How Can You Maximize Your Teeth Whitening Treatment?
Putting your best smile forward is hard when your teeth are dull and dingy. At Red Hill Dental Practice, we can quickly remedy that problem with professional teeth whitening. Our in-office teeth bleaching treatment can shine your pearly whites brightly in one dental visit. These FAQs compiled by Dr. Chris Wooldridge and your Red Hill, Victoria dental team provide greater insight into teeth whitening treatment. Â
What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that eliminates stains and discolorations from teeth to give your smile a whiter, brighter appearance. Dr. Wooldridge uses professional-grade whitening products to safely brighten your grin. We offer both in-office and at-home teeth whitening services using customized whitening kits.
What causes stains and discolorations on my teeth?
Various factors can lead to stained teeth. The most common causes are age, wear and tear, and the continual consumption of stain-causing foods and drinks. Smoking and poor oral hygiene can also contribute to this problem. Teeth whitening is designed to break down deeply ingrained stains in the enamel of your teeth to restore your smile’s original beauty.Â
How long does it take to whiten your teeth?
Our in-office teeth bleaching services can instantly restore your pearly whites’ radiance! Most treatments can be completed within an hour, letting you leave with a brilliant smile to show off to your friends! To gradually brighten your smile, Dr. Wooldridge can provide you with a tooth whitening kit containing custom trays and high-grade whitening gel for home use. You can see beautiful results in a matter of weeks.   Â
Does teeth whitening hurt?
Teeth whitening gels can cause temporary sensitivity both during and after treatment. To minimize these symptoms, we can reduce the strength or time of your bleaching treatment. Using toothpaste for sensitive teeth before and after treatment may also help keep sensitivity minimal. Â

Is teeth whitening safe?
When used properly and under dental supervision, teeth whitening products pose no harm to your gums or teeth. This treatment is recommended for adults, not children. Good oral health is a prerequisite for any cosmetic treatment, and teeth whitening is no exception. A comprehensive oral evaluation by your Red Hill dentist will determine if you’re a good candidate for this treatment.Â
How can I maximize my teeth whitening treatment?
Working with an experienced tooth-whitening dentist like Dr. Wooldridge will help you get the most from your teeth-whitening treatment. With good oral care, your whitening results can last several years. You can keep your teeth whiter longer by not smoking, limiting your intake of stain-causing foods and drinks, and seeing your dentist regularly for dental cleanings.Â
