Teeth Whitening in Albury
A brighter smile can do more than enhance your appearance. It can lift your confidence, make special occasions – from graduations to weddings – feel even more memorable, and help you smile more freely every day. Professional whitening at K&R Dental offers an affordable, dentist-supervised way to refresh the brightness of your smile with care and guidance from a qualified dentist.
Dr Jai Rawal (Dentist) and our friendly team provide gentle, personalised care to make your experience relaxed and enjoyable from start to finish.
Why Teeth Become Discoloured
It’s natural for tooth colour to change over time. Everyday habits and ageing can affect how bright your smile looks.
Common causes include:
- Coffee, tea, red wine, and certain foods
- Smoking or tobacco use
- Natural ageing and enamel thinning
- Certain medications or poor oral hygiene
- Genetics
Understanding what contributes to discolouration helps you make confident decisions about your dental health and whitening goals.
Who Can Have Teeth Whitening
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are suitable for whitening. Before beginning, your dentist will carefully assess your oral health to ensure it’s the right choice for you. Whitening may not be recommended during pregnancy or if you have untreated decay.
Mild sensitivity is common for some people. Before starting, your dentist will check fillings or crowns, as these materials don’t change colour like natural enamel.
Professional Whitening Options
Our practice offers several dentist-supervised options to suit your needs.
Zoom! In-Chair Whitening
This in-practice procedure uses a professional whitening gel activated by LED light. The process usually takes about 90 minutes and can produce visible improvements in most cases.
Take-Home Whitening
Custom trays and whitening gel allow you to brighten your smile gradually at home over 10 to 14 days. It’s flexible, comfortable, and produces noticeable results.
Pola Light Kit
This professional-grade at-home system combines an LED mouthpiece with whitening gel. You’ll use the kit for 10 to 15 minutes a day after your dentist confirms your suitability. Many people notice visible results within about five days.
Benefits include gentle application, convenience, and dentist supervision for reliable results. With proper care, many patients maintain their brighter smile for one year or longer.
What to Expect
Your whitening session begins with a consultation to check that your teeth and gums are healthy. For in-chair whitening, the dentist applies the gel and activates it with LED light for a quick and comfortable visit.
If you prefer to whiten at home, you’ll receive custom trays and clear instructions. Once your whitening is complete, it’s best to avoid dark foods and drinks for 48 hours, brush gently, and use a straw for staining beverages. Regular cleans and occasional top-ups help maintain your results.
