Professional teeth whitening in Harris Park, NSW, is an inexpensive way to transform your smile. Through our professional systems, your dentist may be able to lift away years of stubborn tooth stains and discolouration. For safe and superior results, it’s always best to trust your teeth whitening to your dentist!

If you are considering professional teeth whitening, you may wonder how to prolong your results or keep your teeth bright for as long as possible.

Let’s explore professional teeth whitening, including tips and aftercare.

Professional Teeth Whitening Options and Your Consultation

We offer laser teeth whitening and Zoom!® in our dental clinic. Both options can lighten your teeth by several shades.

Your dentist will have you come in for a consultation, especially if you’re a new patient or have not been in to see us in a while. This consultation determines whether you’re a candidate for teeth whitening and which option will best serve your goals.

If professional teeth whitening is not suitable, your dentist can recommend alternatives to conceal tooth stains, including dental veneers or bonding.

Extending the Longevity of Your New Bright Smile

After teeth whitening, your dentist may talk to you about why your teeth are discoloured. It may be a natural part of ageing or another culprit. It can be a combination of factors.

Common reasons for tooth stains and discolouration include:

  • Tooth-staining beverages like coffee, tea and red wine
  • Tooth-staining foods like dark or bright sauces, curry and vibrant berries
  • Unhealthy habits like smoking or tobacco use
  • Certain medications
