Who doesn’t want a whiter smile? After all, it’s a reflection of overall good oral health. But what’s the best way to whiten your teeth?
Over-the-counter kits are popular but can come with the risk of sensitivity, gum irritation and even tooth damage. When you’re looking for the best whitening treatment, you should always consult a dental professional to ensure you get great results, and a process that’s safe and gentle on your teeth.
From convenient, prescribed home treatments to in-office professional whitening, let’s look at safe, effective options that you can talk through with your dental practitioner.
If you want… fast, dramatic results
To get the brightest smile possible, check in with your dental professional for an in-office treatment.
Whitening with the Zoom! WhiteSpeed lamp causes the whitening gel to be more effective in eliminating stains in teeth, providing you with a bright white smile. As your dental professional carries this out for you, you can be sure you’re getting a safe whitening treatment.
This kind of whitening is especially effective if you have deep discolouration, maybe from years of smoking, drinking wine and coffee, or taking certain types of medication.
With Philips Zoom! WhiteSpeed, your smile can whiten up to 8 shades in 45 minutes*. Not only do you get a whiter smile, your dental professional will follow up whitening with our post-treatment gel that’s clinically proven to reduce sensitivity and help protect enamel.
With outstanding whitening and little to no sensitivity, you get the best of both worlds.
You want to nudge that smile up a couple of shades? With one of our take-home kits, you can brighten your smile gradually and conveniently, with a treatment that fits into your schedule.
To get the best results from take-home teeth whitening, consult with your dental practitioner to get the right treatment to meet your specific needs. Personalised treatments, prescribed by your dental practitioner, give you peace of mind as you whiten at home.
You get customised whitening trays that fit every contour of your teeth for even results and, depending on the strength recommended to you, you’ll have whiter teeth in one to two weeks. The gels used for take-home whitening contain ingredients that protect enamel and reduce sensitivity.
