Cosmetic Dentistry

If you’re like most people, you take great care of your teeth. You brush twice a day, floss regularly, and see your dentist for check-ups and cleanings. But what happens when you want to take your smile to the next level? If you’re looking for a cosmetic dentist in Sydney, you should keep a few things in mind.

First, it’s important to find an experienced and qualified dentist to perform the procedure you’re interested in. Ask for before-and-after photos and be sure to read online reviews. Second, you’ll want to choose a dentist who uses the latest technology and techniques. This will help ensure that you get the best possible results.

Finally, don’t forget to ask about financing options. Many cosmetic dentists offer flexible payment plans that can make your dream smile more affordable than you might think. When it comes to finding a cosmetic dentist in Sydney, doing your research is key. With a little time and effort, you can find a dentist who will help you achieve the smile of your dreams – like Corner 32 Dental.

Kor whitening is one of the most popular teeth whitening methods available today. There are many reasons to choose Kor whitening, including its effectiveness, affordability, and convenience.

Kor whitening is an effective way to achieve whiter teeth. Kor uses a system that has been clinically proven to be effective at removing stains and discolouration from teeth. In addition, Kor offers a variety of different whitening gels that can be used to customise your treatment plan and maximise results.

The oxygen from the whitening gel is absorbed deeply into the tooth, dissolving, and removing stain molecules producing unbelievable results. With Kör, the ability of your teeth to absorb oxygen is restored and this is the main reason for its ability to produce such huge smile transformations!

There is almost always a small degree of relapse after whitening treatment has been completed. However, part of the Kör Whitening system is periodic maintenance which means the results are virtually permanent. Everyone receives a personalised easy to follow maintenance schedule that’s recommended for them to keep the result looking the same as it did the day that treatment was finished!

Kör Whitening products have been studied well and do not lead to any permanent damage to the teeth or gums. They are 100% safe to use but are NOT recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Kör Whitening is also gluten free.

In most cases, Kör Whitening produces little to no sensitivity. However, in patients who already have sensitive teeth, the teeth can become slightly more sensitive than usual during whitening treatment. There are many ways to manage this though, including applying Kör desensitiser during treatment as prescribed, the use of desensitising toothpaste, alterations to whitening frequency etc. and should not stop anyone from considering treatment.

Whitening is not recommended before the age of 14 but there are individual factors to consider and therefore should be discussed with your dentist. The younger the teeth are, the quicker and more impressive the whitening results are. On the flip side, there is absolutely no age limit for whitening!

The results with Kör Whitening are dramatic (see the many amazing Before and After photos on our Instagram feed), lightening up to 16 shades or more sometimes. The amount of whitening depends on which whitening protocol is used and your dentist can discuss these options with you to determine which one will suit you best.

No, never! Teeth whitening as a term is slightly misleading as what is really occurring is that the stains are being lifted from the teeth, so the teeth are actually being lightened (rather than whitened). This means the natural base shade and individual characteristics of your teeth will shine through and the result will always look beautiful and completely natural. Teeth that look very white and fake have usually been restored with veneers (plastic or porcelain facings).

Unfortunately, no. Whitening only works on natural teeth so any fillings, crowns or other dental work will remain the same colour. This might mean these will need to be changed after whitening if they can be seen and are affecting the smile. Likewise, if you need dental work on teeth that are visible when you talk or smile but would prefer your teeth to be whiter, it’s best to whiten your teeth before having your dental work done.

Certain highly pigmented foods and drinks (eg. black coffee/tea, red wine, curries) and lifestyle choices (smoking/vaping) should ideally be avoided or minimised as much as possible during whitening as well as afterwards. If this is not possible, it may take slightly longer to achieve the ideal result and a more intense maintenance protocol will likely be required to maintain the final result.

This will depend on the type of system chosen which will vary between individuals. The most commonly used system at Corner 32 is the Kör Max Whitening system. The process involves taking moulds (or scans) or your top and bottom teeth to make custom-made whitening trays which are very thin and comfortable to wear. The whitening gel is worn inside of these trays overnight, every night, for 2 weeks while sleeping and then there is usually a one-hour in-chair whitening visit at the clinic. You will then be given a maintenance kit to take home and a personalised recommended maintenance schedule.

Tetracycline staining is dark staining embedded within teeth, caused by certain antibiotics taken at a young age, while the adult teeth are still forming. For years we have known that tetracycline stains have been all but impossible to whiten. But why are these stains so resistant? It is because normal tooth darkening is caused by stains being trapped within the microstructure of the teeth whereas these stains are actually bonded strongly to the structure of the teeth themselves.

Although the degree of staining depends on many factors, and results of treatment cannot be guaranteed, it is amazing to now be able to offer a CONSERVATIVE treatment option such as the KöR Ultra-T Whitening System. Once upon a time, the only option for these cases would have been quite expensive and involved the grinding away of healthy tooth structure for porcelain veneers or crowns.

At Corner 32 Dental, we offer both Invisalign and Spark aligners. Invisalign is the most well-known clear aligner system and is very effective. Spark is a newer system which is also producing excellent results. Spark aligners are also clearer, thinner and more stain resistant. Your dentist will discuss both options to find which system will suit you best.
