Why the Professional Option Makes a Difference

Over-the-counter whitening products and professional options differ in their formulation and application. A dental assessment allows us to determine whether whitening is suitable for you and to discuss the available options.

We use whitening systems at Sanctuary Lakes Family Dental provided through registered dental practitioners. Your gums are properly protected, the gel is applied precisely, and we assess your teeth first to make sure the procedure is appropriate for you.

Philips Zoom In-Chair System – $500

Zoom is a commonly used in-chair whitening system. The procedure uses a professional-strength hydrogen peroxide gel, activated by a blue LED lamp, designed to address staining on the surface and within the enamel. The full session takes around 45 minutes in the chair, and your dentist will assess your current shade beforehand so you can see the difference clearly. You may also receive advice and products to support your maintenance at home.

Pola Take-Home Whitening – $350

Pola is an Australian-made, dentist-prescribed system designed for at-home use at your own pace. We take an impression of your teeth and provide you with custom-fitted trays, a key difference from anything you’d buy over the counter. The high-viscosity, neutral pH gel sits is designed to sit closely against your teeth and keeps the formula on your enamel where it works. Pola is available in day and night formulas, so you may whiten whenever it suits your routine.

Is Whitening Right for You?

This process works on natural tooth enamel and may not be suitable for everyone. If you have crowns, veneers, or certain restorations, those won’t change colour along with your natural teeth. It’s also worth noting that untreated decay or gum concerns should be addressed first, which is why we recommend a checkup and clean before getting started. We’ll have a chat at your appointment and let you know whether whitening is a good fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is teeth whitening appropriate for everyone?

Before starting, we assess your oral health to discuss suitability and any potential considerations, such as sensitivity

How long will a brighter smile last?

This varies depending on diet and oral hygiene habits. Coffee, red wine, and tea can contribute to re-staining over time, but regular touch-ups and a good home care routine help maintain your shade.

Will whitening cause sensitivity?

Some people notice mild sensitivity during or shortly after whitening. Both Zoom and Pola are formulated to minimise this, and we’ll give you guidance on managing any short-term discomfort.

Can crowns or veneers be whitened?

Whitening agents only work on natural enamel, so existing restorations won’t change colour. We’ll talk through your options during your consultation.

What’s the difference between in-chair and take-home whitening?

Zoom delivers a more immediate change in a single appointment; Pola is more gradual and flexible. Both use professional-grade whitening agents; the right choice depends on your timeline and preferences.
