Enhance the appearance of your smile with safe and effective teeth whitening at Pelago Dental, designed to boost your confidence with noticeably brighter results.
There are many reasons why teeth can become stained or discoloured.
Common causes include drinking coffee, tea, or red wine, smoking or using tobacco, not brushing and flossing regularly, and natural ageing.
Other reasons include certain medications, past injuries to your teeth, genetics, too much fluoride, or older dental work that may darken over time.
Knowing the different types of teeth whitening treatments available can help you make an informed decision based on your needs and lifestyle. Here are some of the most widely used methods:
This type of whitening is done by a dentist at the clinic using strong whitening gels and special equipment. It gives fast and noticeable results, often in just one visit.
Available over the counter, these kits include products like whitening strips, gels, or trays designed for home use. They typically contain lower levels of bleaching agents, making them less powerful than professional in-clinic treatments, but they can still improve the brightness of your smile over time.
Your consultation includes a full dental check and an OPG x-ray. We’ll go over your treatment options and answer any questions you might have, including payment plans if needed. It’s a simple first step toward a fresher, more confident smile.
Let’s clear things up by busting some of the most common myths.
Fact: It’s true that some patients may experience temporary sensitivity after whitening, but this is usually mild and resolves on its own. When done under professional guidance, teeth whitening is safe and designed to minimise discomfort.
Fact: While whitening toothpaste can reduce surface stains, it doesn’t contain the same bleaching agents used in professional treatments. For more significant and lasting whitening, in-clinic or dentist-supervised options are more effective.
Fact: Using things like lemon juice, baking soda, or charcoal might seem like a cheap way to whiten your teeth, but they can actually wear down your enamel and harm your teeth. For safe and effective results, it’s best to see a dentist.
Fact: Whitening effects gradually fade due to lifestyle habits such as diet, smoking, and the natural aging process. While results can last for a long time, occasional maintenance treatments are often needed to keep your smile looking its best.
Fact: Not all patients are ideal candidates for teeth whitening. Individuals with untreated tooth decay, gum disease, or certain dental restorations (like crowns or veneers) may not see effective or safe results. A dental assessment is essential before starting any whitening treatment.
Want to keep your teeth white after whitening? Here are some simple tips to help you maintain that bright smile:
Brush twice a day – Use fluoride toothpaste to clean away stains and stop plaque from building up.
Floss – Flossing helps clean the spots your toothbrush can’t reach and keeps your teeth looking fresh.
Watch what you eat and drink – Try to limit coffee and tea as they can all stain your teeth over time.
Quit Smoking – Smoking and other tobacco products can cause serious stains and affect your health.
Visit your dentist regularly – Regular check-ups and professional cleans help remove deeper stains and keep your teeth healthy.
