Teeth Whitening in Wantirna
Get a brighter smile with our teeth whitening treatment!
Teeth can get stained and discoloured very quickly over time. This is why we recommend scheduling a professional teeth whitening treatment in Wantirna with our dental professionals for the best results while protecting your enamel. We provide quick, safe and effective teeth whitening treatment, leaving you more confident with a brighter, whiter smile in no time.
ARE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR TEETH WHITENING?
All teeth whitening products contain peroxide. During the procedure, peroxide helps dissolve stains on your teeth by entering into the tiny pores in your enamel and breaking down the stains to give your teeth an improved, whiter look. The whitening level is customisable according to the amount of peroxide used and the length of the session. It’s important to remember that everyone’s smile is unique so the results differ from person to person.
We don’t recommend teeth whitening for pregnant/breastfeeding women or patients allergic to peroxide as this is a key element in teeth whitening products. If you have any other dental issues, such as receding gums or cavities, these will have to be treated before your whitening session. Individuals with sensitive teeth can be assessed for their suitability upon a consultation.
Our Teeth Whitening Process
We use advanced teeth whitening solutions to ensure you get the best results! Before you come in for your whitening treatment, we recommend scheduling a regular check-up to ensure the health of your gums and teeth. A scale and clean is then performed to remove plaque, tartar build-up and extrinsic stains. After this, you can choose from our top 2 whitening options, Poladay and Zoom 4.
Zoom 4 Whitening:
Leave our Practice in just 60 minutes with a smile that is shades lighter! As the latest in whitening technology, this is a speedy in-chair option that is safe and simple. We also have custom-made trays to help you continue maintenance from the comfort of your own home.
Poladay Teeth Whitening:
With this option, you can start your whitening treatment in the comfort of your home. All that’s required is to wear a custom-made tray for 30 minutes for a period of 5 to 14 days. This solution also helps in reducing tooth decay and teeth sensitivity!
What are the Benefits of Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening offers many benefits, such as:
- Boosts confidence
- Improved appearance
- Non-invasive cosmetic procedure
- Quick and convenient
- Highly effective
- Cost-effective

- Personalised treatment
- Minimal discomfort

Can whitening be used on dental work?
Teeth whitening treatments don’t have any effect on dental work which is why we often recommend getting whitening done before you choose to do any cosmetic dental restorations. This allows us to match the colour of your whitened teeth to create the restorations. When your natural teeth start to stain over time, you’ll be able to notice the difference. This is when you should contact our clinic to schedule your next teeth whitening treatment.
How much does teeth whitening cost in Wantirna?
This usually depends on your treatment method and if any additional treatments are required before the whitening process begins. Call us with your requirements and we’ll be able to give you a definite cost plan!
Professional teeth whitening VS DIY teeth-whitening kits
Is there a big difference between professional teeth whitening and DIY whitening kits? The answer is yes! You have a much higher risk of experiencing negative side effects with whitening that isn’t performed by a licensed professional.
When it comes to professional teeth whitening, an examination is performed to ensure that your gums and teeth are healthy before tooth whitening is commenced. To add to this, we perform a scale and clean using a prophy jet to remove all extrinsic stains before applying any bleaching material to your teeth.
At our practice, we will make sure to take protective measures (such as gel and rubber shields) that will protect your mouth from the bleaching product. The strength of the bleaching agent used in over-the-counter products is also not as effective as a professional treatment, which means your teeth won’t be as white as they could be. So you’ll be spending more money on multiple at-home treatments without getting the desired result. Over-the-counter whitening is not as cost-effective.
The whitening kit you take home from the dentist contains trays that are customised to fit your smile perfectly. They are made with your ideal levels of brightness after an examination of your teeth and your overall oral health. Since over-the-counter whitening trays are generally one-size-fits-all, your teeth won’t have maximum contact with the whitening product. At the same time, these trays are less likely to protect your gums.

How long do teeth whitening effects last?
Professional teeth whitening isn’t just safer than other options, it lasts longer too! With the right oral hygiene and maintenance, your whitening can last from several months to 3 years!
What to avoid for maximum results:
You’ll have to stay away from staining foods, beverages & certain lifestyle habits, especially in the first 48 hours, to avoid reversing the effects of your tooth whitening. This includes:
- Coffee
- Cigarettes
- Tea
- Red wine
- Fruit Juice
- Soy sauce
- Chocolate
- Tomato Sauce
Since it’s impossible to avoid these foods and beverages altogether, you can rinse your mouth with water afterwards to minimise staining. Such preventive measures, combined with oral hygiene practices such as brushing, flossing and general dental check-ups, will help you make the most out of your whitening treatment.
Alternatives to Teeth Whitening
Veneers for Severely Discoloured Teeth
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They can effectively address a variety of cosmetic dental issues, including severe tooth discolouration for patients who aren’t seeing effective results from traditional whitening methods. Veneers can provide a long-lasting solution by improving the colour, shape, and overall aesthetics of your teeth.
Tooth whitening is specifically aimed at lightening the shade of your natural teeth by removing surface stains and discolouration. It’s a non-invasive procedure that can be effective for many people who want to brighten their smile in a single dental visit without changing the shape or structure of their teeth. Hence, tooth whitening is generally less expensive and less invasive compared to veneers. Still debating on whitening vs. veneers? Read on to find out what’s best for you!
If your main concern is tooth discolouration and your teeth are otherwise in good condition, tooth whitening might be a suitable option. However, if you have other cosmetic issues or if your teeth are severely discoloured and resistant to whitening, veneers could be a more comprehensive solution.
We’ll be able to assess which solution is the best fit for you once you come in for a consultation.
