Teeth Whitening
Acheive a whiter, brighter smile
Teeth whitening is a fantastic procedure that transforms discoloured teeth to a natural healthy glow. At Mooroopna Dental Pratice, our team will guide your through the best options for teeth whitening and help you achieve the colour you desire.
In-Chair Professional Teeth Whitening achieves instant whitening results in one session! The procedure is performed in the dental chair with one of our dentist and is broken up into 15 minute sessions throughout the procedure. An initial free consultation is required to ensure we assess your teeth and discuss with you your whitening goals. After your session, it is normal to experience some sensitivty afterwards, de-senstising gel is given to help alleviate any discomfort. Results can be maintained for 6-12 months depending on diet and lifestyle factors.
Take-Home Whitening is a great option that allows you to safely achieve great results at home in 4-6 weeks. Custom trays are designed and prepared for your teeth, whitening gel is placed inside them and worn for a specific amount of time to gradually lighten your teeth. Although the process is a gradual alternative, it is great for those who have sensitve teeth and want to control their whitening at home.

Dental Veneers, Crowns and Bridges
Dental Veneers and Crowns work by covering a portion or all of the tooth to hold it together.
A crown may be required when too much tooth structure has been lost to decay or chipping, to hold the tooth together and give it back strength. Our crowns are generally made from a strong, tooth coloured ceramic and last for many, many years.
A Bridge is a great alternative to replace a missing tooth and may be an important treatment option to ensure the missing space in your mouth doesn't affect your other teeth in moving. Cosmetic dental bridges are made of natural, tooth coloured materials which fill the space where a tooth has fallen out or been removed. A typical dental bridge consists of a pontic (a filler tooth) that is attached to two surrounding strong tooth abutments (dental crowns).
Veneers are extremely durable and look just like a natural tooth. They are used to cover the entire front surface of a tooth and is bonded to the natural tooths structure. Veeners are a great option to correct the aesthetic appearance of front teeth, inluding changing their shape or colour. They are a very popular way of transforming a smile due to their strength and natural look.
An initial consultation is the first step in achieving your desired smile. This will involve a thorough check of your teeth, gums and jaw as well as possible diagnostic x-rays to look for any hidden problems impacting your smile.
After that, Getting started on your crown, bridge or veneers typically involves two seperate appointments;
In the first visit
Your dentists will prep and remove a small amount of the natural tooth structure to allow the dental Crown/Bridge to fit over your tooth comfortably and securely. A temporary crown will be placed over the tooth while the final restoration is being fabricated at a local dental laboratory in Victoria.
Your final visit
In about 2 to 3 weeks, you will return to Mooroopna Dental Practice for the Crown/Bridge fit appointment. Our dentists will cement the Crown/Bridge in place for a stable and permanent fit.
