The great news is that it’s definitely possible! In fact, teeth whitening is the number one cosmetic service provided by Australian dentists right now. And, better still, there are many, many different ways you can achieve the result you’re after.
Having a whiter, brighter smile is an amazing confidence booster. At Dentist Mandy, our belief is that we all deserve to love our smiles and enjoy sharing them too! It’s something we help our clients to achieve every day through a variety of ways.
If you’re interested in removing stains from your teeth, whitening your smile by a few shades or upping the intensity of your smile’s brightness, read on a little as we discuss our latest take-home teeth whitening kits and whitening products.
And, if you’d like to take a deeper dive into what causes teeth discolouration and what can be done to avoid it, you may want to take a look at our blog Teeth Whitening – What You Need to Know.
One thing we know for sure is that teeth whitening isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. There are a range of different ways to lighten your teeth and bring them back to a more natural shade. Some involve natural pastes and products, others use gels, or light to help you get the best, bright smile.
Whether you need a treatment on the go, or are prepared to put some time in at home, there is a teeth whitening kit which will address your needs.
What it is: Pola Light is an Australian made, highly advanced take home tooth whitening system we’re thrilled with! It features an LED mouthpiece for a safe, fast teeth whitening treatment and award winning whitening gel.
Who we recommend it to: People who are after a quick result (think 5 days to brighter teeth). People who are prepared to commit to two 10-15 minute treatments daily at home.
How it works: The LED mouthpiece is portable, rechargeable, comfortable to wear and cordless. But most of all – it’s simple to use. Simply apply the whitening gel to the mouthpiece with the syringe supplied and pop it into your mouth for the required period. It’s that easy!
The Pola whitening gel breaks down into water and oxygen ions once applied to your teeth. These oxygen ions enter the enamel, lifting the stain molecules. Just how white your teeth become is related to the number of oxygen ions available and the length of time they are on your teeth.
What’s in the kit:
The Pola Light kit includes:
Why we love it:
Pola is locally manufactured and internationally recognised for setting the benchmark for effective teeth whitening. And, we love that Pola Light uses highly effective, but more soothing ingredients. It combines a higher water content, conditioners and calmative ingredients to assist in reducing sensitivity during treatment. Their high viscosity, neutral pH tooth whitening gels provide the best levels of comfort too!
When used under professional guidance, take home whitening systems can give you your desired shade within just a few days. This makes take home whitening kits ideal if you are wanting to whiten your teeth ahead of a special event.
Our take home whitening options include Pola Day HP 9.5%. This gel contains fluoride which protects your teeth from sensitivity and remineralises them at the same time. With this application, you do need to have professionally made customised whitening trays to maximise the whitening benefits.
If customised trays aren’t right for you, Opalescence Go pre-filled whitening trays might be a better fit for you. These trays are designed to conform to any smile – so there are no impressions or molds required. Ready to use straight out of the box, they contains potassium nitrate and fluoride as well as 15% hydrogen peroxide as the active ingredient to brighten your smile.
We’re here to help you choose the right teeth whitening treatment for you. As your dentist, we’ll be aware of your levels of sensitivity and can chat to you about what will fit best with your lifestyle.
Of course, we want to remind you that before you consider a whitening kit, you might want to spend a sec to think about what caused the discolouration of your teeth and address any changes you might need to make to ensure the whitening kit has the best chance of success!
But, when you’re ready to brighten your beautiful smile, reach out and we can find the perfect teeth whitening solution for you.
