Teeth Whitening
What is teeth whitening?
Dental teeth whitening is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to lighten the natural shade of your teeth and reduce the appearance of discolouration.
At Melbourne Dental Studio, we use high-quality, safe peroxide-based whitening agents that are applied by a dental professional to ensure an even, controlled result. This process is an effective way to address surface stains, helping you feel more confident in your professional and social interactions.
Key benefits of professional
teeth whitening
- Provides a significant brightening effect that is often more visible and longer lasting than over-the-counter alternatives.
- Offers a more tailored approach to ensure the treatment suits your specific dental history and aesthetic goals.
- Uses advanced technology to minimise the risk of irritation to your gums and enamel.
- Allows for professional supervision, ensuring that any sensitive teeth whitening concerns are addressed promptly.
- Can enhance your overall facial aesthetic and serve as part of a smile makeover.
This process can take up to 1 hour, and we recommend getting your teeth cleaned before treatment to achieve the best results. In-chair whitening can be paired with a take-home kit to provide longer-lasting results.
Our take-home whitening generally involves having custom-made trays fitted to your mouth, then applying whitening gel to the trays at home and placing them in your mouth. Because it has lower peroxide content, take-home teeth whitening requires more applications than in-chair whitening, but can be a more convenient option.
The technique uses a specialised light called a Zoom Advanced Power Chairside Lamp. It speeds up the treatment by activating an additional 25% of the hero ingredient (hydrogen peroxide) in the whitening agent. This ensures that the actual structure of the tooth remains unchanged and unharmed during the process, as the oxygen helps to bleach any stained surfaces on the dentin and enamel.
In other words, you get a brighter result in less time while fully maintaining the health of your teeth.

Aftercare & maintenance for teeth whitening
If doing in-chair teeth whitening, you will usually only need one professional teeth whitening session per year and can also use at-home methods for touch-ups. For at-home teeth whitening, you will need about 7-14 consecutive days of application to achieve optimal whiteness. Your dentist will discuss how many sessions you might need to maintain results.
You will still need to brush your teeth regularly, and keep in mind that lifestyle choices also affect the longevity of results. For example, smoking or consuming tea, coffee, and red wine can cause the whitened appearance to fade faster.
Frequently asked questions about teeth whitening
-
The results of professional teeth whitening can last for a few months up to 3 years, but this varies from person to person. If you smoke, drink tea, coffee, or red wine, the results may last shorter because they can all stain your teeth.
-
Yes. Teeth whitening provided by a certified dental clinic is safe. The whitening agents used in both our in-chair and take-home options are designed to lift stains without damaging the enamel, provided you follow the clinical guidelines.
-
While most patients find the procedure comfortable, some may experience temporary sensitivity. We use advanced technology to manage sensitive teeth whitening concerns and ensure the process is as pleasant as possible.
-
Costs vary based on the treatment type — such as Zoom teeth whitening versus a take-home kit. We provide transparent, upfront quoting during your initial consultation, so don’t hesitate to reach out!
-
In-chair teeth whitening provides immediate results in a single visit using a high-strength peroxide solution and laser activation. Professional take-home kits contain less peroxide and don’t use laser activation, offering a more gradual approach with custom-fitted trays that you can apply on your schedule. In contrast, over-the-counter products lack this custom fit and clinical oversight, can contain a damaging acidic solution and/or cause inconsistent results. Investing in professional teeth whitening is a smart choice.
