Professional In-Chair Teeth Whitening to Enhance Your Natural Smile
The Benefits of Choosing In-Chair Teeth Whitening Treatment
In-chair teeth whitening at Southside Friendly Dental Care in Wishart is a safe and convenient option for patients seeking a professionally guided way to improve the appearance of discoloured teeth.
- The procedure is carried out by a dental professional, providing close supervision throughout the treatment.
- It is typically completed in one visit, making it a practical option for patients with busy schedules.
- The whitening process uses a professional-grade gel designed to reduce surface and deeper stains.
- The treatment is performed in a calm and comfortable environment, helping you feel relaxed during your visit.
Are You an Ideal Teeth Whitening Procedure Candidate?
Teeth whitening may be suitable for individuals who want to improve the appearance of stained or discoloured teeth safely. You may be a suitable candidate if:
- You have healthy teeth and gums without unmanaged dental problems or significant sensitivity.
- You have mild to moderate discolouration caused by food, drinks, smoking, or natural ageing.
- You do not have visible dental restorations, such as crowns or veneers, as whitening does not change their colour.
- You maintain a regular oral hygiene routine and attend dental check-ups.
- You are looking for a safe, professional option to brighten your smile for an event or personal reasons.

FAQs About Teeth Whitening
Can yellow teeth be whitened?
Yes, yellow teeth can often be lightened with professional teeth whitening options available at our dental clinic in Wishart.
- In-chair whitening uses the Pola system. A whitening gel is applied to your teeth under supervision. It’s designed to break down stains and may show visible results in a single visit.
- Take-home kits are also available and include custom trays and gel. This option works more gradually over several weeks.
Both methods aim to reduce discolouration and support a more refreshed appearance when combined with good dental care.
Can you whiten yellow teeth just by brushing?
Brushing helps maintain oral hygiene but is usually not enough to whiten yellow teeth. Whitening toothpaste may remove minor surface stains but does not address deeper discolouration.
Professional options like in-chair teeth whitening or custom take-home kits are often recommended for more visible improvement. These treatments use whitening gel that targets stains below the enamel surface.
While brushing supports gum health and prevents new stains, long-term discolouration usually requires professional care. If you’re considering teeth whitening in Wishart, our dental team can guide you on options suited to your needs.
What do dentists use to whiten teeth?
Dentists use professional-grade whitening gels designed to reduce staining on natural teeth. At Southside Friendly Dental Care, we offer two options for teeth whitening.
- In-chair whitening uses the Pola system. A whitening gel is applied during your appointment and monitored by a dental professional. It is designed to lift surfaces and deeper stains.
- Custom take-home kits include whitening trays and gel for use at home. This method allows gradual whitening and can be tailored to your schedule and oral health needs.
Your dentist will recommend a suitable option for you following a consultation.
How long does a teeth whitening procedure take?
An in-chair teeth whitening appointment usually takes between 60 and 90 minutes. Here’s a general breakdown of the process:
- Consultation (10–15 minutes):
Your dentist will assess your teeth and determine if in-chair whitening is suitable for you. - Preparation (10–15 minutes):
Your teeth are cleaned, and a protective barrier is applied to your gums. - Whitening (45–60 minutes):
Whitening gel is applied in intervals, with each stage carefully monitored.
Several factors can affect the overall duration:
- Level of staining:
Teeth with deeper or older stains may need extra time or multiple gel applications. - Tooth sensitivity:
If sensitivity occurs, your dentist may pause or adjust the treatment for comfort. - Treatment goals:
Some patients may prefer a more gradual approach depending on their whitening expectations. - Existing dental work:
Crowns or fillings may influence the time needed to complete the procedure safely.
How long will the results of teeth whitening last?
Teeth whitening results can vary, but many patients notice effects lasting several months to a few years. This depends on your habits, lifestyle, and oral health.
Here are some factors that may affect how long the results last:
- Oral hygiene:
Regular brushing and flossing may help slow the return of stains. - Diet:
Foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries can cause new staining. - Smoking:
Tobacco use can lead to discolouration that shortens whitening longevity. - Enamel and tooth condition:
Natural enamel thickness or shade differences may influence the outcome. - Dental visits:
Ongoing check-ups and cleanings can help maintain your smile’s appearance. Touch-ups may be suggested if needed.
Is teeth whitening safe for my teeth and gums?
Teeth whitening can be safe when provided by a dental professional using well-monitored methods and approved products.
Here are a few reasons why professional whitening is often recommended:
- Professional oversight:
The procedure is monitored by your dentist to help reduce risk to teeth and gums. - Protective barriers:
During treatment, a shield is placed on your gums to protect soft tissue from the whitening gel. - Formulated products:
The gels used are designed for use on natural teeth and applied according to clinical guidelines. - Tailored care:
Your dentist will consider your oral health and history to help minimise side effects such as sensitivity.
Are there any side effects to teeth whitening?
Some people may experience mild side effects during or after whitening treatments. Possible side effects include:
- Tooth sensitivity:
Whitening can cause short-term sensitivity, especially to hot or cold foods. Using sensitive toothpaste may help. - Gum irritation:
The gel may irritate the gums if it contacts soft tissue, but protective barriers are used during treatment. - Uneven results:
If teeth have different levels of discolouration, the shade may vary at first. - Staining can return:
Over time, exposure to stain-causing foods, drinks, or smoking may lead to discolouration returning.
These usually settle over time, but it’s important to discuss any concerns with your dentist.
What can I do to maintain my whitening results?
Maintaining whitening results depends on daily habits and follow-up care. The following steps may help reduce future staining:
- Brush and floss regularly:
Good oral hygiene supports both tooth health and appearance. - Limit staining foods and drinks:
Reduce coffee, tea, red wine, and similar items. Use a straw when possible. - Avoid tobacco products:
Smoking or vaping can contribute to stains and affect overall oral health. - Use whitening toothpaste:
Some toothpastes may help with stain control after whitening. - Attend regular check-ups:
Dental cleans can remove surface stains and help maintain your results. - Ask about touch-ups:
Your dentist may recommend occasional whitening treatments if needed.
How much is professional teeth whitening?
The cost of professional teeth whitening depends on the method used and your individual treatment needs. In-chair whitening usually ranges from $500 to $1,000 per session.
Several factors can affect the total cost:
- Treatment type:
In-chair options are more immediate, while take-home kits offer gradual results over time. - Number of sessions:
Some patients may require more than one visit. - Pre-treatment care:
Cleanings or addressing existing conditions may add to overall costs. - Location and services:
Fees can vary between clinics based on equipment, materials, and support.
At Southside Friendly Dental Care, we offer both in-chair and take-home whitening options for patients in Wishart and nearby areas. During your consultation, your dentist will assess your needs and provide a tailored quote.
Is it worth getting your teeth whitened at the dentist?
Professional teeth whitening offers benefits that over-the-counter products may not provide. Treatment is supervised, and whitening agents are applied based on oral health and goals.
Some patients choose in-chair whitening for efficiency, while others prefer a gradual approach with take-home kits. Both options are available at our dental clinic in Wishart.
During your consultation, your dentist can explain how the process works, what to expect, and whether it’s suitable for you.
