Considering <\/span><\/i>teeth whitening<\/i><\/b> to get your gleaming smile back? There are typically 2 common kinds of this dental work: at-home and in-office whitening which we have available at Sydney Dental.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\"Teeth<\/p>\n

More and more customers are coming into our clinic for their beautifully bright smile. At this point, you may be thinking to yourself, is teeth whitening effective and safe? Are you a good candidate? Then don\u2019t go anywhere just yet, read on with us to find the answers to the most commonly-asked questions regarding this cosmetic dental treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dental implant<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

1. What is teeth whitening?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Teeth whitening is basically a method used to make your teeth brighter. Although your teeth won\u2019t become glaringly white, the whitening can lighten your current teeth color by several shades.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Why is it done?<\/b><\/h2>\n

People receive teeth whitening to solve the discoloration of their teeth. There are two degrees of tooth discoloration:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Discolored tooth surface<\/b>. This can be found in those who smoke for many years, have a habit of eating colored foods that erode the enamel, use mouthwashes with high concentration of Chlorhexidine or Hexetidine for a long time or individuals who fail to practice proper oral hygiene.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Deep discoloration<\/b>. It is caused by genetic factors, age, excess fluoride in water supply, or heavy use of medications.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    3. Who can perform teeth whitening?<\/b><\/h2>\n

    \"Teeth<\/p>\n

    Teeth whitening is a dental procedure and should only be carried out by a dentist or a well-trained dental professional, like a dental hygienist or dental therapist with a referral from a dentist.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Currently, there are beauty salons on the current market that provide teeth whitening. However, it is considered against the law if there is no certified dental provider, which can do harm to your oral wellness.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Teeth whitening can also be done at home with DIY teeth whitening kits but these may also come with certain risks.<\/span><\/p>\n

    3.1 What are the options?<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Methods of brightening teeth are many, like using natural foods, whitening toothpaste or gel, and strips. However, the most common ones are at-home whitening trays and in-office teeth whitening.<\/span><\/p>\n

    3.2 At-home whitening<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Whitening trays are made of clear plastic to hold the whitener and prevent saliva from coming in. You still have to come in the clinic with this option as the dentist will take impressions of your teeth to create the tray of your teeth size. Generally, this method is quite effective with low cost but not helpful in all cases. Therefore, most of the time the dentist will recommend at-home trays to people with slightly yellow teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n

    3.3 In-office whitening<\/b><\/h3>\n

    This procedure includes 3 steps, namely removing tartar, polishing, and whitening teeth. The dentist will use a whitener together with a high-intensity light beam to enable the chemical to penetrate deeper. Before applying the whitener, the dentist will give you gum and mouth protectors as well as use anti-sensitivity medications for your comfort.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The biggest advantage of this method is its quick, efficient effect on severe complaints and tooth discoloration. A plus is upper and bottom teeth will look evenly and naturally white as they are treated at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n

    4. Is dental whitening safe?<\/b><\/h2>\n

    There are many options for teeth brightening \u2013 from whitening kits and brightening toothpastes, to in-clinic treatments and home remedies. Nevertheless, you should keep in mind that before opting for any procedure, take your time to learn well about the treatment and where you can get it done safely. Always place your trust in a reputable dental clinic with qualified dentists and staff for the best outcome and utmost safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

    5. Are there any risks from dental whitening?<\/b><\/h2>\n

    \"Teeth<\/p>\n

    Whatever treatment you go with, there is always a chance of sensitive gums as a response to the agents used in teeth whitening, especially if sensitive teeth are already a problem. There’s also a risk of burning sensations in the gums. Additionally, certain at-home whitening kits can be harmful to your tooth enamel.<\/span><\/p>\n

    6. So are you a candidate for teeth whitening?<\/b><\/h2>\n

    For the vast majority of people, whitening can work really well and the results will be a significant improvement. However, there are some instances where patients aren’t suitable for treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

    This dental procedure may not the good fit for you if you:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Are under the age of 18;<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Have dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, porcelain veneers, and tooth filling, plastic crowns;<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Are pregnant or breastfeeding;<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Have sensitive teeth and gums;<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Stubborn stains. Some stains can resist strong whiteners used at dental facilities. If this is the case, you may need an intensive teeth brightening plan at home or alternatives like dental veneers, crowns, and filling;<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Have transparent teeth, especially the weakened front teeth area due to aging.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      It is also worth remembering that, although teeth whitening is completely safe when performed properly in a qualified dental setting, it can result in temporary tooth sensitivity to temperature, pressure and touch, as well as gum irritation. Therefore, it is advised that you visit your dentist to have the status of your teeth and gums evaluated in advance of the treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

      7. What to discuss with the dentist before I make a choice?<\/b><\/h2>\n

      Do not hesitate to raise any questions about the treatment details, such as the whitening options available for you, the outcomes you can expect and the duration of the treatment as well as the cost.<\/span><\/p>\n

      You may also want to know if there are any risks from the treatment, like any increased sensitivity to your teeth or gums.<\/span><\/p>\n

      You can also consult with acquaintances who have undergone teeth whitening or maybe get a second opinion from another dental provider as long as it makes you feel assured and confident to proceed with the treatment. It is important to always ask for a clear written treatment plan and estimate fees before getting anything done.<\/span><\/p>\n

      8. Does teeth whitening produce ever-lasting effects?<\/b><\/h2>\n

      The outcome of whitening teeth is not permanent. It can last for a few months to a maximum of three years depending on each particular case.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The whitening effect may be reduced if you smoke cigarettes or drink red wine, tea or coffee on a regular basis because these can all stain whitened teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n

      9. Does teeth whitening work on artificial teeth?<\/b><\/h2>\n

      The sad news is dental whitening doesn\u2019t have an effect on dentures, crowns, fillings or veneers.<\/span><\/p>\n

      10. What to do if you are not happy with the brightening results?<\/b><\/h2>\n

      If you feel like your results are unsatisfactory, do not delay in talking to the dentist that performed the whitening procedure for you for further recommendations.<\/span><\/p>\n

      11. Zoom Whitespeed whitening technology at Sydney Dental<\/b><\/h2>\n

      \"Teeth<\/p>\n

      At Sydney Dental, we use Zoom Whitespeed technology and the exclusive Philips Zoom whitener for the best whitening effect.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Our doctor will apply the Zoom whitener and shine the LED beam on the teeth’s surface to stimulate the chemical to enter deep into the teeth. The Hydrogen Peroxide in the whitener will help eliminate any discoloration, bringing an evidently bright tone for your teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n

      12. The pros of Zoom Whitespeed<\/b><\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Zero ache and numbness<\/span><\/i>. The LED beam doesn\u2019t radiate too much heat and thereby won\u2019t cause any ache or irritation to the teeth\u2019s pulp.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Perfect safety for your eyes<\/span><\/i>. The LED system with cool lighting in combination with the cotton guard from Zoom Kit helps protect the eyes of the patients and doctors from being affected by lasers.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Intensive, effective whitening<\/span><\/i>. The density of the LED Zoom Whitespeed is double that of other lighting systems on the market. Therefore, the light-sensitive particles inside the whitener will be stimulated to the greatest extent, optimizing the whitening results.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Varying modes for different needs<\/span><\/i>. LED Zoom Whitespeed comes in 3 levels, namely light, medium, and intensive. The treatment mode will be selected according to the oral conditions of each patient following thorough examination.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        13. How to prevent your teeth from getting discolored and maintain the whitening results?<\/b><\/h2>\n

        Every one of us desires a shiny, beautiful smile as it greatly improves our appearance and boosts our confidence. If you want to better the color of your tooth enamel, limit taking in foods and beverages that can yellow your teeth. It is not a toughie to maintain nice, white teeth if you are aware of the foods that can yellow your teeth to stay away from, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

        Here are the list of foods and drinks that are not very friendly to a white, shiny smile:<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Coffee<\/i><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Coffee, especially black coffee, stains teeth. Many individuals have the habit of having a coffee right after brushing instead of having their breakfast first. As the tooth surface has many spongy holes, they can absorb the liquids that come in your mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n

          The dark shade of coffee will easily stick to these holes, turning teeth yellow and more and more dark-colored over time. However, you can avoid this problem by putting some in your coffee. This helps brighten the black coffee up as well as give you a good amount of calcium.<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Tea<\/i><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            In the hope of preventing tooth discoloration, many people opt for tea to keep their mind alert as a replacement for coffee. Nevertheless, this idea may not create the expected results. Tea has quite a lot of tannin, a matter that can discolor the tooth enamel. The amount of tannin tea varies, depending on the type of tea that you drink. The darker-colored the tea is, the more it may discolor your teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n

