There are many reasons why people opt to whiten or brighten their teeth. White teeth can dramatically alter our appearance and how people interact with us. Studies show that individuals with whiter teeth are perceived as more attractive, sociable, friendly and intelligent. This may be because people with a whiter, brighter smile often display higher self-confidence and self-esteem. Additionally, whitening our teeth can turn back the clock as our teeth naturally darken and become discoloured as we age; it’s one of the simplest anti-aging procedures available. As a result, teeth whitening is one of Australia’s most common cosmetic procedures.
At Maidstone Dental we use the Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed in-office teeth whitening system allows us to brighten your smile in just 60-90 minutes. This advanced Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed uses a proprietary LED light to accelerate whitening for maximum results in minimal time, reversing stains from food and drinks, ageing, and even discolouration from some types of medication.
When people think of teeth whitening, many think of old-school teeth whitening lights that used to generate heat and made teeth more sensitive. This is less of a concern with newer technologies like Philips Zoom as they do not generate heat. The light isn’t doing the bleaching; it only initiates the bleach.
At Maidstone Dental, all our teeth whitening treatments start with a consultation with your dentist to ensure your mouth is healthy and you are ready to whiten. They will prescribe the best teeth whitening kit for you, and answer any questions you may have. Then you’ll be fully armed with the knowledge to safely and effectively whiten your smile at home.
The Philips Zoom! take-home teeth whitening kits are a safe and convenient way to get your smile noticeably whiter in one to two weeks. It uses specially formulated gels protect enamel, reduce sensitivity and help improve your teeth’s lustre.

It’s best to seek our advice on which whitening product is most suitable for your and approximately how many shades whiter you are able to achieve.
