Teeth Whitening

Brighten Your Smile at Mentone Smiles

If you’re unhappy with the colour of your teeth, Professional Teeth Whitening offers a safe, fast, and effective way to revitalise your smile. Teeth naturally become discoloured over time due to diet, lifestyle, and age, but there’s no reason to stay that way!

At Mentone Smiles, we offer professional teeth whitening treatments designed to lighten tooth discolouration. Unlike over-the-counter kits, our whitening options are provided as part of your dental care and can be tailored to your individual needs. Results vary depending on factors including the type and extent of staining and your individual dental health.

For those considering a personalised approach, teeth whitening can be combined with other cosmetic treatments, such as veneers or bonding, depending on your dental needs and treatment plan. Your dentist can discuss the available options and help determine which approach may be suitable for you.

Why Choose Professional Whitening Over DIY Kits?

While many products are available over the counter, only professional dental treatment can deliver the strength and safety needed for effective whitening.

Safety

Our clinicians protect your gums and soft tissues, minimising the risk of irritation and sensitivity.

Effectiveness

We use higher concentration gels that penetrate deeper to lift tough stains, delivering superior, predictable results.

Customisation

Our take-home kits feature trays custom-made for your mouth, ensuring the gel is applied evenly and correctly for uniform results.

FAQ's

Will it hurt or make my teeth sensitive?

Some patients experience temporary sensitivity during or immediately after the procedure. This is usually mild and subsides within 24 to 48 hours. We use desensitising agents and adjust treatment strength to manage any discomfort.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Yes, when performed under a dental professional’s supervision, teeth whitening is very safe. We use approved materials and techniques to protect your gums and maintain the health of your enamel.

How long does teeth whitening last?

The results are long-lasting but not permanent. Typically, a professionally whitened smile lasts between 1 and 3 years. The longevity depends on your diet and lifestyle, including factors such as coffee consumption, red wine intake, and smoking. We can provide top-up kits to maintain your brightness.

Does teeth whitening work on fillings or crowns?

No, the whitening gel only works on natural tooth structure. Existing fillings, Dental Crowns, and Veneers will not change colour. If you are planning significant cosmetic work, we recommend whitening your natural teeth first and then matching new restorations to your brightened shade.

What causes my teeth to become discoloured?

Teeth can become discoloured for various reasons, including natural ageing, the consumption of staining agents such as coffee, tea, and red wine, tobacco use, and certain medications. Professional whitening effectively targets these deep-set stains.

Can I whiten my teeth if I have sensitive teeth or gum issues?

Yes, in most cases, teeth whitening can be safely performed on patients with sensitivity or mild gum issues. Our team will assess your oral health beforehand and may recommend customised treatment options or desensitising products to ensure a comfortable and safe whitening experience.
