Over time, our teeth tend to darken for a number of reasons.  Whether it is because of coffee, tea, or tobacco consumption or due to the use of antibiotics or simply because of age, it is practically impossible for active people to retain the natural whiteness of their teeth.

Utilizing one of the most efficient and quickest teeth whitening systems, the team at Sunshine Coast Smile Centre is able to whiten your teeth in as little as one appointment.  Sunshine Coast Smile Centre can provide you with either at-home or in-surgery whitening so you can achieve the captivating smile you have always wanted.

The highly successful and very popular in-chair teeth whitening system can lighten your smile by as much as 8 shades in a single appointment using a formulated whitening gel, activated by a specially developed light.

This leading-edge technology delivers amazing results to enhance your best feature quickly and safely.  A bright new smile will elevate your self-confidence socially and professionally.

Although in-surgery teeth whitening is popular, some Sunshine Coast Smile Centre patients prefer the privacy and comfort of home for their whitening treatment.  Using custom-made trays, similar in design to a sport mouthguard, they are shaped to fit snugly over your teeth allowing for maximum contact with your tooth’s enamel while still protecting your gums.

You will be given instructions on the correct use of your trays and gel so you achieve maximum results.  Although you can achieve the same look as a patient who chooses the in-chair treatment, as the gel is not as concentrated your desired shade may take between 10 – 12 days to achieve.

Teeth whitening treatments have undergone extensive testing to ensure they are completely safe to use.  The only affect some patients experience is slight sensitivity to hot and cold, however this will often subside several hours after completing your treatment.

If you experience sensitivity while using your at home treatment you should cease application for a few days.  If symptoms continue, please do not hesitate to contact Sunshine Coast Smile Centre for advice.

Depending on the colour of your teeth and the shade you wish to accomplish, results will vary from person to person.  The longevity of your treatment will depend on your lifestyle and food choices.  Smoking and strongly dyed foods discolour your teeth much quicker; however many of our patients have results that last for two or more years.
