What is Professional Teeth Whitening Mooloolaba?
Understanding the Whitening Treatment
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental procedure that brightens your teeth for a more attractive smile. It involves the application of whitening gel with bleaching agents to break down stains and discoloration on the tooth enamel and dentin. Professional teeth whitening Mooloolaba procedures offer patients a brighter and more confident smile.
Types of Staining: Extrinsic and Intrinsic
Extrinsic staining results from external factors like tea, coffee, red wine, and smoking, while intrinsic staining occurs naturally with age as the tooth’s nerve deposits more protein. Professional teeth whitening Mooloolaba treatments effectively address yellowing and discolouration caused by aging, dietary choices, smoking, and poor dental hygiene.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening Mooloolaba
Benefits of In-Office Whitening vs. At-Home Treatments
Professional teeth whitening Mooloolaba is safer, more effective, and longer-lasting compared to over-the-counter whitening trays. Dental professionals utilise higher concentrations of whitening agents that deliver superior results while ensuring proper protection of the mouth during treatment.
Importance of Oral Health in Teeth Whitening
A full dental check-up with a local dentist is necessary before starting a professional teeth whitening treatment to detect potential dental problems. Good oral health is essential for the success of professional teeth whitening Mooloolaba treatment.
The Professional Teeth Whitening Mooloolaba Process
Consultation and Assessment
The professional teeth whitening Mooloolaba process begins with a consultation to assess dental health and identify any issues. The dentist identifies any oral health issues that may need to be addressed before proceeding with the whitening treatment.
The Whitening Procedure
The bleaching process involves applying a whitening agent that usually contains hydrogen peroxide to the teeth. The dentist applies a protective substance to the gums to avoid gum irritation from the whitening product.
Aftercare and Results
Aftercare and Results: Following treatment, your dentist offers essential guidance to maintain the longevity of your whitening results. They provide advice on avoiding foods and beverages that may stain teeth, ensuring your smile stays vibrant. While tooth sensitivity is normal during the healing process, it’s a temporary aspect of achieving a brighter smile. Enhance your self-confidence with a radiant smile that lasts.

Frequently asked questions
Things to note before whitening your teeth
-
Fillings, crowns and veneers do not change colour with whitening. If you have these in the aesthetic zone and would like to proceed with whitening, these will need to be replaced after whitening.
-
If you have sensitive teeth, whitening will make your teeth more sensitive during and for a period after whitening. Exposed root surfaces may not whiten and are more susceptible to sensitivity. Using sensitive toothpaste and tooth mousse can help with the sensitivity.
-
Not all teeth can be whitened with whitening, see below for more information!
-
Teeth whitening is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
-
To achieve the best results, avoid dark foods and drinks and tobacco while whitening and for a short period after.
-
Teeth will darken again with time and will need whitening periodically to maintain the brightness.
What are the causes of tooth discolouration and can whitening help?
Extrinsic stains:
These are stains that build up on the surface of our teeth. These stains usually occur from our daily food and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine, soft drinks or from smoking cigarettes or cigars.
Most of these stains can be removed during your six monthly check and cleans before they are absorbed into your teeth. However, if left untreated, these stains can penetrate deeper into your teeth, becoming more difficult to remove and may require professional teeth whitening Mooloolaba treatments.
Intrinsic stains:
• As mentioned above, stains that accumulate on the surface of your teeth that are not removed over a long period of time can absorb into your teeth becoming intrinsic stains. Whitening will be able to help these stains.
• Medications: The most common medication causing staining is tetracycline that is taken when your teeth are forming. This causes a permanent banded brown, grey or yellow discolouration in teeth. These stains are very very difficult to remove with whitening and if whitening is unsuccessful veneers or crowns can be done to cover up the teeth.
• Fluorosis or hypoplasia: Excessive fluoride ingested when teeth are forming can cause white spots in mild cases or roughened brown or black areas in teeth in severe cases. Mild cases may improve with teeth whitening in combination with tooth mousse application, occasionally there may be initial worsening with the white spots becoming brighter. In severe cases, whitening may not be able to help and veneers or crowns may be required.
Age:
As we grow older, our enamel thins out and the underlying yellow dentine shows through. Wear from grinding, excessive tooth brushing especially with hard tooth brushes and whitening tooth pastes can exacerbate the thinning of enamel making the underlying dentine more visible.
Dental factors:
White spot lesions develop when minerals leach from teeth due to poor oral hygiene or diet. This is the start of a cavity. Whitening will not be able to correct these lesions.
A single dark tooth is because the tooth can be due to a dead tooth or a root canal treated tooth. For root canal treated teeth, a different procedure called internal bleaching can be done, if not a veneer or crown can be placed to cover up the dark tooth.
