Teeth Whitening

Booking a teeth whitening session will assist with removing stains and discolouration, leaving your teeth whiter and giving you a brighter smile. The treatment is a simple process where we apply a bleaching agent to your teeth, which breaks down any stains and removes yellow tones. Your teeth whitening session can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour. We can often achieve between 2 - 8 shades whiter teeth in one session depending on your teeth health and diet.

What Should You Know About Visiting a Teeth Whitening Clinic? 

Whether you've considered whitening your teeth or not, there are many reasons why teeth whitening can improve your confidence and lifestyle. Teeth whitening is regarded as a safe procedure, however some patients can experience mild to moderate teeth sensitivity post treatment. At The Skin Edit we provide a desensitising gel to minimise this risk and we would recommend avoiding treatment if you have known cavities or sensitivity.

While the process is simple, there are a few pre-whitening steps you may want to take before visiting us and some tips to ensure you get the most out of your appointment:

•  Patients who smoke may not notice a large difference in lighter shades following their first appointment and may take a few extra sessions to achieve the same results as a non smoker. This should not prevent you from booking an appointment a teeth whitening session with our clinic. We do provide at home kits to ensure you are able to achieve greater results in the comfort of your own home. 
•  Before a function such as a wedding or social event, The Skin Edit recommends having teeth whitening treatment 24 -48 hours prior for optimal results. 
•  After your cosmetic teeth whitening session, we advise you to follow an all white diet for up to 3 days to ensure the teeth are not stained while the solutions continues to whiten your teeth post treatment. Foods such as potatoes, breads, pasta, rice, cauliflower and drinks such as water and milk are among the items we can consume. Avoid dark fizzy drinks, chocolate, coffee and teas, wine and cigarettes. 
•  Cosmetic teeth whitening should not substitute for a professional dental clean from your dentist. If you are unsure about your teeth health or sensitivity please book an examination with your dentist prior to your whitening session.
