Tooth Whitening

Teeth whitening is an increasingly popular and non-invasive dental procedure that can instantly refresh your smile. Redland Bay Smiles offers patients the choice between in-chair or take home treatment.Teeth whitening works quickly to brighten and whiten stained or discoloured teeth, leaving a fresh youthful appearance.

At Redland Bay Smiles, we see thousands of patients for teeth whitening. This is one of our most popular treatments. We choose to use advanced products in order to provide the best possible results for our patients. Because of the large volumes of teeth whitening we perform for our patients, we do not charge premium prices when compared to other practices.

The gel used throughout the whitening treatment is a product of extensive research. In chair, it can lighten your teeth up to 14 shades lighter in about one hour. It takes approximately two weeks to achieve this result at home. The gel is hydrogen peroxide based and works by breaking down deep stains on the tooth surface. It is safe to use in the human mouth and does not damage or alter tooth structure. Many of our own dentists enjoy whitening their own teeth, giving it the ultimate tick of approval.

What is in-chair whitening like?

A light-activated tooth whitening gel is applied to the teeth at four separate intervals whilst you sit comfortably in the dental chair for about one hour. During this time, you are able to listen to music or watch Netflix and chill. What is the take-home whitening like: If you would rather use the take-home formula, this does not require any light. You will simply need to place the gel in your customised whitening trays and wear your trays for approximately 45 minutes at a time. Do this for approximately one to two weeks for wonderful results. Your dentist will walk you through the exact steps and give you a care sheet to follow. At Redland Bay Smiles, our first concern is the oral health of our patients. We strongly believe that a healthy mouth contributes to your overall health. However, this notion is not limited to simply treating decay or gum disease but also extends to patients with cosmetic concerns that may be impacting their overall quality of life and health.

Discoloured teeth are a major concern for many of our patients and as such we provide whitening procedures to eligible patients. We offer a number of whitening solutions depending on the cause of your discolouration. All our whitening products are TGA approved and safe for supervised use.
