It Starts With a Smile.

Professional teeth whitening vs. supermarket products

Over time, your teeth will begin to stain and yellow a few shades, this occurs due to a number of different lifestyle and physiological reasons including drinking tea and coffee, smoking and even eating certain foods. Whilst it seems tempting to purchase supermarket whitening products that are advertised over the media you should consider some benefits of having professional teeth whitening done at your regular dental practice.

Supermarket products are missing some key ingredients in effectively whitening your teeth, whilst they may make your teeth a shade or two whiter for a few days, these products only remove surface stains – this means that the yellow dentine tint of your teeth will still shine through.  Beauty salons and private whitening entities have recently been promoting teeth whitening, but it is important to note that they are not properly trained in teeth whitening and as regulated by the TGA(Therapeutic Good Administration & ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission)are not allowed to sell or provide high concentrations of bleaching agents in comparison to dental practitioners.

At Concord Dental Practice we provide a variety of CLINICALLY PROVEN teeth whitening products and options which can fit into a busy lifestyle and budget!  These options include customized take home whitening kits and in-chair teeth whitening using the ‘Philips Zoom!’ system. These whitening methods can make your teeth up to 8 shades whiter whilst having the peace of mind that your whitening is being administered by a professionally trained dentist. Having teeth whitening treatment under the supervision of a dental professional can decrease the amount of sensitivity during and following the procedure, reduce the chance of burning your gums and they are able to provide you with the most current post –whitening care instructions and how to keep your teeth looking whiter for longer!
