Whitening

At Winelands Dentistry, we offer professional teeth whitening using the Philips ZOOM system — a globally recognised, research-driven whitening range. Our treatment is designed to be safe, effective, and gentle, giving you a brighter smile with minimal sensitivity.

Every whitening treatment is tailored to your specific needs and supervised by a dental professional to ensure a safe, predictable, and comfortable experience.

The following is some more information regarding the process.

• Tooth whitening can be a very effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without removing any of the tooth surface. It cannot make a complete colour change, but it may lighten the existing shade.
• Professional bleaching is the most usual method of tooth whitening. Your dental team will be able to tell you if you are suitable for the treatment and will supervise it if you are.
• The 'active ingredient' in the product is hydrogen peroxide. As the active ingredient is broken down, oxygen gets into the enamel on the teeth and the tooth colour is made lighter.
• Whitening only works on natural tooth structure, thus any fillings, crowns, veneers, bridges, etc will not whiten.
• Some people may find that their teeth become sensitive to cold during or after the treatment.
• Unfortunately, not all teeth can be whitened. It depends on dental health of each person.
• Teeth whitening isn't permanent, but how long the effects last will depend on the type of treatment you have and how well you look after your teeth afterwards. In most cases, teeth whitening can last from six months up to two years. There's more chance of your teeth staying whiter for longer if you avoid smoking and staining food and drinks such as tea, coffee, and beetroot.
