A beautiful smile boosts confidence! Let your best shine with a radiant and confident smile with us.

A bright, sparkling smile is often considered essential to overall personal attractiveness. While countless over-the-counter products and DIY remedies are promising whiter teeth, the safest and most effective teeth whitening method remains under a dental professional’s supervision

Your teeth can naturally become stained and discoloured from the foods and drinks you consume every day. Even if you brush your teeth twice daily and use mouthwash regularly, keeping your teeth pure white is not guaranteed. This is why we recommend considering our professional teeth whitening solutions at Albury Wodonga Orthodontics to help reverse the appearance of discoloured teeth.

Whay Professional Dental Whitening?

Whitening your teeth in a dental practice offers a range of benefits that at-home treatments cannot match. Dental professionals are trained to assess each patient’s specific needs and can tailor the treatment to ensure safety and maximum effectiveness. Unlike over-the-counter products, professional dental whitening procedures are supervised and consider the patient’s oral health.

Here are the advantages of selecting a professional teeth whitening services at Albury-Wodonga Orthodontics:

1) Safety First: Protecting Your Oral Health

One of the primary reasons professional teeth whitening is the safest option is the level of oversight and expertise dental professionals provide. They can evaluate your oral health and determine the most suitable whitening approach for you. This personalised approach minimises the risk of adverse effects and ensures the procedure is tailored to your needs.

2) Risk of Over-The-Counter Products

Over-the-counter products, including whitening strips, gels, and trays, may seem convenient, but they have potential risks. With professional guidance, individuals may be well-informed about the possible side effects or the correct usage of these products. This can lead to overuse, which may damage tooth enamel and cause gum irritation and tooth sensitivity.

3) Affordable

The teeth whitening cost is affordable for most people because teeth whitening is not a time-intensive dental procedure. It is just an affordable cleaning and bleaching procedure, even without insurance. Besides, most dental insurance policies consider professional teeth whitening a cosmetic process, so they likely won’t cover it.

4) Proven Safe and Effective

Professional teeth whitening treatments are proven safe and effective for your teeth and gums, with no risky dental surgery or procedure to worry you.

5) Fast and Easy

Our dentist can clean and prepare your teeth for whitening quickly. Teeth whitening doesn’t take a lot of time to get done and there won’t be any downtime afterwards, either.

6) The Professional Procedure

The first step in professional smile beautification is thoroughly examining your oral health. This allows the dental professional to identify any underlying oral health issues that may need to be addressed before the whitening procedure. Once your oral health is assessed and deemed suitable for whitening, the dentist will discuss available options and recommend the most appropriate method for your needs.

Professional dental whitening treatments often utilise a higher concentration of whitening agents than over-the-counter products, which means results are achieved more quickly and effectively. Moreover, the professional procedure typically involves using protective barriers to shield the gums and other sensitive oral tissues from the active agents, reducing the risk of irritation.

7) Post-Treatment Care and Advice

Following the whitening procedure, your dental professional will provide post-treatment care instructions, including guidance on preventing tooth sensitivity and maintaining your newly brightened smile. Professional dental practices may also offer custom-fitted take-home trays for touch-ups, allowing you to keep your results safe and effective.

8) Informed Decision-Making

Choosing a professionally managed protocol empowers individuals to make an informed decision about their oral health. Dental professionals can educate patients about the process, potential risks, and expected outcomes, enabling patients to proceed with confidence and peace of mind.

9) Patient-Centric Approach

Professional dental practices prioritise patient safety, satisfaction, and long-term oral health. This patient-centric approach ensures that the individual’s needs and concerns are at the forefront of the smile improvement process, resulting in a safer and more satisfying experience.

Teeth Whitening FAQ's

Is There a Best Way to Whiten Teeth?

For discerning health-conscious patients looking for the best ways to whiten teeth, you will only find those solutions at a licensed dental practice like ours. Unfortunately, many cosmetic companies promote over-the-counter products that do not consider your unique needs and produce lacklustre results at best.

Are Teeth Whitening Toothpastes Safe?

Some toothpaste products are formulated with compounds to improve the whiteness of your teeth by removing minor stains that are still new and fresh. However, they cannot work miracles by removing deep stains on the surface which have been there a long time.

Colgate Total Whitening Toothpaste or Opalescence Teeth Whitening are two good choices.

Important Warning:

These products are produced to have a long shelf life and contain many chemicals that could potentially harm your health when used regularly.