            If you can\u2019t give up tea, have green or white tea instead of black tea. Of course they still affect the color of your tooth \u2013 it is just that their impact is not as severe as that from black tea.<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            • Sodas<\/i><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Not only does this type of drink harm your health, they also hurt your teeth\u2019s bright color. As you drink cokes, sugar together with artificial acids will affect the tooth enamel, weakening and discoloring the outer layer, especially if you consume it on a daily basis.<\/span><\/p>\n

              Similar to tea, although you can avoid tooth discoloration by drinking light-colored or clear cokes, the sugar and acids will still harm your teeth. Therefore, try to minimize your coke consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n

                \n
              • Dark fruit juices<\/i><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                Grape and cranberry juices are among the biggest causes of yellowish teeth. Even though they are very beneficial for your health, they contain unnecessary types of melanin to teeth. In addition, fruit juices come with quite a lot of acids that can wear out and discolor your teeth easily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                You can switch to light-colored fruit juices, such as apple or orange juice. Moreover, drinking fruit juices in light shades also helps rid of stains on teeth from foods.<\/span><\/p>\n

                \"Teeth<\/p>\n

                  \n
                • Ice pops<\/i><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  Nothing beats enjoying a yummy ice pop on scorching hot summer days. However, foods that leave the color on your lips and tongue can also discolor your teeth. Try to limit this snack and go with healthier choices like frozen fruits instead.<\/span><\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • Soy sauce<\/i><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    Your teeth are not discolored by only dark-colored beverages. Dark liquid seasoning used to give food a better taste, like soy sauce, also has a similar impact. Plus, try to use soy sauce in moderation also because it contains large amounts of sodium \u2013 an ingredient that can do harm to people with high blood pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n

                      \n
                    • Wine<\/i><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      In spite of its benefits to your cardiovascular health, red wine is not at all friendly to your teeth. If you have any doubt, smile to a mirror after a wine \u2013 the result should really surprise you.<\/span><\/p>\n

                      Moreover, red wine has been shown through studies to have anti-inflammatory properties that can help alleviate and prevent gum disease. Therefore, opt for white wine or rinse your mouth thoroughly after having wine.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

                        \n
                      • Ketchup<\/i><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                        Ketchup is a product that can be found in almost every family\u2019s spice rack. You can already tell through the dark, eye-catching color of this sauce that it has many antioxidant substances and vitamins that the body needs. However, regular intake of this seasoning can make your teeth yellowish over time. However, you don\u2019t have to avoid ketchup completely \u2013 you can prevent the discoloration by having some salad.<\/span><\/p>\n

                          \n
                        • Blueberries<\/i><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                          Blueberries are one of the superfoods that provide many health benefits yet many people hesitate to have it for fear of the dark stains it can leave on teeth. You don\u2019t need to steer clear of this fruit. Instead, wash your mouth with water to remove the residue afterwards.<\/span><\/p>\n

                            \n
                          • Beets<\/i><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                            If you have prepared beets, you may know how easily they can leave dark stains. Like blueberries and tomatoes, beets are really beneficial for your health yet they can discolor your teeth even more than other fruits and veggies. Swishing your mouth after eating usually won\u2019t be very helpful \u2013 you also need to clean your teeth thoroughly to maintain your gleamy smile in the most thorough way.<\/span><\/p>\n

                            Handy tips to preserve the color of the tooth enamel<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

                            Before having anything that can possibly stain your teeth, eat some dark-colored vegetables first. They will create a layer on your teeth that can help protect them from acidification, which is the main culprit of discoloration.<\/span><\/p>\n

                            After a meal, you may want to have some carrots, cauliflower, and celery. These green foods help sweep the dark-colored residue off your teeth. Additionally, swish your mouth after eating and wait from 30 minutes to 1 hour before giving your teeth a brush. The reason why you should not brush immediately following eating is your enamel will be more fragile than usual due to acids from foods. In other words, if you brush too soon, the protective enamel layer can be worn out. This waiting time also allows the mineral recovery process to complete. Drink a glass of water during this time to remove any food particles stuck on your teeth without harming the tooth structure.<\/span><\/p>\n
