What we do?
Professional Teeth Whitening: Whitening Agents Applied Under Clinical Supervision
Professional whitening involves the controlled application of approved whitening agents by a registered dental practitioner, aiming to enhance the natural brightness of teeth under professional supervision.
During your appointment, a dentist assesses your oral health to determine whether whitening is suitable for you. This allows the treatment to be tailored to your needs and delivered with appropriate clinical supervision. Results vary between patients depending on tooth condition, lifestyle factors, type of staining, and individual response to treatment. Only evidence-based whitening agents approved for professional use are applied.
Professional supervision allows monitoring during the procedure. Your dentist will explain the expected outcomes, possible side effects, and recommended aftercare so you have the information you need before deciding.

Results vary between individuals, and factors such as existing dental work, enamel condition and lifestyle habits can influence what is achievable. A professional consultation helps provide accurate, balanced information before making a decision.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about teeth whitening treatment are answered to help you understand the process, results, and what to expect during treatment.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
The longevity of teeth whitening results varies between individuals, depending on several factors, including your oral care habits and lifestyle choices. Here’s what typically influences how long your whiter smile may last:
- Individual Response to Treatment: Everyone’s teeth respond differently to whitening treatment, and the duration of results can vary significantly depending on your natural tooth structure and enamel characteristics.
- Daily Oral Hygiene Practices: Maintaining thorough twice-daily brushing and regular flossing helps preserve your whitening results by preventing new stains from forming on tooth surfaces.
- Dietary Habits and Staining Foods: Consuming foods and beverages that stain, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-coloured sauces, can gradually diminish whitening results.
- Tobacco Use: Smoking or using tobacco products can quickly lead to tooth discolouration and significantly shorten the lifespan of whitening treatments.
- Professional Maintenance and Touch-Ups: Regular dental checkups and professional cleaning help maintain your results, and your dentist can advise when touch-up treatments might be appropriate.
- Typical Duration Range: Many patients find their whitening results last anywhere from several months to two years, though this timeframe depends heavily on the factors mentioned above.
While whitening results fade over time, you can help extend them by maintaining consistent oral care and making mindful lifestyle choices. During your consultation for teeth whitening in Fremantle, we can discuss realistic expectations for your situation. We’ll provide guidance on caring for your smile and maintaining your whitening results for as long as possible.
Is teeth whitening comfortable?
Your comfort matters throughout the whitening process, and our team takes steps to support a positive experience. We’ll discuss your dental history and any existing sensitivity before treatment to determine the most suitable approach. If you have concerns about sensitive teeth, we can adjust the treatment or recommend alternative approaches. We’ll explain what to expect at each stage and keep you informed during your visit.
Who is not suitable for teeth whitening?
While teeth whitening can help many people achieve a lighter tooth shade, it’s not the right option for everyone. Below are some situations where teeth whitening may not be suitable or may require alternative approaches:
- Individuals with unaddressed dental decay: Active cavities must be addressed before whitening treatment begins. Whitening agents can penetrate decay and potentially irritate the inner tooth structure, causing discomfort. Your dentist will assess your oral health and recommend completing necessary restorative work first.
- People with severe tooth sensitivity: If you already experience significant sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods, whitening may temporarily increase this discomfort. Your dentist can evaluate the cause of your sensitivity and discuss whether whitening is appropriate for you or if alternative approaches might be more suitable.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women: As a precautionary measure, teeth whitening is generally not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. While research on whitening during pregnancy is limited, most dental professionals suggest waiting until after this period to proceed with cosmetic treatments.
- Patients with extensive dental restorations on front teeth: Whitening treatments only affect natural tooth enamel and do not change the colour of crowns, veneers, fillings, or dental bonding. If you have visible restorations on your front teeth, whitening may result in colour mismatches between your natural teeth and the restorations, which could require their replacement.
- Individuals with certain gum conditions: Whitening treatment may be uncomfortable for patients with active gum disease, receding gums, or exposed root surfaces, and these areas often don’t respond as well to whitening products. Your dentist will need to evaluate and address any gum health issues before recommending whitening procedures.
- Children and young teenagers: Teeth whitening is generally not recommended for patients under 18 years of age. Younger patients have larger nerve chambers in their teeth, which may increase the chance of experiencing sensitivity during or after treatment.
Your dentist can assess your circumstances during a consultation to determine whether teeth whitening is appropriate for you or recommend alternative options if needed.
How does professional teeth whitening work?
Professional teeth whitening uses formulated bleaching agents to address tooth discolouration, with results varying significantly between individuals depending on staining type and severity. Here’s what typically happens during a professional whitening treatment:
- Initial Assessment and Consultation: Your dentist will examine your teeth and gums to determine if whitening is suitable for you. This assessment helps identify any underlying oral health concerns that may need attention before whitening can proceed.
- Preparation and Protection: The dentist will clean your teeth to remove surface debris and plaque, then apply protective coverings to your gums and soft tissues. This preparation helps protect surrounding tissues so the whitening agent contacts only the tooth surfaces.
- Application of Whitening Agent: A professional-strength bleaching gel, typically containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, is carefully applied to your teeth. The concentration used in dental clinics differs from over-the-counter products and requires professional supervision and application.
- Activation Process: Some whitening systems use a laser to activate the bleaching agent, though not all methods require this step. The gel remains on your teeth for a specific duration — usually 15-30 minutes per application — and may be reapplied several times during one visit.
- Monitoring and Adjustment: Throughout the procedure, your dentist monitors your comfort and the progress of the whitening. If you experience any sensitivity, the treatment can be adjusted or paused as needed.
- Post-Treatment Care Instructions: After the whitening session, your dentist will provide guidance on caring for your newly whitened teeth, including dietary recommendations and oral hygiene practices that may help maintain results.
In-chair teeth whitening is a controlled process that allows your dentist to tailor the treatment to your specific needs while monitoring for any adverse reactions. All surgical and invasive procedures involve risks. We recommend seeking a second opinion from a qualified dental practitioner before proceeding with treatment. If you’re considering teeth whitening in Fremantle, book a consultation with our dental team to discuss whether it’s appropriate for you.
Does teeth whitening damage enamel?
Professional teeth whitening uses dental-grade bleaching agents that work to break down surface stains. When performed by a registered dentist, the treatment is carefully monitored. While the procedure is designed to minimise enamel impact, all dental procedures carry risks and considerations that should be discussed during consultation.
Whitening may cause temporary tooth sensitivity in some patients, typically subsiding within a few days. Overuse of whitening products or improper application can potentially affect enamel integrity. Professional supervision helps appropriately manage these risks.
During your consultation, we’ll assess your dental health, review your history, and discuss whether whitening is suitable for your circumstances. Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from a registered dentist.
