Teeth Whitening

Professional Teeth Whitening in Heathmont, Melbourne

Everyone loves a happy bright smile, especially the staff at Heathmont Dental. We love to see our patients smiling confidently, and teeth whitening is a popular method for improving the look of stained or dull coloured teeth.

Before we brighten your teeth, we want to make sure you have a healthy smile too, and not just a bright smile. That’s why we suggest that you have a general check-up and clean before commencing on a teeth whitening programme.

Teeth whitening method for take home whitening kits

Take home whitening kits provide convenience and are cost effective for whitening your teeth at home.

• Firstly we will take an impression of your teeth, which will then be used to make a customised silicone mould. The mould will exactly fit the shape of your teeth.
• The mould is part of the kit that you take home with you. You will also be given a tube of whitening gel, which is applied to the inside of the mould before inserting the mould over your teeth.
• We will advise you of the frequency and length of time to wear the mould while you are at home. Generally it is 15 minutes per whitening session.
• With the at home teeth whitening kit, all you need to do is replenish the whitening gel as needed. The moulds should last you for years, giving you the freedom to whiten your teeth as needed, without a visit to your dentist.

Regular dental visits are recommended to ensure the good health of your overall dental hygiene.
