In-Chair Whitening

In-chair whitening may be a suitable option for patients seeking visible results from a single appointment. At Cotton Tree Dental, the Philips Zoom system applies a clinically formulated gel activated by a specialised light source.

This option is ideal for:

Patients seeking results in a single appointment
Immediate, visible results in a single visit
Patients who prefer clinician-supervised treatment
Those who find at-home routines difficult to maintain
Patients wanting to discuss sensitivity concerns beforehand

What to expect:

After a brief assessment of your teeth and gums, the whitening gel is applied to the tooth surfaces and activated using the Zoom light. Soft tissue is protected throughout the procedure. The appointment typically takes approximately one hour in the chair.

Take-Home Kits

Take-home whitening uses custom-fitted trays fabricated from impressions of your teeth to hold the whitening gel evenly against each tooth surface. Trays are worn at home at a schedule that suits your lifestyle and pace.

This option is ideal for:

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Note: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

How much whiter will my teeth get?

The degree of whitening varies between patients depending on the starting shade, the type and extent of staining, and individual tooth structure. Professional whitening generally produces a more noticeable change than over-the-counter products, though results differ. Your dentist will assess your teeth at the initial consultation and provide a realistic indication of what may be achievable in your case.

How long do whitening results last?

Whitening results are not permanent. How long they last depends on diet, lifestyle habits such as drinking coffee, tea, or red wine, and ongoing oral hygiene practices. Touch-up treatment using your take-home trays can help maintain results over time. Your dentist will provide guidance on extending the longevity of your whitening outcome at your consultation appointment.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Professional teeth whitening supervised by a dentist uses clinically assessed concentrations of whitening gel. Your dentist will examine your teeth and gums before proceeding to confirm that whitening is appropriate for your current oral health. Conditions such as tooth decay, active gum disease, or certain types of restorations may affect suitability, which is why a clinical review is carried out first.

Will whitening cause sensitivity?

Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity during or after professional teeth whitening treatment. This is typically mild and settles within a day or two following the procedure. Patients with a history of sensitive teeth are encouraged to discuss this with their dentist before whitening begins. Take-home options may be a more suitable starting point for those prone to sensitivity.

Can all teeth be whitened?

Professional whitening works on natural tooth enamel but does not change the colour of crowns, veneers, bridges, or composite resin restorations. If you have visible restorations in the smile area, your dentist will discuss this at your consultation. Teeth affected by certain types of internal or structural staining may also respond differently to external whitening treatment.

How do I maintain my whitening results?

Maintaining whitening results over time involves limiting foods and drinks that contribute to staining, such as coffee, tea, and red wine, alongside a consistent oral hygiene routine. Touch-up whitening using your custom take-home trays can help sustain the shade achieved. Your dentist will provide tailored maintenance advice based on your individual diet, habits, and lifestyle at your follow-up appointment.
