Tired of Whitening Toothpastes That Don’t Deliver Results?
A brighter, whiter smile can instantly boost your confidence and make a lasting impression. At Adelaide Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer professional teeth whitening solutions that deliver safe, even and long-lasting results — all tailored to your smile goals and lifestyle.
What Is Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is a safe, clinically supervised treatment that lightens discolouration and removes stains from the enamel surface.
Unlike over-the-counter kits, our whitening systems use controlled concentrations of whitening gel applied by qualified dental professionals for predictable, uniform results.
We provide both in-chair whitening for instant brightness and take-home kits for gradual whitening at your convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions
No tooth whitening treatment is permanent. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee how long the whitening will last as it depends on diet and lifestyle. If you are a smoker, coffee drinker or a red wine drinker, the results will not last as long as if you weren’t. The basic rule to apply when doing any tooth whitening is: Anything that will stain a white shirt will stain your teeth.
The overall procedure takes approximately 1-hour to complete. It is a one-off treatment that doesn’t require any at home maintenance and can be done in a lunch break.
We estimate the result to be at least two shades whiter than what you have. As everyone is different, so are their teeth. We can never predict exactly how your teeth are going to respond. Some people go beyond the two shades whiter than predicted.
The majority of health funds do not pay back with any teeth whitening. This is because it is considered an optional procedure. At a consultation appointment, we can provide you with the item numbers that you require checking with your private health insurance.
Teeth do not go paper white. The result is determined by your starting shade and by each person’s teeth and how they respond to the whitening.
In the first 48 hours after treatment you should avoid eating or drinking anything that can permanently stain a white shirt; this includes coloured fizzy drinks, black tea or coffee, and red wine.
Sensitivity can occur in a small number of cases, especially if the teeth have been sensitive prior to treatment. It is due to the action of peroxide and in almost all cases it goes away within 24 hours.
No, bleaching only works on natural tooth substance. Any fillings or crowns may appear too dark after the rest of the tooth has been bleached and may require replacement.
Smartbleach laser tooth whitening has been researched extensively and like most bleaching methods, causes no damage to the teeth. It simply breaks the large staining molecules into smaller ones and, as a result, the surface of the tooth reflects the light more effectively, making the tooth appear lighter in colour. Unlike other in-office bleaching methods, the laser beam is in contact with each tooth for only 30 seconds at a time. This way, the risk of heat damage to the pulp is minimised. The bleaching substance is not ingested.
