Teeth Whitening in Sydney CBD
Whitening products may lighten natural tooth colour. Response varies according to the cause of discolouration, the method used and the condition of your teeth. Existing fillings, crowns and veneers do not whiten in the same way.
Before whitening
A dental examination can identify decay, gum problems, sensitivity or restorations that may affect suitability. Ask about available methods, the expected process and current fees.
Risks and limitations
Whitening may cause temporary or persistent sensitivity and irritation of the gums or other soft tissues. Colour changes can be uneven and fade over time. Follow the clinician’s instructions rather than increasing application time or concentration yourself.
Alternatives include professional cleaning for surface staining or accepting your existing tooth colour. Other cosmetic procedures carry different risks and are not automatically necessary.
