Teeth Whitening
A bright, radiant smile is often the key to feeling confident and making a great impression. At George Street Dental Surgery Bathurst, we offer professional teeth whitening services that safely and effectively lift stains, giving you a whiter, more vibrant smile. Whether you have a special event on the horizon or simply want to feel more confident, our teeth whitening treatments can help you achieve the results you desire.
What Causes Teeth Staining?
Over time, a variety of factors can contribute to tooth discoloration, including:
- Diet: Dark-colored foods and beverages, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and berries, can stain the enamel over time.
- Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco often leads to yellow or brown stains on the teeth.
- Aging: As we age, the enamel on our teeth wears down, revealing the yellowish dentin underneath.
- Poor Oral Hygiene: Irregular brushing and flossing can allow plaque and tartar buildup, leading to discoloration.
- Medications: Certain medications, such as tetracycline, can cause intrinsic stains, especially if taken during childhood.
Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening provides a number of advantages over over-the-counter options:
- Effective Results: Our whitening treatments are designed to lift stains safely, producing noticeable results after just one visit.
- Customized Care: With professional whitening, treatments are tailored to your specific shade goals and sensitivity levels.
- Safety: Performed under the guidance of dental professionals, our whitening process minimizes risks, such as tooth sensitivity or gum irritation.
- Long-Lasting Brightness: Professional whitening typically provides longer-lasting results when combined with good oral care.

What to Expect During the Teeth Whitening Process
At George Street Dental Surgery Bathurst, our teeth whitening process is straightforward and designed for your comfort. Here’s what you can expect:
- Initial Consultation
- We begin with a consultation to examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine the most suitable whitening option for you. This ensures that the treatment aligns with your needs and expectations.
- Preparation and Protection
- For in-office whitening, we start by protecting your gums and lips to avoid irritation from the whitening gel. This allows us to focus the whitening agent only on your teeth for optimal results.
- Application of Whitening Gel
- We apply a professional-grade whitening gel to your teeth, which is then activated using a specialized light. The process takes about 15-20 minutes, and we may repeat it a few times for maximum whitening effect.
- Final Rinse and Results Check
- After the treatment, we’ll rinse your mouth and check the results to ensure you’re satisfied with the new shade. Our team will provide aftercare tips to help maintain your bright smile.
How to Prolong Your Teeth Whitening Results
With a few simple adjustments to your lifestyle and oral hygiene routine, you can keep your smile looking bright for longer:
- Avoid Stain-Causing Foods and Beverages: Try to limit coffee, tea, red wine, and other staining foods.
- Quit Smoking or Tobacco Use: Tobacco is one of the leading causes of yellowing teeth.
- Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush twice a day, floss daily, and consider using a whitening toothpaste.
