A brighter smile with professional teeth whitening

Professional teeth whitening at Kallangur Dental Surgery lightens the natural colour of your teeth without removing any tooth surface. The whitening gel breaks down the pigments that cause stains, so they become less concentrated and your teeth look brighter. Choose Zoom in-chair whitening at our Anzac Avenue practice, a take-home kit with custom trays, or both, after a dentist has checked that your teeth and gums are ready.

Zoom in-chair whitening in about an hour, with results that vary by stain type
Take-home kits from $250 and in-clinic whitening from $800

Your teeth whitening cost depends on the method you choose, the products used and what your teeth need. These figures are a guide only, and we confirm your price at a consultation before any whitening starts. Whitening is cosmetic, so most health funds do not cover it; ask your fund if you are unsure.

Why teeth darken

Why do teeth get stained or discoloured?

Teeth rarely yellow overnight. The colour shifts gradually, and the causes are usually a mix of habits, health and genetics:

Smoking or chewing tobacco, which leaves brown, stubborn marks
Strongly coloured food and drink such as coffee, tea, red wine, cola, soy sauce and berries
Certain antibiotics taken in childhood, which can discolour teeth from within
Genetics, since some people simply have darker or more yellow enamel
Some mouthwashes, especially rinses with chlorhexidine or cetylpyridinium chloride
Plaque build-up from missed brushing and flossing, which lets stains cling to the surface
Too much fluoride from toothpaste, water or supplements while teeth were forming

Surface stains from food, drink and smoking usually respond well to whitening. Stains inside the tooth may lighten less, and our teeth discolouration page explains the other ways they can be treated.

In the dental chair

In chair teeth whitening with Zoom in Kallangur

We use Philips Zoom whitening, a system many patients searching for Zoom teeth whitening in Brisbane will already know. In the chair, your dentist first places a protective barrier over your gums, then applies the Zoom whitening gel to your teeth. You can sit back while it works, and after about an hour the gel is removed and you see the change straight away. How much lighter your teeth become depends on your starting shade and the type of staining, so individual results vary.

Professional whitening is a quick, non-invasive cosmetic treatment, which is why it appeals to people with a wedding, graduation or photo coming up. Patients visit us from North Lakes, Mango Hill, Petrie and Murrumba Downs, and there is parking at the back of the building.

How it works

Dentist teeth whitening, step by step

In-chair or at home, professional whitening at Kallangur Dental Surgery follows the same careful path.

Free smile consultation

Your dentist checks for decay, gum problems and old fillings or crowns, works out what kind of staining you have, and tells you honestly whether whitening will give the result you want.

Recording your shade

We note your current tooth shade so you can compare later, then recommend in-chair, take-home or a combination based on how quickly you want results and how much you want to spend.

Whitening your teeth

For in-chair Zoom whitening we protect your gums and apply the gel in the chair. For a take-home kit we make trays that fit your teeth and show you how much gel to use and how long to wear them.

Aftercare and refreshers

We compare your new shade with where you started and explain which foods and drinks to go easy on for the first couple of days. Extra gel is available when you want to refresh your smile.

Good to know

Teeth Whitening - frequently asked

How much does professional teeth whitening cost?

At Kallangur Dental Surgery, take-home whitening kits are around $250 to $400 and in-clinic whitening is $800. We confirm the price for your teeth at your consultation, before any treatment begins.

In-chair or take-home whitening: which works better?

Both use professional gel and both can lighten teeth well. In-chair whitening gives a visible change in one visit, which suits people with a deadline, while a take-home kit works more slowly over a couple of weeks and costs less. Some patients start in the chair and use a kit afterwards to keep their shade.

How long does teeth whitening last?

Whitening is not permanent, and results typically hold for somewhere between several months and a few years. Coffee, tea, red wine, soft drinks and smoking fade it sooner, and a short refresher with your trays every so often helps keep teeth bright.

Is teeth whitening safe for my enamel?

Dentist-supervised whitening is considered safe for healthy enamel when used as directed. We check your teeth and gums before you start, protect your gums during in-chair treatment, and choose a gel strength that suits your teeth.

Does whitening work on crowns or veneers?

No. Whitening gel only changes the colour of natural enamel, so crowns, veneers and tooth-coloured fillings stay the same shade. If you plan to have porcelain veneers or dental bonding, whitening first lets us match the new work to your brighter teeth.

Who is a good candidate for teeth whitening?

Most adults with healthy teeth and gums can whiten. Your dentist will look at your oral health and the kind of discolouration you have, because staining from inside the tooth does not always respond to whitening. In that case veneers or crowns may be a better way to change the colour.

Are over-the-counter whitening kits the same as a dentist's take-home kit?

No. A dentist's take-home kit comes with trays made for your teeth, gel chosen for your goals and instructions from someone who has checked your gums. Shop-bought kits use generic trays or strips, and nobody has looked at your gums or teeth before you use them, which can lead to irritation or patchy results.

Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?

Some people notice mild sensitivity or gum tenderness during or after whitening. It is temporary and usually settles within a few days, and a desensitising toothpaste can help. Let us know if your teeth are already sensitive so we can adjust your treatment.

I feel anxious about dental treatment. Can you help me relax?

Tell us at your consultation. Our dentists regularly see nervous patients and can talk you through options that may help you feel calmer during in-chair whitening, depending on your health. Any extra cost is explained separately before treatment.
