What is
Teeth Whitening?
Teeth discolouration is a problem for many people. The ability to smile with confidence can be a challenge when your smile is anything but bright and white.
We all want to have brighter and whiter teeth, but it’s hard to do with the current options available on the market today. Many tooth bleaching products contain abrasive agents, which can cause tooth enamel erosion if used frequently. It makes them less effective than they could be.
The good news is that we can remove stains from teeth through professional whitening treatments performed by Ellen Stirling Dental professionals. An effective cosmetic dentistry procedure, teeth whitening removes stains and discolourations from teeth. This cosmetic procedure brightens your teeth’s appearance. At Ellen Stirling Dental, we provide dental procedures that give you a gorgeous smile without causing tooth enamel damage.
Benefits of
Teeth Whitening
Cosmetic teeth whitening improves your appearance and gives you more confidence. Natural teeth whitening methods and over-the-counter products can aid in tooth whitening. Still, they are not always effective or easy. Professional teeth whitening is an excellent alternative for individuals who do not want to use natural therapies. It may be more expensive, but in-chair treatment is the most effective technique to improve your smile. Here are some of the many advantages of in-office whitening:
01
Dental clinicians can whiten your teeth safely.
They are required to complete additional dental training to understand the science of the whitening solutions they use and how they whiten teeth without damaging teeth or gums. According to the Australian Dental Association, whitening your teeth without the help of a professional dentist can cause serious adverse effects.
02
Professional teeth whitening is fast and reliable.
There is no better alternative than visiting a qualified dentist for individuals looking for a quick and easy remedy to their yellow teeth. Over-the-counter teeth whitening treatment regimens may take weeks to produce results comparable to cosmetic dentists’ results in a single appointment.
03
A professional teeth whitening procedure can also help you obtain healthier teeth. Teeth whitening is fast and reliable.
Prior to teeth whitening, we will do a dental examination to confirm that you are in good oral health. If there are any issues in your mouth, we will address them first before beginning the teeth whitening procedure.
04
You can achieve a brighter smile with professional teeth whitening.
Low amounts of hydrogen peroxide in over-the-counter tooth bleaching products are insufficient to remove deep or severe stains from your teeth.

Professional teeth whitening treatments are the most effective and yield the fastest results.
Are teeth whiteners safe?
Yes. Teeth whitening, when performed by a qualified dentist, has been demonstrated to be a safe treatment for both teeth and gums.
Who needs teeth whitening treatment?
If you want to make your stained or discoloured teeth brighter and whiter, professional teeth whitening is the safest way to go about it. Before prescribing a suitable teeth whitening treatment plan, an experienced dentist will need to analyse your oral condition. Your gums and teeth should be in good shape, and no fillings or restorations should be present.
What causes tooth discolouration or staining?
Your tooth colour is determined by your lifestyle, nutrition, habits, and dental hygiene routines. Causes of tooth discolouration are divided into two categories:
- Extrinsic Discolouration: Extrinsic stains are superficial stains on the tooth surface that accumulate over time. Consumption of dark-coloured foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, red wine, soda, blackberries, and curry causes them. Smoking or chewing tobacco also causes extrinsic tooth discolouration over time.
- Intrinsic Discolouration: Deeper stains on the inner layer of teeth or dentine are known as intrinsic tooth stains. These stains are more challenging to get rid of than extrinsic discolouration. Excessive fluoride use may cause discolouration or leave white streaks on your teeth. Certain medications, like antihistamines, tetracycline, antipsychotics, and high blood pressure medications, are also common causes of intrinsic discolouration.
Other causes of intrinsic discolouration are:- Genetics: The colour of one’s teeth and the structure of one’s enamel differs from one person to the next, affecting tooth colour. Teeth that are thicker or have darker enamel are also present in certain people at birth.
- Cancer treatments: Chemotherapy and radiation are two cancer therapies that can cause tooth discolouration.
- Aging: The outer layer of enamel wears down gradually as people age, resulting in tooth discolouration and yellowing.
How does teeth whitening work?
Teeth stains can be caused by coloured food or drink, especially with red wine and coffee. We can reverse these stains with the oxygen ions released from our Pola whitening systems. The oxygen ions break down stains to restore your teeth to their optimal brightness.
Dental erosion (acid wear on teeth) can thin out our white tooth enamel and reveal the yellow from the inner dentine layer, which gives a discoloured appearance. If the erosion is still in the early stages, we can use remineralisation techniques to replenish the calcium and phosphate minerals on the enamel surface to cover and protect the darker dentine inside. Our patients will usually find improvement in the colour of their teeth and reduced tooth sensitivity after remineralising the surface.
Some patients will have a combination of staining and dental erosion, and may require combination treatments for the best long-term results.
How long do teeth whitening effects last?
Professional teeth whitening effects typically last for 2-3 years. However, we have treatments that can last up to 7 years, depending on your diet.
How white can you go with teeth whitening?
Our Express Whitening Package can boost your teeth colour by three or more shades, while our “White me now!” Package, “I’m too busy” Package, and Forever White Package can brighten your teeth from 7 to 10 shades.
