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.Â
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 arenât many scientific studies done on pregnant and breastfeeding women and teeth whitening (ethically, no one wants to volunteer as it âcouldâ 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 wonât damage your enamel if done correctly. We use treatments that get into the microscopic âporesâ of the enamel to essentially âbleachâ 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 âtop-upsâ to keep your teeth looking their best. But if you avoid those stain-causing foods and drinks, youâll enjoy longer-lasting whitening results.
Before you start whitening, it's important to have a consultation with one of our dental professionals. Whitening isnât 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 wonât address.
Also, itâs good to remember that anything that isnât natural enamel, like crowns, veneers, or fillings, wonât change colour. If you have these on your front teeth, weâll 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 âinternal whiteningâ for the best results.
Lastly, if youâre 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 âstain removerâ, 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.

I fell down and chipped my front tooth so I was desperately looking for a dental clinic that's still open. although it was very last minute, the clinic remained opened to see me which was such a nice gesture. Dr Trinh was very compassionate and friendly and immediately filled the tooth which now looks amazing. can't even tell the difference now! i usually am scared to go see a dentist but i felt very comfortable this time! thank you again!
