Teeth whitening is a process of removing stains from the tooth surface and restoring the natural color of the teeth. Whitening is a one-time procedure performed by a dentist. It is amongst the most common and widely adopted procedure. With the advent of the latest Dental technology, we have advanced whitening treatment procedures which give reliable and long-lasting results.

There is a misconception many of us share, that teeth get yellow only through factors like neglect, irregular care and tobacco use. The truth is that as we age, our adult teeth gradually become yellow or stained due to a variety of commonplace reasons. They could be discoloured by antibiotics, genetics or certain acidic foods, and sometimes naturally have a more gray shade due to early tooth decay or illness while the tooth was forming.

At Penrith Dentistree, we bring you the best dentist-supervised systems, which will not only remove stains, but also help in restoring lost tooth structure and create a more pleasing smile.

There are many reasons why your teeth can become discoloured

• Drinking tea, coffee or red wine
• Food with strong colourings
• Smoking
• The natural act of aging
• A tooth that is damaged by trauma
• Some teeth are naturally pigmented or stained as they develop
• Certain medications

While undergoing the whitening process, it’s common for teeth to become more sensitive. However, it’s important to note that this sensitivity typically diminishes once the treatment concludes. Our experienced team at Penrith Dentistree ensures a comfortable experience, and any temporary sensitivity is carefully monitored and managed to guarantee your overall well-being throughout the entire process.

The results can last for a number of years although may need retouching every 6-12 months. Drinking red wine, coffee, tea and smoking will likely mean teeth-whitening treatment is needed more frequently.

The cost of teeth whitening might vary greatly depending on the product and technique used. In addition, it also depends on the condition of your teeth. The dentists at Penrith Dentistree would be able to give you an estimate after a complete evaluation of your teeth and smile.

Patients may complain of sensitivity, blotches on gums etc. after whitening procedure, but these are temporary and disappear with time. If persist, consult your dentist.
