• Different Options for Teeth Whitening at Dentists
  Doctors in Geelong
• Most of us are blessed with a bright white smile,
  but over time it is common for our teeth to lose
  their brightness and shine, becoming dull and
  discoloured. There are many reasons behind this
  change, such as inadequate oral hygiene,
  irregular dental visits, diet high consumption
  of coffee, tea and certain foods, lifestyle
  factors such as smoking and lastly wear due to
  aging. Regardless of the cause, having
  discoloured teeth can really affect ones
  confidence and in the image conscious era that we
  now live in, it is no surprise that Teeth
  Whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic
  procedures in dentistry today.
• The Many Different Options for a Brighter Smile
• There are many options now available for
  whitening teeth, from over-the-counter products
  to professional teeth whitening at dental
  clinics in Geelong. The primary the most common
  whitening agents used are hydrogen peroxide or
  carbamide peroxide, with the differences being
  in the concentration of the product, how it us
  used and the cost.
• Below are some of the most common options
  available over the counter and at Dentists
  Doctors.
• Teeth Whitening Toothpastes
• Regarded as the easiest and most accessible teeth
  whitening option, teeth whitening toothpastes
  contain mild abrasives that manually remove light
  surface stains on teeth. Some of these
  toothpastes also have special polishing agents
  that are intended to leave teeth looking
  brighter.
• Our Verdict
• As simple as this option is, it can be effective
  only for very mild stains. They do not
  whiten/bleach your teeth and start showing
  results only with regular usage. If you are
  looking for a dramatic transformation or have
  sensitive teeth, this option is not recommended
  for you.
• Teeth Whitening Strips

• You may find these available at your local
  supermarket or pharmacist. They are an
  affordable, convenient, and on-the-go alternative
  for teeth whitening. Being flexible, they can
  easily sit over the upper and lower rows of your
  teeth. Depending upon the strength of the
  whitening agent in the strip, it could take a few
  days or a week to show results.
• Our Verdict
• Whitening strips are affordable and work well for
  mild to moderate stains. However, the results
  are mild and vary significantly. As being an
  over-the-counter product, the concentration of
  the whitening agent is very low.
• Professional (In-Office) Teeth Whitening
• Professional in-chair whitening is by far one of
  the most popular cosmetic dental treatments at
  Dentists Doctors in Geelong. One of our dental
  clinicians will apply a high concentration of
  hydrogen peroxide on your teeth whilst you are
  seated in the dental chair. The entire process
  takes about 45-60 minutes, and is a relatively
  easy procedure, with gums, lips and areas of
  recession protected before you start treatment.
• It is highly recommended to have a professional
  dental exam and clean completed prior to your in
  chair teeth whitening session to achieve the best
  results.
• Our Verdict
• By far the safest and most efficient method for
  teeth whitening available in Geelong today. The
  best part with professional in-chair teeth
  whitening is the immediate and noticeable
  results achieved in just one sitting!
• Custom Take-Home Whitening Trays
• An option which can be used on its own or in
  conjunction with a professional in-chair teeth
  whitening session. A convenient and effective
  method of teeth whitening with different options
  with regards to the concentration of the
  whitening product and type of whitening agent
  used this is particularly useful for
  individuals with sensitive teeth. As they are
  customized to the patient, both the fit and the
  results are better than those available in
  generic whitening trays.
