This treatment lightens your enamel by several shades in one visit. This treatment lightens your enamel by several shades in one visit.
Springfield Dental offers both in-chair teeth whitening and at-home whitening kits to help you achieve the best smile. We use advanced laser technology and the safest techniques for your teeth whitening process.
Call (07) 3818 9100 for consultation. Our team will first perform a dental examination to determine whether you’re an appropriate candidate for whitening and whether any underlying issue causing your discoloration needs attention first. You might have a dental problem that requires treatment before whitening. Some teeth whitening kits are unsuitable if you have any crowns or veneers, as the peroxide in the product can’t penetrate the surface. We will advise you about the best method to brighten your teeth.
Causes of Teeth Discolouration
The outside of your teeth can be stained due to what is put in the mouth. Smoking, coffee, tea and red wine can all colour the teeth. Some people are born with yellowish teeth, while for others, their teeth yellow as they age. Your inside teeth can also be discoloured if they are damaged or injured, or a tooth that has had root canal treatment can also become discoloured. Various medications may also make the teeth look yellow and stained. Teeth whitening treatments work effectively for the majority of people. At Springfield Dental, we offer teeth whitening treatment in Brisbane to give your natural teeth a makeover.
Types of Teeth Whitening We Offer
We offer In-clinic professional teeth whitening, take-home teeth whitening kits, and whitening products based on individual needs, lifestyles, and budgets.
In-Chair Teeth Whitening
We provide in-chair teeth whitening using advanced whitening gels and laser technology. Your treatments can be done while you are sitting in the dental chair.
Our dental professional applies a strong hydrogen peroxide gel. The whitening gel is activated by a light, which gently whitens your teeth. A post-treatment desensitising paste or sensitive toothpaste is provided to help manage the sensitivity.
If the problem causing the yellowing is deep inside your teeth, then a whitening gel applied to the outside of your teeth not make your teeth whiter.
Sometimes we have to do an internal bleaching as well. This is done when teeth are stained on the inside after a root canal treatment. The whitening treatment is placed in the centre of the tooth, where the dental nerve used to be. It’s left for several days before being cleaned out and fixed with a filling.

Benefits of In-Chair Whitening
- Achieves a brighter smile in one clinic visit.
- Whiten your teeth up to eight shades in just 60 to 90 minutes.
- It’s a safe procedure, as the dentist monitors the process, protecting soft tissues from bleach.
- Uses stronger whitening gels than at-home kits.
- Includes professional care to manage tooth sensitivity.
Take-Home Whitening Kits
If you choose to whiten your teeth at home, we take an impression of your teeth and make custom-fitting whitening trays that fit over your teeth. We also give you some gel in the correct strength to suit your needs.
At home teeth whitening, you place the teeth whitening gel in the trays. We will explain to you how much whitening gel to use each time, and you have to wear the trays for 1-2 hours daily. This at home teeth whitening takes longer to achieve results than in-chair treatment. Whitening toothpastes, strips, and gels are available at pharmacies and supermarkets. While these are more affordable, they are less effective than professional treatments and may take longer to show results.

Common Myths About Teeth Whitening
There are many misconceptions about teeth whitening that may stop people from considering treatment. Here are some of the most common myths explained:
Teeth whitening damages enamel
Fact: Many people worry that whitening wears away or weakens tooth enamel. In reality, professional whitening treatments use safe and approved ingredients that only target stains on the surface of your teeth, leaving the enamel structure intact.
Whitening results are permanent
Fact: While whitening provides long-lasting results, it isn’t permanent. Everyday habits such as drinking coffee, tea, or red wine, smoking, and natural ageing can gradually re-stain teeth. With good oral hygiene and occasional touch-up treatments, you can maintain a brighter smile for years.
Whitening works the same for everyone
Fact: Not all types of discolouration respond equally. For example, yellow stains usually respond better than grey or brown discolouration, and teeth darkened by injury or certain medications may need alternative treatments. That’s why a dentist assessment is key to choosing the right whitening option for your needs.
Over-the-counter products are just as effective as professional treatments
Fact: While supermarket kits, toothpaste, and strips may offer slight improvements, they don’t contain the same strength or precision as professional-grade whitening. In-chair or take-home treatments prescribed by a dentist are more effective, safe, and tailored to your smile.
Whitening always causes painful sensitivity
Fact: It’s true that some people may feel temporary sensitivity after whitening, but this is usually mild and short-lived. Dentists can provide desensitising gels, fluoride treatments, or adjustments in concentration to make the process more comfortable.
Tips to Keep Your Teeth White
After whitening, a few simple habits can help you maintain your bright smile for longer. By making small adjustments to your daily routine, you can reduce staining and keep your teeth looking fresh.
- Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss once a day. This removes plaque and surface stains before they build up.
- Coffee, tea, red wine, and dark sauces can gradually discolour your teeth. If you do enjoy them, try rinsing with water afterwards to minimise staining.
- Tobacco is one of the biggest causes of tooth discolouration. Giving it up not only helps your smile stay white but also benefits your overall health.
- Professional cleans help remove plaque, tartar, and minor stains that brushing alone can’t. This keeps your teeth healthier and looking their best.
