Teeth Whitening

At South Cliff Dental Group, we offer professional teeth whitening so you can achieve effective results and a noticeable smile.

Teeth Whitening is a Common Cosmetic Treatment

A bright, dazzling smile makes others take notice — quite literally, as your smile is one of the first things people acknowledge when they meet you. Even the healthiest smiles can have dull, discoloured teeth, but whitening transforms their appearance.
Teeth whitening does not improve the function of your teeth, simply their aesthetic. Often, there are two ways to make teeth more vibrant:
1

Surface whiteners use special abrasives to remove surface stains. Toothpastes and specially-formulated chewing gums fit in this category.

2

Teeth bleaches are typically peroxide-based formulations that are capable of altering the actual colour of teeth. These whitening agents take the form of in-practice whitening or at-home whitening kits.

At South Cliff Dental Group practices, dental hygienists work to remove surface stains during your cleaning appointment. In addition, many of our patients opt for one of the effective teeth whitening systems we have available.

What Causes Tooth Discolouration?

The natural shade of teeth fall within a range of light grey and light yellow. Teeth naturally darken with age as tooth enamel wears away and exposes the layer of yellow dentin beneath. Discolouration can be caused by many factors including highly pigmented food and drink (such as curries, coffee or red wine), poor dental hygiene, certain medications and habits such as smoking.

Reasons to Whiten Your Teeth Professionally

Over-the-counter whitening products are always an option, however, they likely will not produce dramatic results. Dental practices — such as those within the South Cliff Dental Group — have access to more powerful whitening agents.

Teeth whitening products available off-the-shelf contain a lower concentration of the bleaching agent compared to products available from a dental practice. Therefore, we can offer our patients more noticeable, long-lasting results.

Patient safety is also at the forefront of any treatment offered through our group of dental practices. Teeth whitening agents can irritate your gums, lips or cheeks, which is why we custom-fit your teeth bleaching trays, ensuring they don’t leak.

Of course, there are plenty of other reasons to see a dentist for teeth whitening, including:
