Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening has become a popular cosmetic dental treatment in Melbourne. There is something about discoloured teeth that makes your smile look unattractive and also makes you feel insecure whenever you smile. Glenferrie Dental Clinic is a premier dental practice in Melbourne that offers a range of teeth whitening services to help patients achieve the smile they desire. At Glenferrie Dental, we offer a range of teeth whitening options to help you improve the colour of your teeth and achieve a brighter, more confident smile.
Different types of Teeth Whitening Treatments
Teeth whitening can be done using a variety of methods, including in-chair whitening, take-home whitening kits, and laser teeth whitening.
Each method has its benefits and drawbacks, and the right choice for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences.
In-chair Whitening
In an in-chair teeth whitening procedure, the dentist will use highly-specialised LED light technology and a special whitening gel to whiten your teeth. The latest technology used by our dentists includes the Philip Zoom In-Office Whitening Method which ensures you get a quick whitening treatment.
With this procedure, you can see results in less than one hour and it also brightens your teeth up to 8 shades whiter.
Take home Whitening
Take-home teeth whitening products are a convenient and effective way to get whiter teeth in the comfort of your own home. Our take-home kits use custom-made trays filled with whitening gel that fit over your teeth.
The trays are worn for a specified amount of time each day, and results can be seen in as little as two weeks. They are a great option for patients who prefer to whiten their teeth whenever it’s convenient, or for those who may not have the time for an in-chair treatment.
Laser Whitening
Laser teeth whitening is a state-of-the-art method for achieving a brighter smile. This method uses special lasers and bleaching gels to brighten your teeth’s appearance and is more effective than the take-home whitening kit.

Safety And Effectiveness Of Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a safe and effective cosmetic dental procedure when performed by a trained dental professional. There are some misconceptions and myths surrounding the safety of teeth whitening treatments. Despite the negativities, we take all necessary precautions to ensure the best possible results.
One common concern is tooth sensitivity. While some patients with sensitive teeth may experience temporary sensitivity during or after the treatment, this can usually be minimised by using a special toothpaste or mouthwash.
At Glenferrie Dental we use the Philips Zoom teeth whitening system, which is designed to minimise tooth sensitivity during and after the treatment.
What is the cost of Teeth Whitening?
In-chair teeth whitening is generally the most expensive treatment and it costs $700 since it is performed in a dental office under the supervision of a dental professional.
Take-home teeth whitening kits cost about $300. However, teeth whitening prices in Melbourne differ among clinics and there is a need to find one like Glenferrie Dental that offers friendly payment options and still delivers excellent results.
| Treatment Option | Cost |
|---|---|
| In-Office Whitening | $500 – $1,000 |
| Take-Home Whitening Kits | $250 – $500 |
| LED Whitening | $150 – $300 |
| Whitening Toothpaste | $10 – $50 |
Choosing The Best Teeth Whitening Treatment Melbourne
Choosing the best teeth whitening treatment for your needs depends on several factors, including your budget, lifestyle, and personal preferences. Other stains may be easily removed with a take-home whitening kit thereby eliminating the need to pay for other expensive procedures.
Another factor to consider is the amount of time you have available for the treatment. In-chair teeth whitening provides fast and dramatic results in just one teeth whitening session, making it a great option for patients who have an upcoming special event. Take-home whitening kits, on the other hand, provide more flexibility and allow you to whiten your teeth at your own pace.
Remember, your oral health is very important, and exposing your teeth to caffeine, carbonated beverages, and high amounts of sugar can stain your teeth. This will in turn weaken your natural teeth and expose them to more damage and decay.
