Zoom! in-chair teeth whitening

Zoom! WhiteSpeed is the fastest way to a noticeably whiter smile. The Zoom! LED lamp activates the whitening gel directly on your teeth, and the whole appointment takes about 90 minutes — with results of up to 8 shades lighter visible the same day.

Here's what the appointment involves:

• A brief dental assessment to confirm you're a suitable candidate
• Protective gel applied to the gums before treatment starts
• Three 15-minute whitening cycles under the Zoom! LED lamp
• Immediate results you walk out with

It's a practical choice if you're preparing for a wedding, job interview, or any event where you want maximum impact quickly. Zoom! in-chair whitening: price not published — contact the practice directly.

Take-home whitening kits

The take-home kits use professional-strength Pola whitening gel with custom-fitted trays made precisely to your bite. Results build gradually over two weeks, and for many patients the outcome is just as effective as in-chair treatment.

Take-home kits work well if you:

• Prefer whitening at your own pace
• Want to maintain results after an in-chair session
• Have sensitive teeth and find a lower-concentration gel more comfortable over time

Complete whitening package

Combining in-chair and take-home treatment gives you the best of both: the Zoom! session delivers immediate impact, and the take-home kit keeps results going. Complete whitening package: price not published — contact the practice directly — and it works out better value than booking each treatment separately.

Is whitening right for you?

A dental assessment is required before any whitening treatment. It's there to confirm your teeth and gums are healthy enough, set realistic expectations based on your tooth type and the cause of discolouration, and identify any existing dental work. Crowns, veneers, and composite fillings won't change colour with whitening — your dentist will talk through how that affects the overall result and whether anything else might be worth considering.

Some patients notice mild sensitivity for 24–48 hours after in-chair treatment. It's normal and settles on its own. If you already have sensitive teeth, the take-home option with lower-concentration gel is usually more comfortable, and the concentration can be adjusted further if needed.

Whitening for special events

A lot of Southbank patients book whitening ahead of weddings, job interviews, formal events, or travel. With an 8:00 am weekday opening time, a Zoom! session can fit around a pre-work start or a lunch break.

If you have an event coming up:

• Book in-chair whitening at least 2 weeks beforehand so any sensitivity has time to settle
• Take a top-up kit for a last-minute refresh if you need it

Frequently asked questions

How much does teeth whitening cost at Core Dental Group Southbank? Pricing for in-chair Zoom! whitening, take-home kits, the combined package, and top-up gel refills isn't published online — contact the practice directly for current figures. All pricing is confirmed in writing before treatment begins.

How long does Zoom! in-chair whitening take? The full appointment is about 90 minutes, including setup and three 15-minute whitening cycles. Most patients leave with teeth up to 8 shades lighter.

Does whitening work on crowns, veneers, or fillings? No — professional whitening only works on natural tooth enamel. Existing crowns, veneers, and white composite fillings won't change colour. If you have these restorations, your dentist will discuss how whitening might affect the overall look of your smile and whether any replacements are worth considering.

How long do teeth whitening results last? Typically 6–12 months, depending on diet, lifestyle, and oral hygiene. Coffee, red wine, tea, and smoking all speed up restaining. Take-home top-up gel kits can extend your results considerably.

Will teeth whitening cause sensitivity? Some patients get mild, temporary sensitivity for 24–48 hours after in-chair Zoom! treatment — it's normal and settles without any treatment. If you already have sensitive teeth, take-home whitening with lower-concentration gel is usually the more comfortable route. Your dentist will advise at the assessment.

Can I get whitening done before work at Southbank? Yes — the practice opens at 8:00 am Monday–Friday. An early appointment can accommodate the full 90-minute Zoom! session before the working day starts, or it can be scheduled across a lunch break. Book ahead on (03) 8547 0780.
