Are you a good candidate for teeth whitening?
Do you want to freshen up the appearance of your teeth? Perhaps you’re considering teeth whitening to achieve fresh white teeth but are unsure if you’re a good candidate for the treatment? In this blog, Dental Fresh shares some qualities that make a person an ideal candidate for teeth whitening: Qualities of an Ideal Candidate for a Teeth Whitening Treatment You have healthy teeth and gums: It’s important to have healthy teeth and gums before undergoing any whitening treatment. If you have cavities or gum disease, it’s best to address those issues before whitening your teeth. At Dental Fresh we check your teeth and gums before your whitening treatment. You have realistic expectations: Teeth whitening can improve the appearance of your teeth, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. The level of achievable whiteness varies from person to person. WHitening can improve the level of whiteness, but not everyone will have the same result. At Dental Fresh, your practitioner can discuss with you the whiteness level you are likely to achieve. You don’t have sensitive teeth: While it’s not preclusive to treatment, whitening treatments can exacerbate sensitivity. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, make sure your practitioner is aware before you undergo teeth whitening. You’re at the right age and stage: Teeth whitening is suitable for patients over 18 years of age. It is not recommended for those under 18 because their teeth are still under development. We don’t recommend teeth whitening if you are pregnant or lactating. You’re a non-smoker: While whitening can be performed on smokers and results acheilved, if you continue to smoke after whitening, discolouration will recur in a shorter period of time. Perhaps this is a good time to reconsider giving up smoking! Teeth Whitening Options at Dental Fresh We have several options for whitening your teeth. At Dental Fresh, we offer three teeth whitening treatments for our patients in Bondi Junction, as follows: At-Home Teeth Whitening Kits: Our practitioner will prepare your teeth with a clean, scale and polish. Impressions will be taken, and our in-house technicians will prepare your custom night trays. You will be given your night trays and the whitening material after around 1 to 2 days, along with instructions for their use. You can expect results in 1 to 2 weeks after the treatment. In-Chair Teeth Whitening: Our dentist will apply gel to your teeth and insert the Zoom Blue light wand. You’ll be able to relax and watch TV while you’re waiting for the magic. Some patients feel an occasional ‘zing’ sensation, it isn’t painful and you can let us know if you find it disconcerting. It will pass in a few hours. This treatment provides immediate results, resulting in a few shades lighter instantly after the procedure. Whitening For Life Subscription: This option is best for patients who want to achieve optimal results in restoring their bright smile. The subscription allows patients to receive a free top-up of professional strength whitening gel every six months of their regular dental check-up and clean. It’s important to remember that the results may vary for each individual. If you want to find out the best teeth whitening option for you, reach out to Dental Fresh. Our experienced dentist will carefully assess the condition of your teeth and recommend the most suitable treatment for your specific situation. Book an appointment today.
What type of denture is right for me?
Dentures are a common solution for people who have lost one or more of their natural teeth. They are designed to replace missing teeth, improving both your appearance and your ability to speak and eat. However, with so many different types of dentures available, it can be overwhelming to determine which option is right for you. In this blog, Dental Fresh shares the different types ofdenture procedures to help you evaluate your options. The Different Types of Dentures Full Denture – A full denture is typically recommended for people who have lost most or all of their natural teeth. This type of denture is a removable appliance that is custom-made to fit your mouth. It is either made of acrylic or chrome and is designed to look and function like natural teeth. Partial Denture – A partial denture is a good option if you are missing some of your natural teeth but still have some remaining. It is designed to fill in the gaps created by missing teeth and is held in place by metal clasps that attach to your remaining natural teeth. Over Denture – Also known as implant-retained denture, this type of denture fits over remaining natural teeth roots and dental implant. It has attachments that snap into the implant and holds the denture in place. This denture is a good option for those who have lost many teeth but still have some remaining teeth roots and provides a much more stable and secure fit than a traditional removable denture. Bar-Over Denture – It is similar to the over denture, but it has a metal bar that fits over the remaining teeth roots or implant and is attached to the denture with special clips. This type is suitable for people with very few or no remaining teeth and needs maximum stability. What type of denture is best for you? Ultimately, the type of denture right for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences. It’s important to consult with your dentist, or a dental prosthetist to discuss your options and determine the denture services suitable for you. At Dental Fresh, we offer different types of dentures in our clinic at Bondi Junction. Our highly skilled and experienced dentist and dental prosthetist work together to provide you with comfortable and dependable dentures that seamlessly match your smile and always work properly.
