Teeth whitening is one of our most popular cosmetic services, and we offer both in-chair whitening and take-home whitening kits to suit a wide range of patient needs. We only use the most trusted and reliable whitening brands, including Zoom, POLA and Opalescence.

These brands have been used for many years by dental professionals all around the globe, due to their high success rates, longevity, and low-sensitivity. While teeth whitening is suitable for many patients, you must always undergo an initial assessment with our dentists to ensure these treatments are right for you. We also perform a clean to remove plaque build-up and surface stains. This allows the whitening formula to produce more successful results.

Whitening Options

Teeth Whitening in a Single Visit

For those wanting to achieve a whiter, more beautiful smile in just one visit to our dental clinic, our teeth whitening services are for you. In an appointment lasting approximately 90 minutes, patients are invited to sit back and relax while the Zoom in-chair whitening system works its magic. The process involves a formulated whitening gel being applied to your teeth before it is exposed to a specially developed blue light for periods of 15 minutes at a time. The gel is then reapplied several times to achieve the patient’s desired shade of whitening.

Take-home Whitening Kits

We also provide take-home whitening kits using Zoom and Opalescence. These are popular choices among patients who wish to gradually whiten their teeth in the comfort of their own home, or who simply do not have enough time to come in for our 90-minute in-chair whitening. Our dentists create a custom-fitting tray for each patient, which is then filled with the whitening gel to be worn for short periods of time each day. The take-home kits include everything a patient needs for their teeth whitening journey, including instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is teeth whitening, and how does it work?

Teeth whitening is a process designed to lighten the colour or shade of your teeth by removing stains and discolouration. It involves using a specially formulated gel applied to the teeth, which may be activated by a light in an in-chair setting or used with custom-fitted trays in a take-home kit, which has been fitted by your dental professional.

Is the procedure safe?

When done under the supervision of experienced dental professionals using trusted products and techniques, teeth whitening is considered safe.

Does this cosmetic procedure hurt or cause sensitivity?

Some individuals may experience temporary sensitivity afterwards. Your dental professional can provide guidance to help manage any discomfort.

Does teeth whitening remove all types of stains?

This procedure helps with most surface stains caused by food, drink, or ageing. However, stains from certain medications or conditions may not respond as well. Consult your dental professional to understand your specific situation.

Are there any foods or drinks I should avoid after brightening my teeth?

Yes, certain foods and drinks, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-coloured sauces, can stain teeth. Avoid these for at least 48 hours after the procedure for the best results.

How long do the results last?

Results may last up to two years; however if you use custom trays provided to you by your dental professional, and follow the care recommendations, you will maintain your new shade.

How much does professional teeth whitening cost?

In-chair whitening with custom trays: $700
Take-home whitening kit: $450

Is this cosmetic procedure suitable for everyone?

Not everyone is a candidate. A dental assessment is necessary to determine if it is appropriate for you, especially if you have gum disease, enamel issues, or extensive restorations.

Can I whiten my teeth if I have dental restorations like crowns or veneers?

No, teeth whitening does not work on crowns, veneers, or other restorations. These materials do not change colour, so whitening may result in uneven shades.

What is the difference between in-office whitening and at-home kits?

In-office whitening is a quick procedure completed in about 90 minutes at the clinic. It uses a concentrated gel activated by a special light for noticeable results in a single session. Take-home kits, on the other hand, involve a gradual process in which custom trays filled with whitening gel are used daily at home, offering convenience for those with busy schedules.
