Core Dental Group teeth whitening – professional smile brightening solutions

A whiter smile does a lot for your confidence. Core Dental Group offers professional teeth whitening that's safe, effective, and noticeably longer-lasting than anything you'd pick up at a pharmacy.

Why go professional?

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 patchy whitening, gum irritation, and underwhelming outcomes.

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

Zoom in-chair whitening – from $475 AUD

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

1. Your dentist does a pre-whitening assessment to confirm your teeth and gums are healthy
2. A protective barrier is applied to your gums
3. 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 AUD at Core Dental Group's Epping clinic.

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 solid results within two weeks.

Take-home kits also work well for keeping your in-chair results looking fresh over time.

Invisalign whitening bonus

Patients who complete their Invisalign treatment with Core Dental Group 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 makes sense 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 the outcome.

The Epping clinic also has CEREC same-day crown technology, which means any new restorations can be shade-matched to your freshly whitened teeth in the same visit.

What to expect after whitening

Some patients experience mild tooth sensitivity for 24 to 48 hours after whitening. This is normal and temporary. Avoid strongly pigmented foods and drinks (coffee, red wine, berries) for the first 48 hours to get the most out of your results.

Core Dental Group's Epping clinic is one of the group's technology-forward locations, with CEREC same-day crowns, laser dentistry, and advanced digital imaging. Weekday hours extend to 6:00 pm Monday to Friday, which suits working parents in Melbourne's northern suburbs who need to fit appointments around school pick-up or the commute from Epping Station. Parking is available near Pacific Epping Shopping Centre.
