Professional Teeth Whitening Brisbane
Skygate Dental knows you are dedicated to oral hygiene and keeping your teeth healthy. Despite that, you recently noticed discoloration. It is crucial to note that it is perfectly normal. Discoloration occurs over time, and it is caused by the food and drinks that you consume. Whiter teeth can give you a confident smile. Skygate Dental professional teeth whitening can provide in-chair and whitening trays for your whitening process resulting in a brighter smile.
While at home teeth whitening is helpful, whitening teeth should be discussed with dental professionals.
Before you start looking for the professional teeth whitening Brisbane city offers, here is what you should know about the process and how to obtain your radiant smile.
HOW DO WHITENING PRODUCTS REMOVE STAINS IN THE TOOTH?
Whitening products have one of two active ingredients, either hydrogen peroxide gel or carbamide peroxide. So both can cause a chemical reaction below the enamel that breaks apart the carbon bonds that cause those yellow stains. As a result, these bonds are broken. Consequently, they are no longer able to reflect a yellow colour. Skygate Dental professionals provide professional teeth whitening treatment.
The teeth whitening dentist will apply a concentration of carbamide or hydrogen peroxide (20-43%) on the tooth enamel and monitor the process to ensure the whitening treatment is progressing.
ARE DENTAL TEETH WHITENING SAFE?
Hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide are very powerful chemicals, and all teeth whitening procedures should be performed with great care. Because some whitening products with a high concentration can irritate your gums and cause undue sensitivity if used improperly.
The safest way to whiten your teeth is under the guidance of an oral health professional, your dentist. As it is important to assess your overall oral health condition and to safely and properly provide treatment that will provide the desired results. Skygate Dental provides the safest teeth whitening treatments. Professional teeth whitening ensures care of the gums and tooth enamel giving you whiter teeth and a brighter smile.
WHAT CAUSES TEETH DISCOLOURATION?
Dentist experts recognise multiple factors as causes of teeth discolouration. Teeth yellowing is frequently an ageing sign, not that different from grey hair.
That happens because time thins the enamel, while dentin gets darker. The yellowish colour is because of the dentin visible through the enamel.
We can divide other factors into intrinsic (internal dentin discolouration) and extrinsic (outside discolouration). Intrinsic staining involves hitting a tooth or falling on it, overexposure to fluoride while you are a child, mercury and amalgam feelings, cavities, and genetics.
Extrinsic staining includes eating food that leaves stains without maintaining decent oral hygiene, as well as drinking beverages like red wine, coffee, and tea. Smoking can also have a significant effect on staining your teeth.
CAN TEETH WHITENING HELP YOU?
Yes, teeth whitening works, but it is essential to pick a method that suits your situation. That is why you speak with experts on teeth whitening client consult, who will assess your teeth and recommend a suitable treatment for that radiant smile.
Depending on your requirements, it is possible to apply extrinsic and intrinsic whitening. Extrinsic methods focus on removing the stains on the outer tooth section called enamel.
You can use charcoal toothpaste for a whitening effect, or schedule a professional cleaning treatment.
However, all extrinsic methods only expose the inner tooth colour.
If you need to work on whitening the dentin, you will need to resort to intrinsic whitening methods. These might include using a specialised bleach or gel that will make your teeth lighter.
WHAT TEETH WHITENING OPTIONS DO WE HAVE?
The most common home teeth whitening method is using specialised rinses and toothpaste. These include abrasives focused on eliminating stains from your teeth. However, their effect is limited, and they can only work on surface stains. It is important you choose the whitening solution that best suits you. Skygate Dental is a dental professional whitening service we are proud to offer.
Whitening toothpaste will take some time to increase your teeth's whiteness by a single shade or two. Additionally, the effects are not that long-lasting, which means stains could appear again soon.
You can also use whitening strips. Gels based on hydrogen peroxide coat these strips, and you need to use them for two weeks. You will need to apply them twice every week, and each therapy lasts 30 minutes.
The problem with strips is that they are designed for people that have a perfectly straight smile. Turned or overlapping teeth might cause uneven treatments, which means the results will hardly be satisfying.
The most effective method to use by yourself includes whitening trays. The treatment involves wearing trays for multiple weeks at least 30 minutes per day. If they are not uncomfortable, you can wear them overnight for a better effect. Professional teeth whitening treatments with trays are Skygate Dental teeth whitening Brisbane services we provide.
OTC trays can be uncomfortable and expensive. If a dentist recommends this treatment, they could design a tray that will be tailored to your teeth through our professional teeth whitening services.
WHY ARE PROFESSIONAL TEETH WHITENING COST-EFFECTIVE?
While at-home methods can help, visiting a professional is a quick way to get visible whitening results in just one appointment giving you a brighter smile. The best teeth whitening is through professional teeth whitening treatments. Skygate Dental professionals monitor for tooth sensitivity, protecting tooth enamel whist providing the best tooth whitening.
Dentists are equipped for these treatments, and they can use a generous quantity of whitening substances. While they are treating your teeth, they make sure your gums remain protected for the best teeth whitening experience.

IS IT NATURAL FOR MY TEETH TO BE SENSITIVE AFTER A WHITENING TREATMENT?
Yes, you could say that this is a “side effect” of whitening sessions. That happens because the substance used in the process causes short-term teeth and gum irritation. The sensitivity shouldn't last for more than 24-36 hours since your teeth naturally re-hydrate. Teeth whitening results will be immediate whilst the pain will subside quickly after your whitening process. Is the actual teeth whitening painful? No, Skygate Dental in office teeth whitening is an easy process giving you whiter teeth.
No special precautions are needed, but you can take a painkiller (Ibuprofen) if you feel that is necessary. Tooth sensitivity from whitening your teeth can generally be mitigated by utilizing toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth.
WILL TEETH WHITENING WORK ON MY CROWNS AND VENEERS?
If you have veneers, caps, fillings, and crowns, please note that teeth whitening won't have any effect on them. The reason is simple – they are not your natural teeth!
If you notice that your crowns are too different from your natural teeth' colour, it might be time to replace them at your local dental clinic. If you need to reduce your teeth whitening cost, you can change the colour of your natural teeth to match the veneers.
Additionally, if your teeth are grey, the odds are you are dealing with a cavity or another problem. That is why you should consider treatments that resolve the underlying cause before a whitening treatment.
The good news is that the best experts in teeth whitening usually offer an all-around service to ensure your teeth are healthy and beautiful!
HOW TO PREVENT TEETH STAINS?
Here is what you can do to prevent or minimise stains on your teeth:
- A balanced diet – Try to avoid sugar and process carbs. Instead, focus on fruits, veggies, lean meat, and fish. If you are drinking dark teas, coffee, or red wine, using mouthwash is recommended before you head to bed
- Regular teeth brushing – Try to brush your teeth as soon as you get up, and before you head to bed. Additionally, you can brush them after a meal that included unhealthy foods
- Flossing – Flossing might be even more important than brushing. It is the best way of removing food residue from your mouth, which is the first step in dealing with cavities
HOW FREQUENTLY SHOULD I WHITEN MY TEETH?
Depending on your teeth and the treatment used, the results could last from several months to a couple of years. You can prolong the effects with a healthy lifestyle, a balanced diet, and adequate oral hygiene. The dental professional team at Skygate Dental can discuss how often to whiten teeth for your whiter smile and good oral hygiene.
