Teeth Whitening Essendon
Have you always wanted a sparkling white smile? The dentists at SIA Dental Essendon can provide a cosmetic consultation to assess your smile and provide options for a brighter, whiter smile!
At SIA Dental, we are committed to providing our patients with cutting-edge dental treatments that deliver outstanding results. That’s why we proudly use Philips Zoom! a leading teeth whitening technology renowned for its efficacy and speed.
The first step to see if teeth whitening is suitable for you is to book a cosmetic consult with our dentists at SIA Dental. We assess the cause of any teeth discolorations and determine what treatment options are available.
Philips Zoom! Advanced In-Clinic Teeth Brightening
Elevate your smile swiftly with our premium Philips Zoom! WhiteSpeed treatment, perfect for those looking to achieve rapid, dramatic improvements. This sophisticated system uses a special blue LED light to activate a high-performance whitening gel, effectively brightening your teeth by up to eight shades. It targets stains from common culprits like coffee, tea, and red wine, as well as yellowing from natural ageing, rejuvenating your overall appearance.
Your wellbeing is our top priority during this procedure. We employ a protective rubber shield and liquid latex to guard your gums meticulously before applying the whitening gel. The session is divided into four 15-minute intervals, cumulating in a total of 60 minutes, during which the blue LED light significantly enhances the gel’s brightening capabilities. Adjustable settings on the light cater to those with sensitive teeth, ensuring a pleasant and pain-free experience.
Opt for our clinic-based whitening to witness immediate enhancements, and take advantage of a free follow-up treatment within 14 days to perfect your smile. To maintain the brightness long-term, consider our home whitening kit, allowing you the convenience of boosting your teeth’s whiteness at your own pace.
Philips Zoom! Tailored Home Whitening Kit
This kit is meticulously designed with custom-fit trays and a gentle yet effective whitening gel that’s easy to use. Simply apply the gel into the trays and wear them for one hour each day over a period of one to two weeks to see significant whitening.
The flexibility of our kit means you can whiten your teeth overnight using our Philips Zoom NiteWhite solution or during daytime hours with the Zoom DayWhite option.

Why do teeth discolour?
Tooth discolouration can be caused by:
- Tooth surface stains due to coffee, tea, red wine and smoking
- Poor oral hygiene from inadequate brushing, flossing and mouthrinsing
- Old fillings and crowns
- Discolouration from a root-filled tooth
- Medications
- Dental problems such as dental decay/cavities, tartar buildup
- Age
Generally, surface staining and discolouration due to age can be effectively treated with teeth whitening products used at SIA Dental. Other causes of discolouration such as dental decay or tartar buildup will require different treatment such as fillings, crowns and teeth cleaning.
Are there any risks associated with teeth whitening?
As will all dental treatment, there are some risks associated with teeth whitening. It is important to discuss your specific condition with your dentist to ensure you have a good understanding of the benefits and risks of treatment. Some risks include:
- Increased teeth sensitivity to hot and cold food/liquids/air
- Gum/lip/cheek irritation and ulcerations from bleaching products
- Temporary discolouration of gums
- Sore throat
- Nausea
What is involved with teeth whitening?
Before your teeth whitening journey begins, our dedicated team at SIA Dental Essendon will conduct a thorough assessment of your smile, complete with photographs. This allows us to show you the potential transformation your teeth can undergo.
At SIA Dental Essendon, we offer two tailor-made teeth whitening options to suit your needs:
In-Chair Professional Teeth Whitening Achieve a noticeably brighter smile in just about an hour. Our skilled dentists will ensure your comfort by applying a protective barrier over your lips, cheeks, and gums before introducing a professional-grade bleaching agent to your teeth. The whitening process is enhanced with a high-intensity light, designed to speed up the process and deliver stunning results quickly.
At-Home Professional Teeth Whitening For those who prefer the convenience of their own space, our custom take-home kits are the perfect solution. These kits are crafted to fit your teeth perfectly and use a high-quality whitening gel that ensures professional results. Typically, you can expect to see a brighter smile develop within one to two weeks, allowing you to achieve professional-grade whitening at your own pace.
How is teeth whitening at SIA Dental different from the service provided by third-party vendors in shopping malls or supermarket teeth whitening products?
According to the TGA, teeth whitening products containing more than 18% carbamide peroxide or more than 6% hydrogen peroxide may only be sold, supplied and used by registered dental practitioner.
Third-party vendors providing teeth whitening services are common, however, they may not have the appropriate training or education to provide these services safely. The environment the procedure is performed in is also not regulated, and there may not be adequate privacy or infection control procedures. Non-dental practitioners are not legally allowed to prescribe concentrations of bleaching agents required for teeth whitening and as such the procedure is ineffective.
Over-the-counter treatments such as whitening toothpastes and strips are also available, but are less effective. There are also increased risks and side effects if used incorrectly.
The team at SIA Dental look forward to working with you to achieve your ideal smile and dental health.
