Teeth Whitening

A brighter smile can help you feel more confident when you're catching up with friends, attending a special event or simply smiling for everyday moments. At Radiance Dentistry, we offer professional teeth whitening tailored to your individual needs. Our staff speaks English, Spanish, Serbian, Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese. 

Before recommending treatment, we'll assess your oral health, discuss your goals and determine if teeth whitening is a suitable option for you.

Many people searching online ask questions, such as:  

  • What is the safest way to whiten my teeth?
  • How long does professional teeth whitening last?
  • Am I a suitable candidate for teeth whitening?

What Causes Tooth Stains?

Tooth discolouration is common and can happen for many reasons. Some stains develop on the surface of the teeth, while others occur within the tooth structure over time.

Common causes include:

  • Coffee, tea and red wine
  • Smoking and tobacco use
  • Certain foods and drinks with strong pigments
  • Ageing and natural wear of tooth enamel
  • Some medications or previous dental trauma

During your consultation, we'll identify the likely cause of your tooth discolouration and discuss the treatment options that may be appropriate for your smile.

Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

With so many over-the-counter whitening products available, it can be difficult to know which option is right for you. Choosing professional teeth whitening means your treatment begins with a thorough dental assessment and is tailored to your individual oral health, goals and the cause of your tooth discolouration. Your dentist can also answer your questions, monitor your progress and recommend the most appropriate approach for your smile. Some of the benefits of professional teeth whitening include:
Personalised Treatment
No two smiles are the same. Your dentist will assess your teeth, existing restorations and oral health before recommending a whitening treatment that is appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Professional Supervision
Professional whitening is provided under the guidance of your dental team. Throughout the process, your dentist can monitor your comfort, provide aftercare advice and discuss any concerns that arise during treatment.
Ongoing Support
Your dentist can explain the factors that may influence your outcome, discuss realistic expectations and recommend other cosmetic treatment options if whitening alone is unlikely to achieve your desired result.

Our In-Chair Teeth Whitening in Leichhardt, NSW

If you're looking for a professionally supervised whitening treatment, in-chair teeth whitening, such as the Philips Zoom!® system, may be an appropriate option.

Before Treatment 

Before treatment begins, your dentist will examine your teeth and gums to determine if whitening is suitable for your oral health and discuss your goals and expectations. 

During Treatment

During your appointment, we place a protective barrier on your lips and gums before applying the professional whitening gel to your teeth. Depending on the whitening system used, we may use a specialised LED light to activate the whitening gel and assist the treatment process. We complete the treatment while you relax comfortably in the dental chair, and your dentist will monitor your progress throughout the appointment.

After Treatment

Following treatment, your dentist will provide personalised aftercare instructions, including advice on foods and drinks that may temporarily stain your teeth while they settle. Some patients may also experience temporary tooth sensitivity after whitening, although this varies from person to person and often resolves over time.

Your dentist may recommend combining in-chair whitening with a custom take-home whitening kit to help maintain your results, depending on your individual circumstances.

Disclaimer: Professional teeth whitening is not suitable for everyone. Treatment recommendations, suitability and results vary among individuals based on factors such as oral health, the cause of tooth discolouration, and individual circumstances.
