October is Seniors Month in Frankston, a time to celebrate staying active, social and confident in every stage of life. Many patients aged 60 and over wonder if they can have their teeth whitened.
The answer is yes! Age alone is not a barrier. What matters most is your overall oral health.
Whitening for Mature Smiles
As we age, it’s natural for teeth to lose brightness due to years of tea, coffee, red wine or natural enamel changes. Many seniors choose teeth whitening to feel more confident for social outings, travel, family events or simply to enjoy a fresh look (age is no barrier when it comes to confidence). There are plenty of bright, healthy smiles in the 60-plus community and whitening is a simple way to enhance your appearance.
Is Teeth Whitening Safe for Older Adults?
Before whitening begins, we carry out a short consultation to check the condition of your gums, tooth enamel and any existing dental work. Whitening products are not suitable for everyone, but many seniors are great candidates once their oral health is confirmed. Crowns, veneers or dentures will not whiten, but the surrounding teeth can often be brightened for a more even appearance.
