Teeth whitening makeovers can help remove stains of your teeth making them shine like new. Many patients at Hyde Park Dental Care in Sydney’s CBD have seen beneficial results from both our in-chair and at home teeth whitening treatments. Whitening treatments, whether requested due to general staining, smoking-related staining or health-related staining, provides many patients with the pleasing make-over like results they desire for a smile they are proud of. For your convenience, we offer a two-hour in-chair whitening treatment called PolaOffice at our Sydney CBD practice, or for those busy patients, we are also able to offer an at-home version which can be applied daily from the comfort of your own home. For our regular patients, we also offer white teeth for life by providing a FREE tray of whitening gel when you come for your six-monthly scale and polish (cleaning) appointment. Below are just two examples of some of our successful results from both in-chair and at-home teeth whitening treatments. Achieving results with at-home whitening treatments The dental concern: The patient had discolouration and uneven shading among all teeth, primarily within the smile zone. Prescribed treatment plan: Dr Joffe prescribed at-home whitening treatment with personalised whitening trays and gel. During your consultation, Dr Joffe will discuss your treatment plan and the application process. Result: The result was outstanding for the patient and was achieved in just 2 weeks with the take-home teeth whitening system. Check out the results from our in-chair treatment Please refer to the right tooth at the front for whitening results. The dental concern: The patient had a dark upper left central incisor which was a result of the pulp (nerve) dying, probably due to trauma. The patient assumed that the pulp may have been damaged when she bumped the tooth. As a result of the dead nerve, the tooth darkened in colour. Prescribed treatment plan: The patient simply wanted her tooth to match the rest in her smile. A root canal treatment followed by internal bleaching and then a porcelain crown or porcelain veneer. Result: After the internal bleaching, Hyde Park obtained such a good teeth whitening result that it was not necessary to do the crown or veneer. This was a win-win situation for the patient as the treatment is much more conservative and cost-effective. This could be you!

The importance of seeking a professional teeth whitening system The market is flooded with at-home whitening systems and while these kits may effectively whiten your smile there is no guarantee that the system is safe. With our professional guidance and treatment we can assure that your teeth are whitened while maintaining your tooth enamel. Your tooth enamel is the outermost layer of your tooth, it is the hardest substance in the human body and protects your teeth, if the enamel is worn down during teeth whitening your teeth can be more susceptible to bacteria and disease.
