Many of us want whiter, brighter smiles – but what’s the best way to achieve it? At smilogy, we believe it’s custom tray whitening, as this ensures that smiles are whitened safely, quickly and evenly.
Here’s an overview of all the different kinds of teeth whitening, and what to expect.
You can find teeth whitening strips in stores across Australia. They’re easy to apply – simply put the whitening strips across the top and bottom rows of teeth respectively.
This method is cheap and convenient, and you can see results in just three days. However, it’s only advised for moderate staining and since it’s a one-size-fits-all approach, you won’t get to choose your shade and results may not be even.
whitening toothpaste
Toothpastes with whitening agents in them work over time to make your smile shine brighter. You won’t see results straight away, but you might see a difference gradually.
This isn’t the best choice for “wow” results, but it can be great as a top-up or if you want something more subtle.
laser bleaching
Laser whitening is a relatively new development. The lasers help to activate the whitening agents, while your mouth is protected from them. You may see results right away after your treatment, and it’s generally super fast.
Not everyone is suitable for this kind of procedure as it’s not recommended for everyone.
in-chair led whitening
Some people go to their dentist for in-chair LED whitening. They add hydrogen peroxide gel to your teeth, and it’s then broken down by an LED heat lamp. Oxygen attacks your enamel and gets rid of any stains.
Some people experience sensitivity after this kind of whitening.
