Teeth Whitening Perth
Professional Teeth Whitening across our Perth Dental locations
Teeth whitening has become a very popular request at dental offices. There are various methods for teeth bleaching, these include using whitening toothpaste or having a teeth whitening process completed by professionals. Our dentists at St John Dental are the professional teeth whitening experts in Perth, WA.
Our teeth whitening process
It is recommended that you have your teeth checked by our dentists before the teeth whitening process. Upon consultation, we will examine your teeth thoroughly, inspecting the hard and soft tissues. We use whitening shade guides to measure tooth colour before and after the process. These shades determine the effectiveness of the whitening procedure, which may vary up to nine shades lighter.
The effects of teeth bleaching should last for several months but is also dependent on your lifestyle. For the best results, we recommend avoiding dark liquids and acidic beverages, as well as certain types of food for two weeks after the teeth whitening process has been completed. This includes food and drinks such as beetroot, red wine, coffee and soft drinks.
The difference between internal and external bleaching
There are many different teeth bleaching methods available, with the common procedures being internal and external bleaching.
The external bleaching process consists of a bleaching compound that is placed directly onto the teeth to protect your gums and mouth from the high-intensity light that is used in the dental teeth whitening process.
The internal process is a little different as this requires access to the inside of the tooth. Our dental team conventionally use internal bleaching on root canal-treated teeth. This combats internal staining, which is caused by blood and other fluids leaking into the tooth during an infection.
Most teeth whitening treatments can be done in a single visit to one of our Perth clinics and can take approximately 30 minutes to one hour to complete.
