A whiter, brighter smile can make a huge difference to your confidence. At Tino Pai Family Dental in Onehunga, we offer professional teeth whitening (or bleaching) treatments that are safe, effective, and tailored to you. It’s a simple way to enhance the beauty of your smile and get that radiant look you’ve always wanted.

Why Do Teeth Change Color?

Over time, it’s normal for teeth to lose their brightness. This can be caused by a number of factors, including:

  • Age: The inner layer of your teeth can naturally yellow over time.
  • Diet: Beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine, as well as certain foods, can cause staining.
  • Lifestyle: Smoking is a major cause of tooth discolouration.
  • Past Treatment: Sometimes, past dental work or medications can affect the colour of your teeth.

Our Take-Home Whitening System

We believe the most effective and convenient way to whiten your teeth is with our professional take-home system. The process is simple and is guided by our experienced team.

What to Expect from Your Whitening Treatment

Our take-home whitening system involves two easy appointments:

  1. Your First Visit: We’ll take an impression (a mould) of your teeth to create a custom-fitted, clear plastic tray. This tray is unique to your teeth and ensures the whitening solution is applied evenly and safely.
  2. Your Second Visit: You’ll try on your new trays to ensure a perfect fit. We’ll then provide you with your whitening solution and detailed instructions on how to use it safely and effectively at home.

You will wear the trays for a short period each day, and in just a couple of weeks, you’ll begin to see a dramatic difference in the shade of your teeth. We’ll also provide tips on how to manage any temporary sensitivity you might experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, teeth whitening is not permanent, but the results can last a long time. A simple touch-up treatment can be done every few years to maintain your bright smile.

Teeth whitening works only on natural tooth enamel. If you have old fillings, crowns, or other restorations, they will not change colour. We can discuss options for replacing these after your whitening treatment to ensure they match your new, brighter smile.

For a tooth that has had a root canal and has discoloured over time, we may be able to offer internal bleaching. This is a non-invasive procedure that whitens the tooth from the inside, often preventing the need for a crown. We can assess your situation and determine if this is a suitable option for you.
