Teeth Whitening at Core Dental Carrum Downs product guide

Core Dental Group Teeth Whitening – Brighter Results You Can Trust

A whiter smile does a lot for your confidence. At Core Dental Group's Carrum Downs practice, professional teeth whitening treatments deliver safe, effective, and long-lasting results that over-the-counter products simply can't match.

Why choose professional teeth whitening?

Over-the-counter whitening products use lower concentrations of whitening agent and generic trays that don't fit your teeth properly. The result is often uneven whitening, gum irritation, and underwhelming outcomes.

Professional whitening at Core Dental Group uses clinically proven products, custom-fitted trays or LED-assisted systems, and direct dentist oversight to keep your teeth and gums protected throughout.

Zoom in-chair whitening – from $475

The Zoom! WhiteSpeed in-chair treatment delivers noticeable results in a single appointment of around 90 minutes. Here's how it works:

1. Your dentist performs a pre-whitening assessment to confirm your teeth and gums are healthy
2. A protective barrier is applied to your gums
3. The Zoom! whitening gel is applied to your teeth
4. A Philips Zoom! LED lamp activates the gel, breaking down staining molecules
5. The process runs in 15-minute cycles over approximately 60–75 minutes
6. You leave with teeth up to eight shades whiter

In-chair whitening starts from $475 at Core Dental Group's Carrum Downs practice.

Take-home whitening kits

Prefer to whiten at home? Core Dental Group provides custom-fitted whitening trays with professional-grade Pola Day or Pola Night gel. Wear the trays for the prescribed time each day, and most patients see clear results within two weeks.

Take-home kits also work well for maintaining your in-chair whitening results over time.

Invisalign whitening bonus

Patients who complete their Invisalign treatment with Core Dental Group at Carrum Downs and pay in full receive a complimentary take-home whitening kit, because a straight smile deserves to look its best.

Is teeth whitening right for you?

Professional whitening works on natural tooth enamel. It won't change the colour of existing crowns, veneers, or tooth-coloured fillings. If you have restorations in visible areas, your dentist will talk through whether whitening is appropriate and whether any restorations would need updating afterwards.

A dental assessment is required before any whitening treatment to check for decay, gum disease, or other conditions that could affect your results.

The Core Dental Group team, led by Dr Anna Lai, can combine whitening with other cosmetic treatments if you're after a more complete smile refresh. The Carrum Downs practice is fully accessible with on-site parking, so attending your appointment is straightforward.

What to expect after whitening

Some patients experience mild tooth sensitivity for 24 to 48 hours after whitening — this is normal and passes on its own. Avoid strongly pigmented foods and drinks (coffee, red wine, berries) for the first 48 hours to get the most from your results.

The practice is fully disability-accessible, entirely on the ground floor with wide corridors and step-free access throughout. Eight dedicated parking spaces sit directly outside, and the location near Carrum Downs Shopping Centre makes it easy to combine your appointment with other errands.
