Teeth Whitening

Why Teeth Change Colour Over Time
Tooth discolouration generally falls into two categories, and understanding the difference matters for setting realistic expectations about whitening outcomes.
Extrinsic stains form on the outer surface of the tooth. These are typically caused by regular consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking. Because they sit on the enamel surface, extrinsic stains often respond well to whitening treatment.
Intrinsic stains are located within the tooth structure itself. These may develop as a result of ageing, certain medications, genetics, or previous dental treatment. Intrinsic discolouration can be more resistant to whitening, and results may vary depending on the cause and severity. The team at B Dental can assess the reason for your tooth colour and advise on the most appropriate path forward.
Whitening Treatment Option
At B Dental, we offer professional take home teeth whitening as a convenient and effective way to achieve a brighter smile. This treatment includes custom-made whitening trays, individually designed to fit your teeth comfortably and precisely, along with a professional-strength whitening gel.
The trays are worn at home for a prescribed period each day allowing the whitening process to occur gradually over several weeks. This option is ideal for patients who prefer the flexibility of whitening in the comfort of their own home while still benefiting from professional dental supervision.
We have helped many patients achieve excellent whitening results with our take-home system, providing a safe, reliable, and affordable way to enhance their smile. If you would like to learn more about take-home teeth whitening or find out whether it is right for you, contact the friendly team at B Dental on (03) 9842 2658 to book your consultation today.
What to Expect at Your Whitening Appointments
Your whitening journey at B Dental typically follows these steps:
- A dental assessment is carried out to evaluate the health of your teeth and gums before any whitening treatment begins.
- Your dentist discusses your goals, notes the current shade of your teeth, and advises on which treatment type may suit your needs.
- Any necessary preparatory steps are completed, such as a professional clean if required.
- Your custom take home kit is prepared and fitted.
- Aftercare advice is provided, including foods and drinks to avoid and how to maintain your results.
Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?
This treatment may be suitable for most healthy adult patients. It tends to work best when teeth and gums are in good general health before treatment starts.
Some patients are encouraged to consult with their dentist before proceeding. These may include patients who experience existing tooth sensitivity, patients who have crowns or veneers in visible smile areas (as whitening agents do not affect dental restorations), and patients who are pregnant. A pre-treatment assessment helps ensure the approach is appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Professional Whitening vs. Over-the-Counter Kits
Professional teeth whitening delivers results that supermarket kits generally cannot match. The key differences come down to the concentration of the whitening agent used, the level of customisation, and the clinical supervision involved throughout the process.
Over-the-counter kits use lower-strength formulas that may produce limited results and can sometimes cause uneven whitening or gum irritation when trays do not fit properly. With professional treatment at B Dental, the approach is tailored to your teeth, and a qualified dentist monitors the process to help minimise sensitivity and achieve a more consistent result.
Common Questions About Teeth Whitening
How Long Do Results Last?
Results vary depending on lifestyle and maintenance, but whitening may last up to 24 months or more for some patients. Avoiding staining foods and drinks and scheduling periodic touch-ups can help extend the outcome.
Does Teeth Whitening Cause Sensitivity?
Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity during or after treatment. This is a common and typically short-lived response. Your dentist can advise on ways to minimise discomfort, particularly if you have pre-existing sensitivity.
Can I Whiten My Teeth if I Have Crowns or Veneers?
Whitening agents do not change the colour of dental restorations such as crowns or veneers. If you have restorations in visible areas of your smile, it is worth discussing this with your dentist before proceeding, as natural teeth and restorations may whiten at different rates.
What Should I Avoid After Whitening?
In the period immediately following treatment, it is generally recommended to avoid strongly coloured foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine, and tomato-based sauces. Your dentist will provide specific aftercare guidance based on the treatment you receive.
How Is Professional Whitening Different From Supermarket Kits?
Professional whitening uses higher-concentration agents applied under clinical supervision, with custom-fitted trays that reduce the risk of gum irritation. Supermarket kits use lower-strength formulas and generic trays, which may produce less consistent results.
