What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure aimed at improving the appearance of teeth by applying a gel, which is then activated by lights or lasers (with precautions taken to protect the gums) that breaks down stains on the enamel and dentin, lightening the colour of your natural teeth.
Your smile can become discoloured by drinking certain beverages, eating staining foods, aging, smoking and even medications can lead to teeth that look yellowish or gray. You can easily reclaim a bright smile with teeth whitening available at Dentist WA Canning Vale. We offer two methods to professionally whiten your teeth:
- In-chair power whitening
- Take-home whitening that is professionally guided.

What method of teeth whitening fits best in your budget?
How does your schedule align with the different choices for teeth whitening?
What level of whitening do you want?
Do you have any underlying health problems?
What process for teeth whitening makes the most sense for your schedule and household situation?
Teeth whitening options
In-chair Power Whitening
In-chair teeth whitening requires one or more visits to a dental practice. You’ll be in the dental chair for about an hour while your dentist applies a professional-grade whitening solution to your teeth.
Depending on the type of solution used, your dentist may also use a bright light to maximise results. Following the application of the solution, your dentist will provide directions for avoiding staining your teeth for the following day or two, then offer general advice to help keep your teeth white in the long term.
Take-home Whitening
An alternative option to in-chair whitening is a take-home whitening kit that includes custom dental trays and whitening gel. Your dentist will provide instructions for applying your whitening gel to achieve the desired results.
In most cases, it takes longer to achieve results with at-home whitening kits because they are less potent. However, patients often like the convenience of whitening their teeth at home.
Teeth Whitened in a Single Visit for $880
With in-chair whitening, you’ll have a single visit that takes about an hour and leave with teeth that have been whitened up to eight shades lighter. The Zoom! whitening system is a professional-grade, extremely safe and highly effective way to easily whiten your teeth several shades whiter. Trials have shown that it’s up to 40% more effective than other teeth whitening treatments! The whitening treatment results can last up to two years – but the treatment itself only takes about 90 minutes so you could even do it in a longer lunch break with our handy Canning Vale location!
