Stained or discoloured teeth can dull even the healthiest smile. Professional teeth whitening at First Choice Dental delivers noticeably whiter results that are safe, long-lasting, and far more effective than anything you'll find at the chemist.
We offer both in-chair and take-home whitening so you can choose the option that fits your lifestyle and timeline.
Dramatic results in about an hour. Walk in, walk out whiter.
Gradual whitening on your own schedule, with professional-grade results.
Professional whitening works well for most people with natural teeth that have become stained or yellowed over time. Common causes of discolouration include coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and simply ageing.
During your consultation, we'll assess your teeth and gums to make sure whitening is appropriate. We may recommend a clean first to ensure even results.
Good to know: Whitening works on natural tooth enamel but won't change the colour of existing crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you have visible restorations, we'll discuss your options so everything matches.
Three simple steps to noticeably brighter teeth.
We examine your teeth, discuss your whitening goals, and recommend the right option. A professional clean beforehand ensures the whitening gel works evenly across every tooth.
For in-chair, you relax while we apply and activate the whitening gel over about an hour. For take-home, we fit your custom trays and provide the gel with clear instructions.
Walk out with a visibly brighter smile. With good oral hygiene and occasional top-ups, your results can last 1–3 years depending on your diet and lifestyle.
Everything you need to know before whitening your smile.
Results typically last 1–3 years depending on your diet, lifestyle, and oral hygiene. Regular brushing and avoiding heavy staining foods and drinks (coffee, red wine, curry) will help maintain your results. Periodic top-up treatments extend the longevity further.
Some patients experience mild, temporary sensitivity during or after whitening. We use desensitising agents and can adjust the treatment strength to minimise discomfort. Any sensitivity typically resolves within a day or two.
Yes. Professional whitening products used under dental supervision are safe for tooth enamel. Unlike some DIY methods (charcoal, baking soda scrubs), professional whitening does not abrade or damage the tooth surface.
We provide a full cost breakdown at your consultation. Pricing depends on whether you choose in-chair or take-home whitening. Payment plans are available through Mac Credit, and some health funds offer partial rebates for whitening as part of cosmetic dentistry.
Whitening gel only works on natural tooth enamel — it won't change the colour of fillings, crowns, or veneers. If you have visible restorations, we can discuss a plan to whiten your natural teeth first, then replace or adjust restorations to match your new shade if needed.
