Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a common procedure to improve the appearance of discoloured or stained teeth. The outside of your teeth can be stained due to smoking, coffee, tea and red wine, which 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. Teeth whitening treatments work efficiently for the majority of people. At Springfield Dental, whitening treatments are performed by qualified dental professionals using clinically approved whitening systems designed for safe and effective results.

Our In-Chair Teeth Whitening Process
Professional in chair teeth whitening is performed at Springfield Dental under dentist supervision.
- Clinical ExaminationÂ
Our dentist first examines your teeth and gums to confirm that whitening is suitable. Any existing dental issues may need treatment before whitening begins. We then use a professional shade guide to record your starting colour, allowing us to track your progress accurately. - Shade Assessment
We use a professional shade guide to record your starting colour, allowing us to track your progress accurately. - Gum Protection
A protective barrier is applied over the gums to shield them from the whitening gel during the procedure. - Whitening Gel Application
A professional whitening gel is carefully applied to the surface of the teeth. The gel works by breaking down stains within the enamel. The whitening gel remains on the teeth for a controlled period. In some cases, a specialised dental light may be used to assist the whitening process. - Controlled Whitening Cycles
The gel is usually applied in three or four 15-minute cycles. Between each cycle, we check your progress and can adjust the treatment if you experience any sensitivity. - Final Rinse and Shade Check
After the treatment cycle, the gel is removed and the teeth are cleaned. The new tooth shade is then compared with the initial shade.
Most patients notice a visible improvement in tooth colour after a single in chair whitening appointment. Our dentist will also provide advice on maintaining your whitening results.
ADA compliant — we follow Australian Dental Association guidelines, using only >6% hydrogen peroxide products under professional supervision.
Take Home Teeth Whitening Process
Prefer to whiten your teeth at home? Springfield Dental offers professional take home whitening kits that allow you to brighten your smile gradually and comfortably under dentist supervision.
Custom Whitening Trays
Our dentist takes impressions of your teeth to create custom-made whitening trays. These trays fit closely over your teeth, helping the whitening gel stay in place while reducing contact with the gums.
Flexible Daily Whitening
Your take home whitening kit includes professional whitening gel designed for safe home use. The custom trays are normally worn for about 45 minutes each day or overnight, depending on the treatment plan recommended by our dentist.
Gradual Whitening Results
Most of our Brisbane patients notice a visible transformation within 7 to 14 days. This gradual process allows you to stop once you’ve reached your desired shade.
Our dentist will provide clear instructions and monitor your progress to help you achieve consistent and natural-looking results.
How to Keep Your Teeth White After Whitening
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.

FAQs
What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that lightens stains and discolouration on natural teeth. It uses whitening gel to break down stain particles in the tooth surface.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Teeth whitening has risks if used incorrectly or without a dental check. At Springfield Dental, we check your teeth and gums first, then recommends a suitable option based on your oral health.
How much does teeth whitening cost in Brisbane?
At Springfield Dental, professional teeth whitening starts from $400. The final cost depends on whether you choose in-chair whitening or a take-home whitening kit.
How long does teeth whitening take?
In-chair whitening is usually completed in one appointment. Take-home whitening usually takes longer because the gel is used gradually at home as directed by your dentist.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
The longevity of whitening results varies from person to person and is influenced by diet, oral hygiene habits, lifestyle factors such as tobacco use, and the type of treatment received. In general, results may last anywhere from several months to a couple of years. Regular dental check-ups and cleans, along with reducing consumption of staining foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, and red wine, can help maintain your results. Your dentist can advise on suitable maintenance options, including touch-up treatments when appropriate.
Is teeth whitening permanent?
No. Teeth whitening is not permanent. Stains build up again over time. Regular dental cleans, good brushing habits, and limiting staining foods and drinks help maintain your result.
Does teeth whitening hurt?
Some patients feel temporary sensitivity during or after whitening. This usually settles. Tell dentist if you already have sensitive teeth before treatment.
What causes yellow teeth?
Yellow teeth may be caused by ageing, enamel wear, coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, plaque build-up, some medications, trauma, or natural tooth colour.
Does teeth whitening remove all stains?
No. Whitening works better on some stains than others. Surface stains from food, drinks, and smoking often respond better than deep internal stains or discolouration from trauma.
Will teeth whitening work on crowns or veneers?
No. Whitening does not change the colour of crowns, veneers, fillings, bridges, dentures, or implants. It only works on natural teeth.
Should I get my teeth cleaned before whitening?
A dental clean is often helpful before whitening because plaque and tartar can affect the result. Your dentist will advise if a clean is needed first.
What is better, in-chair whitening or take-home whitening?
In-chair whitening is faster. Take-home whitening is more gradual. The better option depends on your teeth, sensitivity, staining level, budget, and preferred timeline.
Are take-home whitening kits better than supermarket whitening kits?
Dentist-provided take-home kits use custom trays and instructions based on your teeth. Supermarket kits are not made for your mouth and may increase the risk of uneven whitening or gum irritation if used incorrectly.
Can I whiten my teeth if I have sensitive teeth?
You might still be suitable, but your dentist needs to assess the cause of sensitivity first. Whitening may increase sensitivity, so your dentist may recommend a gentler approach or delay treatment.
How often should I whiten my teeth?
This depends on your teeth, staining habits, and whitening method. Avoid frequent whitening without dental advice, as overuse may increase sensitivity or irritation.
What should I avoid after teeth whitening?
Your dentist may advise you to avoid coffee, tea, red wine, dark sauces, and smoking for the first 24 to 48 hours. These may stain teeth soon after whitening.
Does whitening damage enamel?
When used correctly under dental supervision, whitening is planned to reduce risk. Overuse or incorrect use of whitening products may cause sensitivity, gum irritation, or enamel concerns.
Does Medicare cover teeth whitening?
Medicare usually does not cover cosmetic teeth whitening. Private health cover varies. Call (07) 3818 9100 us to get more information’s in this.
