What is Teeth Staining?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment to enhance your smile by removing stains and discolouration. This non invasive procedure can be done in a dental clinic or at home with special products. Teeth whitening is safe and effective way to get a brighter smile, boost your confidence and self esteem. Whether you do professional teeth whitening or home teeth whitening kits the goal is to get a white smile you can be proud of.
What Causes Teeth Staining?
Teeth staining is common but understanding the causes can help you manage it better. Over time teeth can lose their natural whiteness due to:
- Dietary Choices: Coffee, tea, red wine and certain foods stain teeth.
- Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco yellows and discolours teeth.
- Oral Hygiene: Not brushing and flossing regularly can allow plaque to build up and dull your smile.
- Medications and Fluorosis: Childhood exposure to fluoride through certain antibiotics can permanently change the appearance of tooth enamel.
At our Adelaide clinic we understand the science behind these changes and have the tools to get your smile back to its brilliance.
Teeth Whitening Treatment Options
Adelaide Smile and Implant Centre offers two professional teeth whitening services that are safe, effective and supervised by experienced dental professionals.
1. In-Chair Teeth Whitening
Our Phillips Zoom in-chair whitening uses advanced teeth whitening technology, hydrogen peroxide gel and a special light. This technology penetrates deep into the teeth to break up stubborn stains and discolouration. In one session you can get up to 8 shades whiter teeth.
2. Take-Home Whitening Kits
For those who prefer to whiten on their own schedule we offer Phillips Zoom take-home whitening kits. These kits include custom fitted trays and professional grade gel so you get maximum comfort and effectiveness. During your initial consultation our dental team will guide you through the process and provide all the necessary instructions for safe at-home whitening.
Teeth Whitening Technology
Teeth whitening technology has come a long way and offers various advanced options to get you a brighter smile. One of the most popular and effective technology is LED Light technology which uses high intensity light to activate the whitening gel and accelerate the whitening process. Another widely used method is Zoom Teeth Whitening which uses gentle hydrogen peroxide based whitening gel and a special metal halide light source to get fast and impressive results. These advanced technology ensures you get a safe, effective and customised whitening treatment.

Teeth Whitening Safety and Precautions
Teeth whitening is safe when done by a qualified dentist or hygienist using accredited products. However as with any dental treatment there are certain precautions to take. Patients with sensitive teeth or gums may feel some discomfort during or after the treatment but this can be managed with desensitising toothpaste or mild desensitisers. It’s important to follow your dentist’s instructions carefully and avoid consuming staining foods and drinks after the treatment to maintain your results. By following these guidelines you can get a brighter smile with minimal discomfort.
What to Expect During Your Whitening Treatment
Whether you choose in-chair or take-home whitening every journey starts with a consultation where we explain the teeth whitening process. Our dentists will assess your oral health, discuss your whitening goals and answer any questions you may have.
Process:
- Initial Consultation: We check your dental health to confirm you are a suitable candidate for the tooth whitening treatment.
- Preparation: For in-chair treatments we will protect your gums and soft tissues before applying the whitening gel.
- Application: The gel is applied and the Zoom light is used to activate the whitening process.
- Post-Treatment Care: We will provide aftercare advice to maintain your brighter smile.
Teeth Whitening Cost
The cost of teeth whitening treatments varies depending on the level of whitening required, your current teeth condition and the type of treatment chosen. In-chair teeth whitening treatments range from $200 to $500 and at-home whitening kits from $100 to $300. To find out the best treatment for your individual needs and budget you need to consult a dentist. Some dental clinics may also offer package deals or discounts for online bookings so it’s worth asking when you book your appointment. Investing in professional teeth whitening will give you long lasting results and a brighter smile.
