Teeth Whitening in Midland
A brighter, fresher-looking smile
Some of our favourite everyday indulgences — such as tea, coffee, red wine, chocolate, and richly coloured foods — can gradually stain our teeth and dull their natural brightness. At Helena Street Dental in Midland, we offer safe and effective professional whitening treatments to help refresh the appearance of your smile.
What causes teeth staining?
Tooth discolouration can develop from a range of factors, including:
- Regular consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, or dark sauces
- Smoking or tobacco use
- Natural ageing of the enamel
- Certain medications or medical conditions
Professional whitening treatments can remove many of these surface stains, helping your teeth appear lighter and cleaner.
What whitening options are available?
At Helena Street Dental, we offer two trusted whitening options:
- Zoom! In-chair whitening – performed in the dental chair for fast, noticeable results
- Boutique at-home whitening – a gradual whitening system you can complete at your convenience
Before recommending a whitening method, we’ll examine your teeth and gums to make sure they’re healthy and suitable for treatment.
Zoom! in-chair whitening
Zoom! in-chair whitening is a safe and popular choice for patients who want quick, professional results.
Once you’re comfortable in the chair, a specially formulated gel is applied to your teeth. A gentle UV light is then used to activate the gel and lift years of stains from your enamel.
Depending on your desired result, the gel may be reapplied several times in 15–20 minute intervals. The entire process usually takes around 45 minutes to one hour.
After treatment, you should avoid tea, coffee, red wine, and highly coloured foods for at least 48 hours, and refrain from smoking for four days to protect your results.
Boutique at-home whitening
For patients who prefer to whiten gradually at home, we offer Opalescence take-home whitening kits.
This system uses custom-made trays that fit securely over your teeth. A professional-grade whitening gel is applied inside the trays and worn as directed — usually over a period of 10–12 days.
Following the instructions carefully is essential to prevent gum irritation or tooth sensitivity. At-home whitening can also be used to maintain the brightness of your smile after an in-chair treatment.
How long do whitening results last?
Whitening results vary depending on your diet and lifestyle. With proper care and regular dental cleans, results can last for several months or even longer.
Avoiding strong-coloured foods and drinks, rinsing with water after meals, and brushing twice daily will help keep your smile looking brighter for longer.
Whitening is effective only on natural tooth enamel. After treatment, some patients choose to replace older fillings or crowns to match the lighter shade of their natural teeth.
Important information before whitening
Before any whitening treatment, your oral health needs to be assessed to ensure you’re a suitable candidate.
You’ll need to have had a check-up, intra oral X Rays and a professional clean within the last 12 months before starting any whitening procedure. This ensures your teeth and gums are healthy and that your whitening results are even and effective.
