The Brightest Solutions That Will Make Your Smile Shine
Whitening your teeth isn’t just about vanity; it can actually be a very good idea from a health standpoint. Mainstream dentistry has since moved away from the idea that whiter teeth are inherently healthier teeth, but that doesn’t mean there’s no relationship. A whiter smile can make teeth appear healthier and more straight, and there are both professional whitening procedures and at-home kits available, with varying success rates. If you’re interested in trying out teeth whitening, here are the basics you need to know.

What Happens During Teeth Whitening Treatment?
We all desire beautiful and white teeth that can be flashed with complete confidence. So how to go about turning this dream into reality? Teeth whitening is the best choice to flash those pearly whites, and here we take you through what is teeth whitening treatment in Byford all about.
- Consultation: The teeth are checked to look for worn enamels, cavities, gingivitis, or any exposed tooth roots. The dentist will then assist with the right steps to follow to cure the problems before proceeding with the teeth whitening treatment.
- The mouth is prepared- A rubber dental dam is used to ensure that only the desired area gets treated. It will also ensure that the lips and the cheek do not come in contact with the bleach.
- Application of the bleach: The teeth whitening product contains hydrogen peroxide. The whitening gel used by the dentist has a strong hydrogen peroxide content, which will be applied carefully with a timer.
- Laser beam ready – A laser beam helps to make your teeth white faster. Most dentists use the laser to add an accelerant. You will be asked to wear a protective kit, and the laser treatment is started.
FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening
How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost?
The whitening treatment lasts around an hour and stays for around 18 months. The treatment for teeth whitening in Byford would usually be priced around $260 for each tooth. This is for the in-chair bleaching. For a take-home teeth whitening kit, it will cost $610 per tooth.
What's Better For Me, In-chair Teeth Whitening Or Take-home Teeth Whitening Kit?
The take-home whitening kit takes a mould of the teeth, and a custom-fitted whitening tray is made. Bleaching materials are filled into syringes, and this gets dispensed in the whitening tray. The tray has to be worn for 2 weeks in the daytime or at night as per the instruction.
The In-chair whitening treatment is done in the clinic to offer instant results and takes almost an hour. Strong gel and laser treatment are used to whiten the teeth. However, this is more sensitive than the former.
If you are short on time, then in-chair whitening is the best option for you. If you can commit yourself to daily usage of the whitening trays, then the in-home whitening kits should be your choice.
It is mostly based on your personal preferences and the Byford dentists' advice to choose the right treatment method.
Is Teeth Whitening Bad For Your Teeth?
If you stick to the methods suggested by the dentist, then teeth whitening is safe to do. Make sure to choose the method that best fits your needs.

Dr Alefia was very calming and explained everything thoroughly and in terms that was easily understood. Tanya at reception knew so much and helped with my claim and how to proceed with future appointments! She was so friendly and I now have nothing to fear when it comes to seeing a dentist.
