Teeth Whitening Newcastle, NSW

What is teeth whitening?

At Honeysuckle Dental our most common cosmetic dentistry procedures is the teeth whitening. Teeth whitening is the process of bleaching the teeth to remove stains and discolouration and restore a whiter, brighter and youthful appearance.

Our team at Honeysuckle Dental provide both in-chair and take-home teeth whitening treatments so you can maintain your pearly whites at home after your in-chair treatment.

What makes teeth discoloured?

There are multiple reasons to why teeth can become discoloured, including the following:

• Food & drinks such as tea, coffee, energy drinks and starchy foods
• The use of tobacco is a huge cause of discolouration
• Poor dental health leads to discolouration, as bacteria and plaque isn’t cleaned away
• Certain medications can discolour teeth
• Improper formation of enamel
• Trauma & injury to the teeth can damage the enamel
• Ageing also causes deterioration of the enamel
• Certain people genetically have thicker or thinner enamel

Enamel is the hard protective layer around your teeth, and it also gives your teeth the white appearance. As enamel deteriorates, gets damaged and becomes thinner, the inner ‘yellow’ dentin layer becomes more exposed, giving a yellower appearance.

How does teeth whitening work at Honeysuckle Dental?

Our in-chair whitening process uses the KTP Laser, which is one of the most effective teeth whitening tools available to date. During your initial consultation with Honeysuckle Dental, our dental professionals will discuss with you which whitening treatment would be best suited to your lifestyle to improve your particular shade of discolouration.

We currently offer a range of dental whitening treatments to suit both your lifestyle and budget. For more specific information on each of the whitening treatments we offer, you can click one of the links below.
