Teeth whitening treatment in progress at Dentistree in Camden

Professional teeth whitening can lift discolouration caused by everyday foods, drinks, smoking and ageing. At Dentistree in Camden, every whitening treatment starts with a dental check to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for whitening, and to identify the cause of any staining. We'll talk you through the in-chair and custom take-home options and help you choose what's most suitable for your goals and lifestyle.

Why dentist-supervised whitening matters

In Australia, professional whitening products contain higher concentrations of active ingredients than over-the-counter kits and can only be supplied or applied by a registered dental practitioner. A dental assessment first is important — whitening won't change the colour of fillings, crowns or veneers, and underlying issues such as decay, gum disease or exposed dentine should be addressed before any whitening is started. Some sensitivity during or after whitening is normal and usually settles within a few days.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Professional whitening, when assessed and supervised by a dentist, is generally considered safe for healthy teeth and gums. A check-up first helps identify any issues that should be treated before whitening.
Results vary from person to person and depend on the cause of staining, your starting shade and the type of whitening used. Whitening cannot change the colour of existing fillings, crowns or veneers.
When used as directed under dental supervision, professional whitening is not generally considered to damage enamel. Misuse of high-strength products without assessment can increase the risk of sensitivity and gum irritation.
Some temporary sensitivity to cold or pressure is common and usually settles within a few days. Your clinician can recommend products and techniques to help manage this.
Results can last from several months to a few years depending on diet, oral hygiene, smoking and other lifestyle factors. Occasional top-ups with take-home trays can help maintain your shade.
Whitening isn't suitable for everyone. It's generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for children with developing teeth, or for people with certain dental conditions. Your dentist will assess what's right for you.
