A Smile Refresh

Your Smile Refresh: A Cleaner, Brighter, Fresher Smile

Sometimes, a little refresh is all your smile needs.

When you look in the mirror, are you generally happy with your teeth, but feel they could look a little cleaner, brighter or fresher? Perhaps you have noticed stains from coffee, tea or red wine, or your smile simply does not look as bright as it used to.

You may not need a complete smile makeover. Sometimes, professional cleaning and teeth whitening can make a noticeable difference.

Welcome to Smile Refresh at MyTeeth — a simple way to give your smile a fresh start.

Step 1: Start with a Professional Clean

Even with good brushing and flossing at home, plaque, hardened tartar and surface stains can build up over time. A professional cleaning helps remove these deposits, clean areas that are difficult to reach and leave your teeth feeling smoother and fresher.

Standard Scaling and Polishing

Traditional scaling and polishing removes hardened deposits from the teeth, helps clean around the gumline and polishes away certain surface stains. It is an important part of maintaining healthy teeth and gums.

EMS Airflow Cleaning

EMS Airflow uses a controlled combination of air, water and fine powder to help remove biofilm and many surface stains. It can be particularly useful for cleaning around the gumline and between teeth.

The most suitable cleaning method depends on your oral health, the condition of your teeth and gums, and your individual needs. Your hygienist can help determine the best approach for you.

Step 2: Brighten Your Smile with Professional Teeth Whitening

Once your teeth are clean, you may want to take the next step and brighten their natural colour. Professional teeth whitening can help reduce certain types of tooth discolouration and give your smile a lighter appearance.

At MyTeeth, your dentist can discuss suitable professional whitening options, including Zoom whitening.

Zoom In-Office Whitening

In-office whitening offers the convenience of professional treatment at the dental practice. It may produce a noticeable improvement in one appointment, although the result varies from person to person.

Your dentist will first assess your teeth and gums to determine whether whitening is suitable and discuss what results you can realistically expect.

Zoom Custom-Tray Whitening

Custom-tray whitening uses trays made to fit your teeth, together with professional whitening gel. You follow an individualised home-whitening schedule, allowing your teeth to brighten gradually.

During your consultation, you can discuss which approach best suits your teeth, lifestyle and whitening goals.

Is Smile Refresh Right for You?

A Smile Refresh may be a good starting point if you:

• Are generally happy with your teeth but want them to look cleaner and brighter.
• Have surface stains from coffee, tea, wine or everyday life.
• Would like to improve the appearance of your smile without extensive dental treatment.
• Want to maintain a fresh, healthy-looking smile.

If your teeth are chipped, worn, uneven, crooked or have noticeable gaps, you may benefit from additional treatment options.

Remember that whitening changes the colour of natural teeth; it does not change their shape or alignment. Crowns, veneers and fillings do not whiten in the same way as natural teeth, so this should be considered when planning treatment.

Your Smile. Your Choice.

Not every smile needs a major change. For some people, a professional clean and whitening are all that is needed to feel more confident about their smile.

Others may want to explore small improvements to tooth shape, worn edges, gaps or alignment. If that sounds more like you, our Smile Upgrade and Smile Transformation pathways may be worth exploring.

You do not need to decide on a treatment before you visit us. We can assess your teeth, listen to what you would like to change and help you understand your options.

Ready for Your Smile Refresh?

Your smile deserves care that is suited to you. If you would like cleaner, brighter, fresher-looking teeth, the first step is a conversation about your goals and the options available.
