Professional Teeth Whitening in Bundoora

Over time, teeth may develop staining from factors such as coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco and ageing. Professional teeth whitening uses bleaching agents to reduce certain types of staining, although the degree of colour change varies between patients.

At our clinic, we use ZOOM! whitening products for both in-chair treatments and take-home whitening kits. The concentration and application method vary depending on the whitening option selected and the patient’s individual circumstances.

Professional In-Chair Teeth Whitening

In-chair teeth whitening is performed at the dental clinic and may be considered for patients who prefer whitening to be completed under professional supervision. Treatment time and the degree of colour change vary between patients.

What to expect

The degree of whitening achieved varies between patients and depends on factors including the type and depth of staining.

Custom Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kits

We also provide custom take-home whitening kits using ZOOM! whitening gel and trays made to fit the patient’s teeth. Your dentist will provide instructions on how and when to use the whitening product.

What’s included:

Take-home whitening generally produces colour change gradually over the treatment period. Some patients may also use take-home whitening following in-chair treatment where clinically appropriate.

Worried About Sensitivity?

Teeth whitening can cause temporary tooth sensitivity or irritation of the gums or other soft tissues. Patients with pre-existing sensitivity should discuss this with their dentist before treatment.

Depending on your circumstances, the dentist may adjust the whitening protocol or recommend products to help manage sensitivity before, during or after treatment.

Who Is Teeth Whitening Suitable For?

Teeth whitening may be suitable for some adults with healthy teeth and gums. Suitability depends on factors including the cause of tooth discolouration, existing dental restorations, tooth sensitivity and overall oral health. Whitening may not be appropriate in some circumstances, including during pregnancy or where untreated dental disease is present.

A dental examination before whitening can help identify dental concerns that may need to be addressed first. Fillings, crowns, veneers and other restorations do not whiten in the same way as natural tooth structure, which may result in colour differences after treatment.

Looking After Your Teeth After Whitening

The duration of whitening results varies between patients and can be affected by diet, smoking, oral hygiene and other lifestyle factors.

  • Limit staining foods and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine, curry)
  • Avoid smoking or using tobacco products
  • Brush twice daily and floss once a day
  • Use a whitening toothpaste 1–2 times per week
  • Schedule regular check-ups and cleans with our Bundoora dental team

Tooth colour can gradually change again over time. Your dentist can advise whether further whitening may be appropriate based on your individual circumstances.

The duration of whitening results varies between patients. Diet, smoking, oral hygiene, the original type of staining and other individual factors can affect how tooth colour changes over time.
