Are you interested in brightening your smile but not sure where to start? Our knowledgeable dentists are here to discuss your cosmetic dentistry options for safe, gentle, and effective teeth whitening.  

Magic Smiles Dental and Implant Centre offers in-office and take-home whitening treatments for quick and convenient teeth whitening results in the Coffs Harbour area.  

How do I get started? 

One of our dentists can explain the benefits of teeth whitening during your periodic dental cleaning and check-up appointment. Teeth whitening works best when your teeth are clean and healthy. In fact, the best time for teeth whitening is after a dental cleaning!

Whitening treatment does not work on existing restorations such as crowns and bridges. Teeth whitening is also not recommended for teeth with decay or gums in need of treatment. Our team can help you prioritize the treatment you need for the brightest smile you deserve. 

What teeth whitening system do you use? 

Our office only uses Philips Zoom, which is the most trusted whitening product on the market. Zoom is also one of the most well-known in-office whitening treatments available. If you are in need of quick results for a special event, Zoom may be the perfect fit.

Philips also offers an extensive line of take-home whitening gels for long-lasting and convenient results. This option is perfect for patients who are unsure of the results they desire or those who need the convenience of at-home whitening.  

What is the process like? 

The Philips Zoom in-office whitening treatment can take several hours to complete. We recommend our patients bring earbuds to listen to music during the treatment. Hands-free entertainment is best. There will be breaks between whitening sessions to stretch your legs. The number of sessions depends on the current shade of your teeth. Our team will be there to make sure your comfort is top priority during these sessions.  

If you want to try Philips take-home whitening kit, a quick appointment to take impressions is necessary. Impressions are used to make molds of your teeth for a custom-fit tray that delivers the right amount of whitening gel. A helpful team member will go over instructions and assist you with trying on the trays to ensure a comfortable fit.  

What results can I expect? 

Whether you choose the in-office Zoom whitening or take-home kit, you can expect to see your smile brightened by several shades. Zoom in-office whitening treatment offers immediate results that continue to work even after you leave the office. To achieve your best results, it is important to follow all the instructions given to you during your appointment. 

For a long-term result that you will continue to love, we recommend you follow-up Zoom whitening with the take-home whitening kit. This is especially helpful if you enjoy drinking dark beverages such as coffee, tea, or wine. We find it is often necessary to continue whitening at home to maintain your brightest smile.
