Whitening products use bleaching agents to lighten natural teeth. Tooth colour can vary with age, diet, smoking and other factors, and not all discolouration responds to whitening.

Whitening does not change the colour of fillings, crowns or veneers. Sensitivity and gum irritation can occur. Your dentist can discuss these limitations and whether treatment or no treatment is appropriate for you.

Dentist-supervised take-home whitening uses trays and whitening gel prescribed for your situation.

Use only the amount of gel, frequency and wear time directed by your dentist. Do not extend treatment or wear trays overnight unless specifically instructed. Contact the practice if you experience sensitivity or irritation.

The response and treatment duration vary. For information about the take-home option, view our take-home whitening page.

Philips Zoom in-chair whitening uses a whitening gel applied during a dental appointment. Your dentist will explain the process and measures used to protect the surrounding tissues.

Treatment can cause tooth sensitivity and soft-tissue irritation. Results vary with the cause of discolouration and individual factors; no particular shade or appointment outcome is guaranteed.

• Whitening may lighten natural teeth in suitable cases.
• The degree and duration of colour change vary.
• Fillings, crowns and veneers do not whiten in the same way as natural teeth.
• Sensitivity and gum irritation can occur, and repeat treatment may not be appropriate for everyone.

For a professional Teeth Whitening Canberra experience, our trained dentists provide personalised treatments tailored to your dental needs. A consultation is always the first step, allowing our dentists to understand your goals and desired results.

We also assess the overall health of your teeth and gums. Achieving the best outcome requires your mouth to be in good health. If there are concerns such as tooth decay or gum disease, our dentists will recommend an appropriate treatment plan before proceeding with whitening.

Because everyone’s teeth and sensitivity levels differ, teeth whitening may not be suitable for all patients. For example, those with hypersensitive teeth may experience increased sensitivity from bleaching agents. Dental conditions like decay, gum recession, or periodontal disease should be addressed before whitening. Whether you choose a take-home kit or in-chair treatment, our dentists will ensure your teeth are suitable for whitening before beginning any procedure.
