Teeth Whitening in Box Hill

Sometimes, your teeth may naturally appear darker or discoloured due to factors like diet, medications, or smoking. No matter the cause, the dentists at Landale Dental, Box Hill, are here to address your concerns and help enhance the appearance of your smile. We provide professional in-chair whitening for swift results or take-home whitening kits, along with professional full-mouth cleaning and polishing services.

What is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at lightening the shade of your teeth and removing stains or discolouration. This process involves using a whitening agent, usually a type of bleach, to break stains down. This reduces the concentration of the discolouration and leaves your teeth appearing brighter and whiter.

What Causes Tooth Discolouration?

Tooth discolouration can be caused by a number of factors:

• Age: As we grow older, our teeth naturally darken due to wear and tear and the accumulation of stains.

• Diet: Certain foods and drinks, such as coffee, tea, wine, and dark-coloured fruits, can stain the teeth.

• Tobacco: Smoking or chewing tobacco can result in teeth discolouration.

• Medications: Certain medications and treatments can cause tooth discolouration. 

What Procedures Do You Offer?

At Landale Dental in Box Hill, we offer two types of teeth whitening procedures:

1. In-chair Whitening: This procedure involves applying a high concentration of whitening gel to your teeth and using a special light to accelerate the whitening process. This method provides immediate results in just one appointment.

2. Take-Home Whitening Kits: These kits include a custom-made whitening tray and a lower concentration of whitening gel for you to use at home. The process takes longer, but results are visible within a few weeks.
