Teeth Whitening

ASP Stomatologia offers professional teeth whitening to lighten teeth that have darkened with age, food, drink or tobacco. Choose take-home whitening with custom trays, faster in-chair laser whitening, or a combination of both for the most thorough result. A separate technique lightens a single discoloured, non-vital tooth from the inside. Supervised by a dentist, professional whitening is associated with more even, predictable results than over-the-counter kits.

Professional teeth whitening uses a peroxide-based gel to break down the stains that accumulate within and on the surface of enamel over time, lifting the overall shade of the teeth to a brighter appearance. At ASP Stomatologia three approaches are available so treatment can be matched to your preference and lifestyle. Take-home (tray) whitening involves custom-made trays and professional-strength gel that you wear for a set period over a couple of weeks, gradually and gently lightening the teeth at home under the dentist's guidance. In-chair laser whitening is carried out in a single clinic visit, using a stronger gel activated to accelerate the process for a faster, supervised result. A combined option pairs an in-chair session with take-home trays to maximise and then maintain the effect. Because whitening is supervised by a dentist, the gums and lips are protected during treatment and the concentration and timing are controlled, which is associated with more even results and fewer problems than unsupervised over-the-counter products. A short period of tooth sensitivity afterwards is common and usually settles quickly. The clinic also offers internal whitening for a single tooth that has darkened after root canal treatment or trauma, treating it from the inside to match its neighbours. Whitening works on natural tooth enamel and not on existing fillings, crowns or veneers, so the dentist will assess your teeth and explain what result is realistically achievable, particularly if you have visible restorations. A check-up and clean beforehand help ensure the best and most even outcome.
