Teeth Whitening Melbourne
Why choose professional teeth whitening?
Looking for a brighter, whiter smile? At Mitcham Dental Clinic, we offer professional teeth whitening to help you achieve a radiant, confident smile.
Over time, teeth can become discoloured due to:
- Coffee, tea, and red wine consumption
- Smoking and tobacco use
- Age-related staining
- Poor oral hygiene
- Certain medications
While over-the-counter whitening products promise great results, they often fall short. Professional teeth whitening provides a safer, faster, and more effective way to remove stains and make your teeth whiter.
How we can help
At Mitcham Dental Clinic, we offer:
1. In-Chair Teeth Whitening
Perfect for those looking for instant results, our in-chair treatment uses high-quality whitening agents to lift deep stains and brighten your teeth in just one session.
2. Take-Home Whitening Kits
Prefer to whiten your teeth at home? Our custom take-home kits provide a gradual, professional-grade whitening experience, giving you flexibility while achieving noticeable results.

Causes of tooth discolouration
There are a number of reasons why teeth discolour. Over time, our teeth can discolour from some of our favourite foods such as coffee, tea, soda water, wine, spices and smoking. Dark foods such as blueberries, beetroot and cherries can also cause our teeth to discolour.
Other reasons include age, medications and your teeth naturally being yellow.

Teeth Whitening FAQs
As there aren’t many scientific studies done on pregnant and breastfeeding women and teeth whitening (ethically, no one wants to volunteer as it ‘could’ impact the development of the baby), we always recommend to be on the safe side and wait.
No, teeth whitening at a professional dental clinic is safe and won’t damage your enamel if done correctly. We use treatments that get into the microscopic ‘pores’ of the enamel to essentially ‘bleach’ any stains away. It does not strip a layer of the enamel, nor does it affect the structural integrity of the tooth.
Great question! If you use take-home whitening systems too often, your teeth may become sensitive, your gums might get irritated, and the edges of your teeth could appear more transparent. But don't worry! Our dentists at Mitcham Dental Clinic will guide you through the process, ensuring you get the best results with minimal side effects. We'll make sure your smile stays bright and healthy!
The longevity of your results can vary depending on several factors, like your starting tooth shade, the porosity of your enamel, and your daily habits. If you love your daily coffee or a glass of red wine, you might need occasional “top-ups” to keep your teeth looking their best. But if you avoid those stain-causing foods and drinks, you’ll enjoy longer-lasting whitening results.
Before you start whitening, it's important to have a consultation with one of our dental professionals. Whitening isn’t suitable for everyone, and we want to make sure your mouth is healthy before you begin any treatments. This includes fixing broken or decayed teeth, maintaining healthy gums, and having a professional clean to remove any stains that whitening won’t address.
Also, it’s good to remember that anything that isn’t natural enamel, like crowns, veneers, or fillings, won’t change colour. If you have these on your front teeth, we’ll discuss options to ensure your smile remains even after whitening. Some deep stains, like those from medications or past treatments, may need additional treatments like “internal whitening” for the best results.
Lastly, if you’re planning any cosmetic work on your front teeth, we recommend whitening first so that any new treatments match your beautiful, bright smile.
You can pretty much buy anything on the internet these days, whitening being one of them. Sometimes these products can be abrasive and are more of a ‘stain remover’, which can be damaging to your teeth, causing abrasion of the enamel and sensitivity. Others also may just have ingredients in them that cause dehydration of the enamel, causing the teeth to appear whiter for a short amount of time.
Whitening is considered safe but is not without side effects. If whitening is not applied correctly, it can lead to damage of teeth and/or gums. We always recommend that dental treatment is only performed by a dentist, dental hygienist or therapist, with the correct qualifications and registrations.

Brilliant , had a broken tooth, extremely sore at 0700am on a Friday, not a shock that there was no answer. I took that what I thought was a long shot by contacting them on Facebook messenger. To my shock I got a message back within minutes and then got a call from Bianca booking me in at 0930am the same day. Brilliant.

For many years, I have been traveling for nearly an hour from Ringwood to Bundoora Dental clinic to see my dentist, as I know he is excellent. He retired last year and I was looking for a local dentist. I was grateful to find Dr. Ron Fulop of Mitcham Dental, i did 2 filling and 1 crowning with him. Ron is a true professional who alway put patients’ health and well-being at high priority, he was good at establishing trust with patients with a good sense of humour. He has a gentle approach in his service. I would highly recommend his great service.
