Helping people by making their smiles brighter.

At our Brisbane dental clinic, we offer both in-chair and take-home professional teeth whitening treatments. In-chair whitening provides immediate results in a single session, while custom take-home kits enable gradual whitening over time. We’ll recommend the best option based on your goals and enamel condition.

Teeth whitening results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on your diet, oral hygiene, and lifestyle habits. Regular dental checkups help maintain your results and keep your smile looking fresh.

Yes, our dentist in Brisbane uses professional-grade whitening systems designed to minimise sensitivity. We assess your enamel and tailor the treatment to suit your needs. For patients with ongoing sensitivity, we may recommend slower, more gentle whitening using customised trays.

At Newstead Smiles, in-chair whitening typically starts from $450, while take-home kits start from $350. We believe in transparency, so you’ll receive a full quote during your consultation. Whitening is an affordable cosmetic upgrade that can make a significant impact without requiring extensive work, such as dental veneers.

We generally recommend waiting until the age of 18 before starting whitening treatments. However, every case is different. Our children’s dental care team can assess your teen’s oral health and advise on safe options if discolouration is a concern.

Teeth whitening only affects natural enamel; it doesn’t change the colour of dental restorations, such as dental crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you have existing restorations, we’ll discuss cosmetic alternatives or sequencing whitening before restorative work for the best aesthetic outcome.

Over-the-counter products can be unpredictable and often contain lower concentrations of whitening agents. Whitening with a qualified dentist in Brisbane ensures safe, consistent results with reduced sensitivity and expert guidance tailored to your individual oral health needs.

For the first 24–48 hours after treatment, avoid coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and dark sauces — anything that could stain a white shirt can stain your teeth. Smoking should also be avoided. Our team will give you post-treatment care tips to help protect your results and prevent re-staining.

Yes, it’s essential to have a dental examination before whitening to check for cavities, gum disease, or existing restorations. If issues are found, we may recommend treatment options such as dental bridges, dental implants, or dentures, depending on your specific case. If you’re in pain or unsure whether whitening is safe for you at this time, don’t hesitate to book an emergency dental appointment.
