Teeth Whitening Sydney

When carried out by a dental professional in Sydney CBD, teeth whitening is generally considered safe for suitable patients. However, our whitening treatments are not recommended for pregnant women or people under 18.

Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are suitable candidates. However, whitening isn’t recommended for pregnant women, anyone under 18, or patients with untreated decay or gum disease. Our dentists in Sydney CBD will assess your suitability before starting treatment.

Having your teeth professionally cleaned before undergoing any of our teeth whitening treatments is usually recommended. Any hardened plaque is scraped away, and trapped food particles are removed to leave clean, smooth teeth. This makes it easier for our Sydney CBD dentists to achieve even whiteness across all the tooth surfaces.

In-chair whitening delivers visible results in a single visit to our clinic. Our dentist applies a professional strength gel to your teeth and activates it to lift stains, with the full appointment taking around 60 to 90 minutes. It’s the fastest way to brighten your smile before a special event.

Take-home whitening kits in Sydney NSW are popular because teeth can be whitened at a patient’s convenience in the comfort of their own home. Our cosmetic dentist takes an impression of your teeth to create custom whitening trays. Once they’re ready for collection, we’ll issue you with the whitening gel and instructions for use.

At Macquarie Dental we use Boutique whitening which comes in different formulas to fit a patient’s unique needs. The trays can be worn for 1.5 hours per day or overnight as you sleep. You should see noticeable results within a few days.

Our dentists will monitor your results and are there to support you every step of the way.

Typically, the results of teeth whitening can last a year or longer for our Sydney CBD patients, but this can vary depending on your diet and lifestyle habits. Eating or drinking stain-inducing foods or beverages may cause your teeth to darken more quickly. However, following a consistent oral hygiene routine and scheduling dental cleanings every six months can help maintain your white smile for longer.

No, whitening gel only works on natural tooth enamel and won’t change the shade of crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you have visible restorations, our Macquarie Dental cosmetic dentists will discuss your expected results and may suggest replacing older restorations to match your whitened smile.

Some patients experience mild, temporary sensitivity during or after whitening, which usually settles within a few days. Our dentists use professional systems designed to minimise discomfort and can recommend a desensitising toothpaste if needed.

The teeth whitening cost depends on whether you choose take-home kits or in-chair whitening, with take-home being the more affordable option. After your consultation at Macquarie Dental, we’ll provide a clear, itemised quote and discuss health fund cover and payment options.

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure at our Sydney CBD clinic and is carried out purely for aesthetic results. It’s important to understand that not everyone has teeth that are naturally white and it’s still possible for you to have darker or mildly stained teeth without it impacting your oral health.
