Over the course of your life, there will be many factors that can affect the aesthetic appearance of your teeth. Teeth staining or yellow teeth are a common issue that you may experience despite otherwise having healthy teeth and gums. Although poor oral hygiene is the main cause of yellow or stained teeth there are also many other factors that can have an effect on the colour of your teeth. Stains can be intrinsic or extrinsic. Intrinsic stains are those which may have been caused by underlying dental issues or an injury to your tooth whilst extrinsic stains are those that are on the surface of your teeth and can be removed by teeth whitening procedures here at Brisbane Laser Dentist.
Teeth whitening is easier than ever thanks to advances in cosmetic dentistry. You can whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home or under the supervision of your dentist here at Brisbane laser dentist. We will assess your dental health to make sure that teeth whitening is suitable for you and you may wish to have a teeth whitening session at the practice itself or we can prescribe a home whitening kit so that you can whiten your teeth gradually over a short period of time.
Teeth whitening at home
Teeth whitening is carried out using a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide in the form of teeth whitening gel. Our home teeth whitening kits are made up of low concentrations of whitening agents, approximately 15% carbamide peroxide, which equates to approximately 5% hydrogen peroxide. Home whitening kits consist of a day gel that you use for a short amount of time during the day and a night gel that you wear overnight. You will be given an individually tailored dental tray that is designed to fit your teeth accurately. The gel is placed into the tray and worn in your mouth so that it can work on the surfaces of your teeth without causing any discomfort. It is important that you adhere to the guidelines to prevent any adverse effects as overexposure to the bleaching agents may result in sensitivity and other dental issues whilst underexposure may not achieve the results that you are hoping for. You can visit your dentist during the treatment process to make sure that it is coming along successfully.
