Posted: Jan 20 2023

If you’ve been thinking about a whiter, brighter smile but not sure where to start, here are some of the most commonly asked questions, answered.

At Health Partners Dental we offer Pola teeth whitening in-chair and take-home kits, which use a solution with a scientific formula that can only be performed and overseen by trained Oral Health Care professionals.

1. Can I have teeth whitening if I have sensitive teeth?

Yes, the solution has built in desensitisers to provide maximum comfort and to lower sensitivity. Speak to your dental practitioner about the best treatment for you.

2. I haven’t been to the dentist in a few years, is this important?

We recommend that all patients have a check-up and clean before commencing any teeth whitening treatments. This will give you the best result and check if you need any fillings or other dental care.

3. Not all of my teeth are the same shade of yellow, can I target teeth that are more stained for an even result?

Absolutely, our trained Dental Practitioners will be able to discuss the best tooth whitening options for you and personalise an approach to optimise your result.

4. How long does in-chair treatment take?

The total appointment time is approximately 1 hour to allow for a pre-clean and post check.

5. What is the cost for in-chair compared to a take-home kit?

Treatment cost can range between $300-$500. At the time of your free consult you will be provided with a quote based on the whitening treatment best suited to your needs.
