Tooth Whitening


Tooth whitening is proven safe and effective to improve the whiteness of your smile.
2 types of whitening are available, and currently Ascot Vale Smiles is offering home tooth whitening:
Take home tooth whitening
- Individual customised gel trays are fabricated
- Patients are given the whitening gel and trays to use at home, with instructions
- Some gels are used 1 hour nightly, other gels may be used overnight
- The teeth improve in colour over the course of 2-3 weeks
In office tooth whitening
- Teeth are isolated to protect the lips, gums and soft tissue
- A strong version of whitening gel is professionally applied in the dental chair
- Over the duration of 1-2 hours, multiple applications of the whitening gel is applied
Tooth whitening is only safe to use on patients who have had a thorough exam and medical history check. The examination will determine your suitability for tooth whitening. A common but temporary side affect is sensitive teeth during and shortly after tooth whitening is performed.
