Teeth Whitening Brisbane (Underwood Dentists)

Why should I whiten my teeth?

Your smile is one of the first things people will notice about you and can be used to attract people’s attention for the right and wrong reasons as well as forming a part of your signature.

Over time through life style factors such as smoking, drinking red wines or coffee and teas, your teeth are subject to staining and discolouration. To revive your once vibrant smile you should consider tooth whitening.

As tooth whitening procedures can be conducted through various methods, it is important to talk to your dentist about which method would be right for you.

Factors you may want to consider include:

• Which tooth whitening method achieves the longest lasting results
• Which tooth whitening method will give you a natural colour without appearing “too white”
• Which tooth whitening method is clinically proven for safety and effectiveness

What are my whitening options?

Take Home Whitening System

We recommend for most patients that whitening their teeth in the comfort of their own home is the most cost effective and efficient way.

We would firstly ensure that your oral hygiene is of a sound standard before taking moulds to create very thin and comfortable mouthguards which are custom-fitted for the upper and lower arch of your mouth.

You will be provided with instructions for use and the correct amount of whitening gel to be placed into the whitening trays. Patients are instructed to wear their mouthguards for 30-60 minutes a day after brushing their teeth and within 7- 10 days, most patients witness amazing changes and visibly brighter teeth. As the take home system is of a low dose which is dispensed over a longer period of time, we believe it is the safest way to whiten teeth with the lowest risk of developing post-whitening tooth sensitivity.

As an introductory offer, we currently have an exciting special for our take home whitening systems at $300 for our take home kit ($150 off our regular price).

In-Chair Whitening System

For some, it can be too difficult wearing their whitening mouthguards everyday for 7-10 days and compliance is the issue. Let’s face it, we all have busy lives to lead! That’s why at Underwood Dental Care, we also provide an in-chair whitening system with more instantaneous results.

Our Pola Office whitening gel, an Australian made professional strength whitening system, is applied onto your teeth after a professional clean. The gel also contains glycerine and highly purified water to prevent tooth dehydration and to further ensure safety.

With this procedure a specifically designed lamp is also used. This light is an LED which is perfectly safe for tooth enamel, skin, gums, and other soft tissues. It emits virtually no heat or harmful UV radiation as some other whitening systems may do.

The Pola Office whitening system produces a more instant result, with your teeth being whitened by 6-12 shades in just 45 minutes.
