Teeth Whitening in Dubbo
Many people hesitate to smile when their teeth feel dull, stained or yellowed. Whitening may reduce surface stains and improve the appearance of your grin. With modern whitening systems and a thoughtful approach, we help you brighten your smile in a way that feels natural and comfortable.
What Causes the Discolouration?
Over time, the things you consume and your habits can leave marks on enamel. Coffee, tea, red wine, berries, strong-coloured sauces or smoking are common culprits. Ageing also plays a role as the enamel thins and the dentine beneath becomes more visible. Whitening acts on the enamel layer to lighten its appearance, though it won’t change the shade of crowns, veneers or composite fillings.
Which Options Are Available
You’ll typically choose between two paths, depending on your preference, schedule and sensitivity:
In-Chair Whitening
This method is completed in a single appointment, using a higher-concentration bleaching gel under controlled conditions with protective barriers. You’ll often see an immediate brightening effect.
Take-Home Trays
Custom-made trays are provided for you to use at home. You apply the recommended gel over successive days or weeks, working at your own pace.
Your dentist evaluates your dental health first and then determines the best approach for you, taking into account your specific circumstances.
What to Expect During the Zoom! Process
First, we perform a thorough exam and cleaning to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and ready. If there are cavities, gum issues or decayed fillings, those will need correction before the procedure. Once cleared, your session can proceed.
We isolate and protect your gums, apply the bleaching gel, then monitor progress in controlled stages. The in-chair process typically involves multiple short applications during a single visit.
For take-home whitening, we provide precise instructions for safe and gradual use at home. Some mild sensitivity or gum tingling may occur temporarily; your dentist will guide you on how to manage that.
Maintaining Your Brightened Smile
After whitening, your teeth may gradually regain slight staining due to lifestyle habits.
Here’s how to preserve results:
- Brush gently with a nonabrasive toothpaste and floss daily
- Use your take-home trays for occasional top-up sessions
- Minimise intake of strong-staining foods/drinks (coffee, red wine, berries) right after treatment
- Keep up with regular checkups and cleans
Most people maintain noticeably whiter teeth for months to a few years, depending on habits and upkeep.
