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.

Can I get my teeth whitened if I am pregnant or breast feeding?

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.

Will it damage my enamel?

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.

Can I whiten my teeth too much?

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!

How long will the results last?

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.

Will it work on all of my teeth?

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.

I have seen whitening advertised on social media that I can buy online, does this work?

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.

What about the whitening in the shopping centers and beauty therapists?

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.

Dental Implants vs. Dentures in Melbourne – What’s Right for You?

Missing teeth can affect so much more than your smile. From how you eat and speak to how confident you...

I want to thank Dr. Ron and the Mitcham Dental Clinic team for their continued - excellent service. As someone phobic about being in the dentist chair, I’m always amazed at the caring, gentle and understanding approach I’ve been given. Professional, modern and I highly recommend this caring dental clinic to anyone, especially if you struggle with the idea of going to the dentist. This is the place for you.

Hi Everyone, I wish to highly recommend the Mitcham Dental Clinic to anyone requiring a 1st class Dental Service with special kudos to Sarah Nguyen, a marvelous technician who conducted a front tooth implant in a professional painless manner and squeezed me into her busy schedule at such short notice because they actually care about their clients. Of all the Dental Clinics I have experienced Mitcham Dental Clinic is the Best. With special thanks to Sarah Nguyen and the team

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.

I see the outstanding Dr David Trinh and my kids see Dr Sarah Nguyen. Honestly the best dentists by far. From the moment we switched dental clinics my kids have loved coming to visit the dentist. I know my family is in the best hands and honestly my husband is happy with any dentist at mitcham dental clinic because everyone is so lovely. The receptionists are also so friendly and accommodating! from making your appointment to having your treatment, i can see why they get alot of reviews. I cannot recommend Mitcham dental clinic highly enough!!

I rarely make a online reviews however, after walking out the door of Mitcham Dental I immediately knew this place deserved a rave review. I've been planning to get a check up, clean, invisilign, replace fillings and have whitening done for some time. I've been putting it off as the overwhelming list of things I needed done had naturally put me off. After today, I can't believe I didn't come here sooner. I was so impressed by the friendly highly skilled staff, the attention to detail, the clarity about my dental plan and the price as well as the expertise from my Dentist. It can be daunting and expensive to have all the procedure and work one needs done on their teeth... but Mitcham Dental single handedly outshines the rest. Very impressed with this place More posts to come when all my dental work is done.

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!

Excellent, knowledgeable, caring, patient dental practice. Can’t rate them more highly.

Peter Miller

Mitcham Dental would have to be one of the BEST dental clinics in the east. They are always so accomodating, friendly and very experienced in all aspects of dentistry. I am quite a nervous patient when it comes to my teeth. They are also very patient and make the customer feel comfortable at all times. So many options are given to a patient and always explained prior to treatment. I must give Sarah a thumb up always for taking care of my teeth and making me feel comfortable, and not nervous whilst performing my dental treatment. The outcome is always positive and I always keep coming back. Congratulations to the whole team at Mitcham Dental. Keep up the grest work!
