Teeth Whitening
Today Dental Avenue wants to look at teeth whitening and what you need to consider before you decide to go ahead with teeth whitening treatment at Dental Avenue.
Can I whiten my teeth? Our dentists in Parramatta know that not everyone has teeth that are suitable for teeth whitening. You need to have both healthy teeth and healthy gums before you have them whitened. If your teeth and gums aren’t healthy the whitening procedure may actually cause more damage. Even if your teeth and gums are healthy there could be other reasons our dentists in Parramatta may advise you not to have your teeth whitened.
How do I know if my teeth are suitable? The best way is to come into our dental clinic in Parramatta – one of our dentists will be able to check your teeth and let you know if you are suitable. Our dentists at Dental Avenue are trained and qualified and can make a full and proper assessment of your teeth and gums.
What will this assessment include? At our dental clinic in Parramatta our dentists will look at things like – receding gums, tooth decay. Thickness of the tooth enamel, any existing sensitivity, existing restorations
– fillings, etc and if there are any other oral conditions or diseases. He will work out why your teeth are discolored (aging, diet etc) and if this discoloration is on the inside or the outside of the teeth. Only the qualified dentists at our dental clinic in Parramatta are able to carry out these checks and to recommend the right whitening treatment for you.
Can anything go wrong? In general there is no risk from teeth whitening when done professionally at our dental clinic in Parramatta. There may be some minor side effects from treatment including – a reduction in the hardness of your tooth enamel, tooth sensitivity and crowns and fillings won’t change color so you could end up with different colored teeth.
What results can I expect? It depends on the reasons for the discoloration of your teeth in the first place and results can vary from perfect to unimpressive. You need to listen to the advice given to you by your dentist in Parramatta so you understand what can be reasonably achieved if you go ahead. Some people achieve a one or two shade change, where others may not see a change at all. What works for one person may not work for another, but your Dental Avenue dentist will be able to advise you accordingly.
