If you’re looking for a way to achieve a whiter, more confident smile, professional teeth whitening may be the answer. At Willsmere Dental, our highly experienced Oral Health Therapist (OHT), Monica, provides both in-chair and take-home whitening options. Using industry-leading technology, we deliver exceptional results tailored to your unique needs.

In-Chair Whitening With Philips Zoom: Fast, Visible Results

Our in-chair option with Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed can give you a dramatically brighter smile in just one visit. The Zoom LED technology is clinically proven to whiten teeth up to 8 shades in about 90 minutes, making it an excellent choice for those looking for immediate results. Here’s what makes Zoom a top choice for in-office whitening:

Customisable LED Technology: Zoom’s advanced blue LED light speeds up the brightening process and allows our team to adjust the focus on individual teeth for consistent colour results. This personalised approach ensures that your smile has an even, bright finish.
Long-Lasting Whiteness: Zoom whitening offers results that can last longer than many over-the-counter products, helping you maintain a bright smile over time.
Added Sensitivity Care: Each treatment includes Relief ACP, a desensitising formula that minimises discomfort so you can achieve your desired brightness with little to no sensitivity.

For optimal results, we recommend scheduling a professional cleaning with Monica before your session. This helps remove surface stains and plaque, ensuring the whitening process is even and effective.

Take-Home Whitening With Pola: Whiten at Your Convenience

For those who prefer to brighten their smile at home, Monica provides professional-grade take-home kits by Pola, a leading brand. Our custom-fitted trays offer several advantages over store-bought kits, providing a more comfortable fit and better overall results. With Pola, you’ll enjoy these benefits:

Quick Results: Pola’s powerful formula can give you a noticeably whiter smile in as little as five days, with just 20 minutes of wear time per day.
Full Surface Whitening: Pola’s custom trays ensure that the brightening solution reaches every part of your teeth, delivering uniform brightness from top to bottom.
Sensitivity Safeguard: Pola includes an active desensitising agent to protect sensitive teeth, while its high water content keeps your teeth hydrated and healthy throughout the process.

Why Choose Professional Whitening Over OTC Products?

While over-the-counter products can offer minor brightening, professional teeth whitening provides a more thorough and customised approach. Our take-home kits are designed to fit comfortably and reduce sensitivity while also achieving better and more consistent results. Both Philips Zoom and Pola options are tailored to address your unique needs, ensuring outstanding results.

FAQs

How long does in-chair whitening take?

A session with Philips Zoom takes about 90 minutes, making it easy to achieve a brighter smile in a single visit.

How often can I brighten my teeth at home?

For take-home whitening, we recommend using the trays daily for up to two weeks. You can schedule touch-ups as needed based on your desired level of brightness.

Will teeth whitening cause sensitivity?

Most patients experience little to no sensitivity with our professional whitening options. Both Philips Zoom and Pola include formulas to protect sensitive teeth.

Will I have increased sensitivity after the whitening?

It’s possible, but we don’t have many reports of sensitivity following a patient’s whitening session. Some patients notice some sensitivity for the following few hours after a visit. It’s nothing that over-the-counter pain medication shouldn’t take care of.

Can I drink coffee or red wine afterwards?

To maintain results, avoid dark beverages like coffee and red wine immediately after whitening. Regular brushing and flossing will also help prolong your results.

How do I know which option is right for me?

If you prefer the convenience of brightening your pearly whites at home, our take-home kit may be ideal, especially as it allows more control over sensitivity. However, if daily applications aren’t your style or if you’re more comfortable with professional guidance, in-chair whitening may be a better fit. During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the option that best suits your needs.

Do I need a cleaning before my session?

To ensure even whitening, it’s best to have your teeth cleaned if it’s been a while since your last hygiene visit. We typically recommend scheduling your whitening 2-3 weeks after a cleaning to achieve optimal results.

What does the process involve?

For the in-chair procedure, we’ll begin by applying a protective gel around your gums. Next, the Philips Zoom system applies a whitening gel, which is activated by blue LED light. You’ll relax for about 60 minutes while the treatment works to brighten your smile.

Will I experience increased sensitivity after my session?

Some patients may notice mild sensitivity for a few hours post-treatment, though this is generally manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. Most patients report little to no sensitivity following their session.

What aftercare is recommended?

For the first few days, avoid dark-coloured foods and drinks, as your teeth will be more susceptible to staining. Continue your regular brushing and flossing routine to maintain your results.

Who is an ideal candidate for this cosmetic service?

Those with yellow or brownish stains often see the best results from whitening. However, if your teeth are gray or bluish, the results may be less noticeable. Teeth whitening will not affect restorations like veneers, crowns, or implants. During your next checkup, we can assess if teeth whitening is a good option for you.
