Access teeth whitening treatment without leaving home
In-chair and take home teeth whitening procedure has grown in popularity as the benefits of white teeth are appreciated by more people. Improved oral health, removal of discolouration and stains, and more confidence are just some of the benefits, however, any teeth whitening protocol should only be undertaken after consultation with a qualified dental professional who can advise whether teeth whitening may be an option for you.
There are many reasons for choosing to whiten your teeth, however, for most people, it is the aesthetic appeal of a brighter, whiter smile that in many cases leads to a more youthful appearance. Our oral health therapist will take the time to understand your overall dental health goals and what you hope to achieve through teeth whitening. With that understanding, you will then be presented with treatment options, which include either take home or in chair solutions. Many patients opt for the convenience and rapid results of in chair teeth whitening, however, take home teeth whitening results are evident in around a week.
Although teeth whitening is non-invasive and generally does not hurt, some patients do experience side effects, such as sensitivity, irritated gums, and even damage to tooth enamel. If you are contemplating either in chair or take home options, we will book a complimentary phone consultation (saving you travel costs) to discuss which would work best for you and what side effects you may experience based on your current oral health. Prior to commencing a whitening regime, our oral health therapist will discuss your options and may also recommend additional steps to take, such as a comprehensive dental clean to help achieve the best results.
If you elect to have in chair whitening, we look forward to you experiencing the convenience and flexibility of our mobile dental service. We bring the whitening to you, allowing you to complete your treatment in your own driveway onboard our beautifully appointed mobile dental van.

Frequently asked questions

Fees for gum teeth whitening delivered from our mobile dental van will vary depending on whether you opt for take home or an in chair service. Although fees for teeth whitening cannot be bulk billed, take home packs are the best option if you are looking for an affordable way to whiten your teeth.

After you’ve made the investment in teeth whitening, it’s important to maintain an oral health regime that supports keeping your teeth white. This means brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and avoiding things like tea, coffee, red wine, and smoking, which cause teeth to discolour. Because of the higher concentration of carbamide peroxide (hydrogen peroxide) used for in chair products, these tend to achieve longer lasting results than take home packs.
