What is In-Chair Teeth Whitening?

In-chair teeth whitening is a professional whitening procedure where a high-concentrate bleaching agent is applied to the teeth. The solution is then activated using an activating blue light to break down stains and lighten their colour. 

Here at Dental + Skin Clinic, we offer 90-minute in-chair whitening sessions where you can sit back, relax and let us work our magic. During treatment, you’ll receive the highest concentration of the active ingredient: 38% Pola teeth whitening solution. Compared to other clinics, beauty salons can only use 6% formulations and most dental clinics use 25% formulations, whereas ours is 38%. We don’t mess around when it comes to teeth whitening, we offer only the strong formula because this is the one that will provide you with the best results!

We highly recommend pairing this treatment with a thorough tooth and gum cleaning, followed by polishing and a nourishing infusion of milk protein and fortifying fluoride for complete protection. It’s a comprehensive treatment that’s almost guaranteed to keep you smiling even longer.

Benefits of In-Chair Teeth Whitening

It’s no secret that brighter, whiter teeth lead to a more attractive smile. But there are many other benefits of getting your teeth professionally whitened. 

Fast results: professional dental whitening can deliver gorgeous results in just one session, typically within an hour. 

Safe and comfortable: you’ve probably seen those whitening kits that are being advertised all over social media. Many of those products contain harsh chemicals that can erode your enamel and damage your gums. With professional teeth whitening, you can rest assured knowing you’re getting a safe and effective treatment that will protect your teeth from further damage.

Removes stubborn stains: in-chair teeth whitening is a great option for removing those tough stains from coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking that at-home treatments just can’t handle.

Personalised treatment: during your professional whitening session, your dentist will tailor the treatment to your specific needs, ensuring that we achieve the shade of white you’re looking for with minimal sensitivity and discomfort.

Long-lasting results: the results from professional teeth whitening treatments are almost guaranteed to last longer than OTC products.

Our Teeth Whitening Process

STEP 1.

PRE-WHITENING CHECK

Before starting your treatment, we’ll perform a quick dental examination to make sure you don’t have any issues that need addressing prior to teeth whitening. We’ll also make a record of your current shade and show you a chart with an estimate of how many shades whiter your teeth can get. 

STEP 2.

PRE-WHITENING CHECK

Then, your cheeks and lips are positioned away from your teeth using a special cheek prop. It makes your face look like you’re mid-skydive.

STEP 3.

GUM LOVE

We apply a soothing gel over your gums and any areas of the teeth that we wouldn’t want to whiten, such as areas of gum recession.

STEP 4.

WHITENING AGENT

We apply 38% Pola teeth whitening gel over the top and bottom teeth and let it work its magic! And Voila! Hello, sparkling, healthy white teeth! To maintain results long-term, we recommend getting in-chair teeth whitening done every 6 months.

STEP 5.

NOURISHING MILK PROTEIN + FORTIFYING FLUORIDE

Following your whitening treatment, we apply a nourishing milk protein and fortifying fluoride solution over your teeth. This infuses your teeth with calcium and fluoride, ensuring that you’re not only getting a cosmetic treatment but also strengthening your teeth and improving your overall oral health.  

STEP 6.

LIP EXFOLIATION TREATMENT

We finish off the teeth whitening session with a pampering lip exfoliation treatment which will leave your lips feeling soft and plump.

SAFETY + COMFORT MEASURES​

Our top priority

Your safety and comfort are always our top priorities. We use only the highest-quality, TGA-approved whitening agents and active ingredients to make sure your teeth whitening is not only effective but also gentle on your teeth and gums. 

During the procedure, you can sit comfortably watching a movie on Stan wrapped on a warm blanket while we take extra care to shield your gums from the bleaching gel. After the treatment, we’ll perform a pampering lip exfoliation and apply a nourishing milk protein solution over your teeth. Then, we’ll send you home with an aftercare kit to keep your pearly whites looking bright and glowing for longer. 

Smile Transformation Packages

A smile transformation is a combination of services that will help you achieve the smile you deserve. Whether you need teeth whitening or aligned teeth, a smile makeover can enhance your facial aesthetics, promote anti-aging and improve your overall future dental and oral health. Every smile transformation is bespoke.

Causes Of Teeth Discolouration

So, what causes teeth discolouration? Normal wear and tear and ageing plays a role in teeth becoming duller as well as external factors like smoking, certain foods and beverages. Teeth can become discoloured for a variety of reasons but, luckily, most teeth can be fully restored to white with Dental + Skin Clinic’s teeth whitening service.
Some factors that can cause teeth to look dull or yellow include:

Types of Teeth Whitening

  • In-Chair Teeth Whitening: we declare ourselves fans of in-chair teeth whitening! This method is the safest, quickest way to achieve the whitest, shiniest smile.
  • Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kits: want to keep your pearly whites looking radiant for longer? With our at-home kits, you can receive the same superior treatment from the comfort of your home. Our experienced team will guide you through the process so you have everything you need on hand to whiten those teeth anytime you need.
  • Veneers: while not technically a teeth whitening procedure, many people with severely stained teeth opt to have one or more veneers applied. We offer both composite and porcelain veneers to cover up stains, chips, and other minor imperfections. It’s common for us to do a combination of teeth whitening and dental veneers as part of your smile makeover process.

Smile, your way

If you want a smile makeover, teeth whitening is often a go-to treatment to kick off your new, fresh look. Even if you’re opting for dental veneers to align your teeth, change their shape, or change their colour, getting your teeth professionally whitened can ensure your natural teeth are a white as possible, so we can create a brighter shade for the veneers. This allows a nice, clean canvas for our cosmetic dentist to work on.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • In-Chair Treatments: The cost of professional teeth whitening in Melbourne can vary depending on a few factors, including the type of procedure, the dental clinic, and any additional treatments you may need. Here at Dental + Skin Clinic, you can expect to pay $590 per in-chair whitening session. This includes 3 x 15 minute applications of 38% strength whitening gel, an after-whitening kit, lip exfoliation treatment, and nourishing milk protein application over your teeth at the end of the treatment.  
  • Take-Home Kits: Take-home kits are great if you’re short on time or want to top-up your professional whitening treatment from the comfort of home. Our kits are custom-made to fit your teeth and come with professional-grade whitening gel. The custom whitening trays that fit specifically to the shape and curvature of your teeth and gums cost $350 and refills are $90.

How long teeth whitening lasts depends on factors such as your diet, lifestyle habits, genetics, age and whether you’ve gotten your teeth professionally whitened in the past. On average, professional teeth whitening can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. 

At Dental + Skin Clinic, teeth whitening is done by our dentist, and it is a safe procedure TGA-approved by the Australian government and backed by the Australian Dental Association. Teeth whitening products purchased from the internet may not necessarily be safe as they are not all TGA-approved. 

Anyone seeking a quick freshen up to the colour of their teeth is a good candidate for teeth whitening. The ideal age to do teeth whitening is late teens to early twenties. However, even if you don’t fall into that age bracket, or have never whitened your teeth before, it’s never too late to try it out. We recommend pairing teeth whitening with a dental clean to ensure optimal cosmetic results.

Our in-chair whitening service is the most powerful in the area because we use something we call liquid gold. This simply refers to our professional whitening solution that contains 38% Pola teeth whitening. Most other practices use a strength of just 20% to 35%.
