if there are existing fillings, crowns or veneers
• Overuse of whitening agents may weaken enamel

• Many patients return to normal activities immediately
• Sensitivity usually settles within a few days
• Good oral hygiene and limiting staining foods and drinks can help maintain results

Why Professional Teeth Whitening?

Getting your teeth whitened by dental professionals means we can first check for any underlying dental concerns that may need attention, such as an old filling that should be replaced. If there are issues you may be unaware of, such as early-stage gum disease, we can address those first.

Over-the-counter teeth whitening kits may not always work as expected. The whitening gels are not customised and the trays are not created to fit your teeth, which can lead to less effective results. Gum irritation is one of the more common complaints with these kits, as is tooth sensitivity. Professional whitening allows us to take steps to help minimise these risks.

Our dentists and dental professionals will work with you and guide you through the process. Proper planning can help you make the most of your whitening treatment, and we can also help you maintain your results for longer with cleanings and customised take-home kits.
