Teeth Whitening

Today tooth whitening is an extremely popular cosmetic dental service. Over the counter whitening solutions are low strength that can take a long time to achieve any result and those results are usually underwhelming.
When choosing professional whitening it is important to have an oral health check with your dentist prior to treatment to ensure you have none of the following contra-indications.

• Leaking fillings
• Tooth decay
• Cracked or broken teeth
• Intrinsic staining (Staining within the tooth that will not benefit from whitening)
• Exposed dentine due to periodontal disease or abrasion lesions from excessive brushing

If you proceed with whitening with any of these contra-indications left untreated it could lead to extreme tooth sensitivity and even pulp death.
Everyone wants that beautiful white smile but the health of your teeth comes first and that is why it is so important to have any whitening treatment done by a responsible licenced practitioner.
At AA Dental we provide the option of in chair whitening or customized take home kits.
