Teeth Whitening Sydney

Five years After One Visit Tooth Whitening

Monthly home tray whitening gel can be supplemented with yearly in-house professional tooth whitening system as well at Designer Smiles. Over-the-counter products (OTC) have considerable amounts of acid which can affect the surface enamel of the tooth, while professionally delivered products tested in clinical trials sustain no damage to tooth enamel.

Tooth whitening is an art requiring prior assessment of tooth colour/shade. Patients with very dark stains on their teeth may not be suitable candidates for whitening procedure as it would take quite a long period of time and the banding-striations will remain. Also, it is not ideal for bleaching teeth with severe tetracycline discolouration and enamel hypoplasia (surface malformations). Bleaching alone will not fix the problem. The surface colour contrast in the bands will remain. Ultrathin minimal intervention porcelain veneers developed by Dr Sarkis Nalbandian and his laboratory (dental Xpressions) are the answer.

Ideal Clinical Situation for Brighten Your Teeth

The presence of even discolouration on the surface with no bands or pits fissures or grooves. Yellow teeth, with light discolouration restricted to enamel as opposed to dentine, and plenty of enamel.
Indications

• Light yellow tetracycline staining
• Brown fluorosis stains: the white spot lesions become less apparent as the surrounding brown/tooth lightens up
• Bleaching single or few discoloured teeth as per patient preference
• Extended bleaching of calcified pulpal-yellow golden tooth with history of trauma
• All surface stains: coffee, tea, tobacco, chromogenic bacteria
• Staining due to Chlorhexidine (CHXO)
• Possible reduction in root caries-anticariogenic properties of carbamide peroxide

However, the most important factor in a successful teeth whitening treatment with our team is realistic patient expectations.

Teeth Whitening Before - After

What Are the Two Kinds of Stains That Develop?

Extrinsic—Stains which are deposited on the outside surface. Whiteners will lighten calculus and the subsurface structure.
Intrinsic—Stains which are incorporated into the tooth structure before or after eruption.

Yellow brown-amelogenesis imperfecta, hypoplastic form which is usually transmitted as autosomal dominant trait.

• White -Fluorosis (se enamel microabrasion)
• Green/blue-hyperbillirubinaemia
• Grey Brown-necrotic pulp
• Red brown-Congenital porphyria
• Blue brown- dentinogenesis imperfecta

What Agent or Agents Lighten Teeth?

Peroxide is an active agent. Found in Carbamide Peroxide (CP). Breakdown: 10% CP=3% HP+7% Urea; (HP = Oxygen + Water; Urea = Ammonia + Carbon Dioxide)

How Does Tooth Whitening Treatment Works?

Carbamide peroxide breaks down into hydrogen peroxide and urea, materials commonly found and readily disposed of in the body.

Hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and an oxygen free radical.

The 10% Carbamide Peroxide is the safest and tested and is regarded as the standard of care in Evidenced Based Dentistry. We, in dentistry are now trained in biochemical concepts of tooth whitening.

The professional teeth whitening procedure at Designer Smiles, Sydney is very simple. We have the experience and expertise in advising you on tooth whitening. Dr Sarkis Nalbandian tested the first revolutionary tooth whitening system in 2001 and he is recognised and approached by media for assessment of current whitening systems. He appeared on Channel Nine’s A Current Affair in Australia and evaluated and tested a range of tooth whitening systems: both in-house and over the counter products.

The Truth

Very few therapies work for everyone.

• Advantages of bleaching alone:
  • Chief advantage is minimal invasiveness requiring no alteration of tooth structure and loss of enamel.
  • Presence of even discolouration on surface including no bands or pits fissures or grooves. Yellow teeth, with light discolouration restricted to enamel as opposed to dentine.

  Serve as an adjunct to cosmetic procedures by enhancing general colour-combined Tx

• Contraindications for tooth whitening
  • Patients with resin allergies or peroxide allergies
  • Pregnant or lactating patients
  • How old should patients be before bleaching? – Should not lighten teeth while patient is in mixed dentition

  Best Tooth whitening in Sydney for individual teeth has a different policy (Ped Dent 30(7 Sup):61-63;2008)

• Disadvantages of bleaching alone
  • Tooth whitening is eventually reversible
  • Patient must stop smoking, and drinking red wine
  • Number of sessions required
  • Not effective for all forms of discolouration: tetracycline banding will lighten up but remain distinct entities: depending on the lip line, the tips tend to get quite white
  • Bleaching cannot alter shape or position of the tooth
  • Bleaching can be unpredictable. Cannot change colour of existing restorations

Over the years, teeth can become discoloured for a number of reasons. Smoking, certain foods, aging, medication and poor oral hygiene can all contribute to the problem where the change can be so gradual, you never notice. With the new techniques in bleaching, you’ll be surprised at the difference in your smile.

How Long Does Bleaching Last?

It depends on the person!
Special consideration for bleaching patients

• Teeth which have yellowed due to age produce the most dramatic results
• Adequate enamel thickness helps
• Shrinkage of pulp helps, reduced regenerative capacity of pulp needed to make an informed decision
• Presence of wear and tear, old amalgams and enamel discolouration
• Enamel thinning, flat surface, optical reflective effect of enamel is lost

Dentofacial Aesthetic Rejuvenation

It is not just about the teeth it is all about the face! Determining the patient’s specific concern(s) is of major clinical importance. Many tooth surface loss patients (TSL and heavily restored teeth) will be primarily concerned about the longevity of their dentition, but aesthetics is also likely to be of concern. It is easy to presume that this results from the shortened appearance of the teeth. However, the patient may just dislike the yellow/brown appearance of exposed dentine surfaces. Bleaching here also will not work and restorative coverage is required. Porcelain veneers & crowns are placed on lower 10 teeth. Else, Sydney teeth whitening is what you should choose.
