One of Pacific Smiles most popular and affordable cosmetic dental treatments is teeth whitening.
Pacific Smiles Dental in Bayside, Melbourne can completely transform your smile with several teeth whitening solutions to choose from.
All teeth discolour over time, so the best place to start for a brighter smile is to book a professional clean which can remove some staining.
Your Pacific Smiles dentist can then recommend the best steps forward to a whiter smile.
To make booking an appointment more convenient Pacific Smiles Dental in Cheltenham is located at Westfield, Southland and is open 7 days a week including Saturday and Sunday and extended hours on Thursday.
What’s the difference between professional and at-home teeth whitening?
Professional in-the-chair teeth whitening can be achieved by using ultra-violet light in one appointment at Pacific Smile Dental in Cheltenham. Compared to dentist arranged take-home kits which involve custom-fitted mouth trays sized for your teeth combined with bleaching gels. The trays are then worn daily for a select number of hours until the desired results are achieved.
Pacific Smile dentists would not recommend off-the-shelf teeth whitening kits available from chemists and supermarkets because it lacks expert consultation and advice needed for successful and safe results.
Affordable teeth whitening procedures in Cheltenham and Bayside?
The big question and the most asked, how much does it cost to whiten your teeth? Not surprisingly, costs vary widely between treatments and procedures. Professional in-chair teeth whitening can cost between $400 and $1,200 per session compared to at-home kits from your dentist which can range from $250 to $550. In-chair treatments are more expensive due to the advanced equipment needed and the fabulous immediate results.
