Teeth Whitening
Melbourne

Professional teeth whitening is a clinical procedure designed to brighten your teeth by addressing extrinsic staining. We offer both in-clinic treatments and professionally supervised take-home kits. Both options utilise a hydrogen peroxide gel containing Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP), which is designed to support enamel integrity during the whitening process.

In-clinic treatments utilise light-accelerated technology to facilitate the whitening process within a single clinical appointment. This professional approach allows our clinical team to monitor your progress and manage any potential tooth sensitivity throughout the treatment.

Tooth discolouration is a common concern with various root causes:

Extrinsic Factors (External Stains):

• Diet: Coffee, tea, red wine, and certain foods.
• Lifestyle: Smoking and tobacco use.
• Poor Oral Hygiene

Intrinsic Factors (Internal Stains):

• Genetics: Natural tooth colour varies from person to person.
• Ageing: Enamel thins, revealing darker dentin underneath.
• Medications: Certain antibiotics and other drugs.
• Environmental: Excessive fluoride exposure.

Other Factors:

• Trauma: Injury to the tooth can cause discolouration.
• Dental procedures: Root canals can sometimes lead to darkening.

Professional teeth whitening Melbourne is designed to address many extrinsic stains caused by diet, lifestyle, and natural ageing. The results achieved can vary significantly for intrinsic staining.

During your consultation, our clinical team will assess the nature of your discolouration to determine if professional whitening is an appropriate option for you. In some cases, we may discuss alternative restorative treatments to help you achieve your desired aesthetic goals.

A significant advantage of professional teeth whitening at Bond St is the ability to tailor a treatment plan to your clinical needs and lifestyle.

Many patients select in-clinic whitening for its efficiency, as the procedure is completed in a single clinical appointment under professional supervision. Alternatively, some prefer to use custom-fitted take-home trays, which allow for a gradual whitening process over several days.

To determine which professional whitening method is appropriate for you, please book a consultation with our clinical team.

Professional whitening at Bond St utilises clinical-grade whitening agents that are not available in over-the-counter products. When administered by our clinical team, the treatment is professionally supervised to help manage tooth sensitivity and protect the surrounding gum tissue. This clinical approach allows for a tailored application designed to support the integrity of your enamel while achieving a brightened result.

The cost of professional teeth whitening varies depending on whether you choose an in-clinic procedure or a professionally supervised take-home kit.

At Bond St, we provide clear, detailed pricing information, which our treatment coordinator will discuss with you personally during the development of your tailored treatment plan. To assist in managing the costs of your clinical care, we also offer a range of payment options.

Professional teeth whitening begins with a comprehensive clinical assessment. It is essential to choose a dental practice that can accurately determine your suitability for treatment and identify any underlying oral health concerns.

At Bond St, our clinicians perform a thorough examination to evaluate the health of your teeth and gums prior to whitening. This professional oversight helps to manage common risks, such as tooth sensitivity or gum irritation. Because we prioritise your long-term oral health, whitening may only proceed once your teeth and gums are in a stable, healthy condition.

At Bond St Dental, your comfort and safety is at the heart of everything we do. During our teeth whitening Melbourne treatments, most of our patients report having a comfortable experience with little to no discomfort.

While some temporary sensitivity may occur after the treatment, it typically subsides within 24 to 48 hours. To enhance your comfort, our experienced Bond St team applies a special desensitising gel after the whitening process. We also provide personalised aftercare advice tailored to your specific needs.

It’s important to understand that mild sensitivity is a normal reaction to the whitening process and doesn’t indicate any harm to your teeth. At Bond St, we encourage open communication about any concerns you may have regarding sensitivity.

During your consultation, our dental professionals will address these concerns and ensure you’re fully informed and at ease. Our commitment at Bond St Dental is to provide you with not only a brighter smile but also a comfortable and positive whitening experience from start to finish.

The duration of professional whitening results varies between individuals. While the effect is intended to be long-term, several lifestyle factors can influence the maintenance of a brightened smile.

The accumulation of new extrinsic stains from coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco use will affect the stability of your results over time. To support your clinical outcome, it is recommended to maintain a consistent oral hygiene routine and limit the consumption of highly pigmented beverages. Using a straw for certain drinks and rinsing after meals can also help maintain the appearance of your teeth following treatment.

At Bond St, we prioritise both the appearance of your smile and your long-term oral health. While professional whitening is a routine procedure, we generally recommend a clinical interval of 6 to 12 months between full sessions.

This approach is designed to support the integrity of your enamel while managing the brightness of your smile. Our clinical team will work with you to develop a personalised whitening schedule tailored to your needs, ensuring your aesthetic goals are met in a way that is appropriate for your dental health.

At Bond St, we provide tailored treatments based on your individual clinical needs. While professional whitening is a suitable option for many patients, it is not appropriate for everyone.

During your consultation, our clinical team will conduct a thorough assessment to determine your suitability. We generally do not recommend whitening for individuals under the age of 16, those who are pregnant or nursing, or patients with active tooth decay or periodontal disease. If professional whitening is not clinically indicated for you, our team will discuss alternative restorative options to help you achieve your aesthetic goals while prioritising your oral health.

Restorative materials such as composite resin, porcelain, and ceramic—used in fillings, crowns, and veneers—do not respond to whitening agents. Consequently, these restorations will maintain their original shade even if the surrounding natural teeth are brightened.

Patients planning for new restorative work may choose to undergo professional whitening prior to the placement of crowns or fillings. This allows our clinical team to match the shade of the new restoration to the brightened natural teeth for a more integrated aesthetic result.

Maintaining the appearance of your teeth during orthodontic treatment can be a priority for many patients. While it is technically possible to perform professional whitening with certain appliances, such as lingual or removable braces, we generally recommend waiting until your orthodontic treatment is complete.

This approach ensures that the whitening agent can be applied evenly across the entire surface of each tooth, leading to a more consistent and integrated result once your braces are removed.

Your professional whitening treatment will be performed by our experienced dentists or dental hygienists. Even if you choose a take-home whitening kit, your trays are custom-fitted by our clinical team to ensure they are tailored to your unique dental anatomy.

At Bond St, we focus on providing a thorough clinical framework to support your professional whitening treatment.

To prepare for your session, we generally recommend a professional dental clean with our hygienists prior to your appointment. This removes surface plaque and calculus, allowing the whitening agent to maintain direct contact with the tooth enamel. Additionally, our clinical team advises limiting the consumption of highly pigmented foods and beverages for 24–48 hours before your treatment.

During your initial consultation, we will provide you with a comprehensive list of pre-treatment instructions tailored to your oral health needs. Our objective is to ensure you are fully informed and prepared for your clinical procedure.

At Bond St, we focus on achieving a brightened smile that complements your natural appearance. Our approach to professional whitening is designed to enhance your existing tooth shade rather than creating an artificial result.

Our experienced clinical team provides personalised treatments following a thorough assessment. During your consultation, we will discuss your aesthetic goals and determine a whitening process appropriate for your dental profile.

We aim to achieve results that are integrated and natural-looking, maintaining the unique character of your smile while prioritizing your oral health.
