Teeth Whitening

Do your teeth look yellow, dark or dull in colour? Years of enjoying foods, drinks and ageing can make our teeth look stained or discoloured. At Ballina Coast Dental, we offer professional teeth whitening to remove stains and brighten teeth. 

Unlike abrasive and generic over-the-counter or DIY whitening options, professional teeth whitening is designed with your aesthetic goals, oral health needs and comfort in mind. Our cosmetic dentists in Ballina can design a teeth whitening regimen for you that will transform your smile from dull to dazzling. 

What Causes Tooth Stains and Discolouration?

Teeth can collect intrinsic and extrinsic stains and make a person’s smile look dull or lacklustre. Certain factors can lead to stained or discoloured teeth, such as:

• Pigmented foods and drinks (e.g., coffee, red wine, tomato sauce, berries) 
• Smoking and tobacco 
• Poor oral hygiene 
• Ageing 
• Trauma and injuries 
• Medical conditions and treatments 

If you have stained or discoloured teeth, our Ballina cosmetic dentists can help you get a brighter smile with professional teeth whitening. 

Professional Teeth Whitening at Ballina Coast Dental 

Our professional teeth whitening systems are tailored to your oral health profile, whitening goals, sensitivity, comfort and lifestyle. We use gentle bleaching agents that weaken tooth stains on a molecular level to achieve thorough, long-lasting results.  

At-Home Teeth Whitening 

Under the instruction of a cosmetic dentist, at-home teeth whitening is highly effective and safe. Ballina Coast Dental uses the Pola Light advanced tooth whitening system that combines Pola’s award-winning whitening formulas with an LED mouthpiece. Pola Light is portable and rechargeable, and the mouthpiece is comfortable and easy to wear. Pola’s unique blend of soothers and conditioners reduces tooth and gum sensitivity, making Pola a preferred whitening product for many patients and dentists. With at-home teeth whitening, you can maintain a white, bright smile, do touch-ups before events and enjoy your teeth-bleaching journey in the comfort of your home or on the go. 

How Do I Keep My Teeth White and Stain-Free? 

Teeth whitening is long-lasting, but it’s not permanent. If you need a teeth whitening boost, we invite you to arrange a dental bleaching session with us.

There are other ways you can prolong your whitening results and reduce stains:

• Practice good oral hygiene by gently brushing twice daily and flossing once daily.
• Avoid stain-causing foods and beverages. 
• Ask your dentist for a recommendation for whitening toothpaste. 
• Use a straw when drinking dark or pigmented beverages. 
• Rinse your mouth with water after eating colourful meals
• Eat a healthy, balanced diet. Apples, carrots and celery increase saliva production, which helps protect your teeth from stains. 
• Avoid using tobacco products and smoking. 
• Visit your dentist for routine dental exams and cleans.
