Teeth Whitening in Greenvale, Craigieburn, Roxburgh Park, and Melbourne

Years of coffee, red wine, tea, or simply the ageing of enamel can leave teeth looking duller than they once did. It is one of the most common things people ask us about, and professional whitening is often a straightforward way to address it.

What matters is being honest about what whitening can do. Not every kind of discolouration responds to bleaching, and we will tell you upfront whether it is likely to give you the result you are hoping for, rather than promising one we cannot be sure of.

Professional whitening uses dental-grade bleaching agents at concentrations well above anything sold over the counter. The active ingredient, usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, breaks down the stain held within the enamel and dentine. It is applied under controlled conditions, with the gums and soft tissue protected throughout.

You can have it done in the chair at the practice, with custom take-home trays worn daily for a few weeks, or a mix of the two. The result depends on your starting shade, the type of staining, and how your teeth respond. One thing worth knowing: crowns, veneers, and fillings do not change colour with bleaching, so existing dental work stays the shade it is. Results vary from person to person.
