Aging, lifestyle habits, medications, genetics, and excessive fluoride consumption can all contribute to tooth discolouration. Teeth whitening and veneers offer aesthetic solutions for dull or discoloured teeth.
It's essential to assess each individual's teeth beforehand, taking into account factors like existing fillings, decay, veneers, or crowns in visible areas. At The Point Dental, we provide a complimentary assessment before proceeding with the treatment.
In-house teeth whitening starts at $450, while take-home kits are available seperately for $295. Additionally, we provide a complimentary assessment before the treatment.
Dentists take precautions during whitening procedures to minimize discomfort. Typically, protective measures such as a gel or rubber shield are utilised to shield gum tissue from bleaching agents. Following the procedure, you may experience slight tooth sensitivity for a brief period.
While research is limited, it is advisable to wait and commence the treatment after birth or once fully weaned. The Point Dental promises to always provide a safe culture and environment to all our patients which means minimising any potential risk.
Results can vary based on lifestyle, diet, and oral hygiene practices, typically lasting several months to a few years.
Regular touch-ups or at-home maintenance can help prolong the effects.
