Want a brighter smile for a big event—or just every day? Professional teeth whitening is a fast, effective way to lift stains and refresh your confidence without changing the shape of your teeth. At Hunter Family Dental, we offer in-chair and take-home teeth whitening options designed for predictable results, minimal sensitivity, and a naturally radiant finish.

Why choose professional teeth whitening?
Over time, coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and everyday life can dull your enamel. Store-bought kits might lighten surface stains, but professional teeth whitening reaches deeper discolouration with carefully controlled gels and custom-fit trays. You’ll get:
- Visible results quickly – in-chair teeth whitening can brighten your smile in about an hour.
- Custom care – our take-home teeth whitening kits use trays made to fit your teeth precisely.
- Lower sensitivity – we tailor gel strength and timing, and provide soothing desensitisers.
- Guidance and safety – we check your gums, fillings, and enamel before any teeth whitening begins.

How our teeth whitening options work
In-chair whitening
Perfect when you want fast results. After protecting your gums and lips, we apply a professional teeth whitening gel and activate it in carefully timed rounds. You’ll relax while we monitor progress until your shade looks bright yet natural.
Custom take-home kit
Ideal for flexibility and top-ups. We take digital impressions and make slim, comfortable trays. You’ll wear them with our professional teeth whitening gel for the recommended time each day—usually 10–14 days—to build a consistent, even result.
Many patients combine both: in-chair for an instant boost, plus a take-home kit to maintain their teeth whitening result over time.
Who is a good candidate?
Most adults with healthy gums and enamel are suitable for teeth whitening. It’s especially helpful for extrinsic stains from coffee, tea, and red wine, and for the general yellowing that comes with age. If you have internal staining, translucent edges, or dental work on front teeth, we’ll discuss whether teeth whitening alone will meet your goals or if a different option (like bonding or veneers) would be wiser.
What to expect at your appointment
- Shade check & exam – We record your current colour and screen for issues that could affect teeth whitening, like decay or gum inflammation.
- Preparation – We protect soft tissues, then apply professional gel at a concentration tailored to you.
- Activation & monitoring – The gel works in short cycles; we check shade changes and your comfort.
- Finish & aftercare – You’ll leave with a brighter smile and a simple plan to maintain your teeth whitening results.
Results, safety, and sensitivity
Professional teeth whitening is one of the safest cosmetic dental treatments when delivered by trained clinicians. Temporary sensitivity is possible—especially in the first 24–48 hours—but we help you manage it with desensitising products, careful timing, and at-home tips. Our aim is a noticeably whiter smile that still looks like you.
How long does whitening last?
With good habits, many patients enjoy their teeth whitening for 6–18 months. Longevity depends on your diet, oral hygiene, and lifestyle. A quick top-up with your custom trays every few months can keep your smile looking fresh year-round.
Simple ways to maintain your new shade
- Rinse after coffee, tea, or red wine
- Use a straw for iced drinks when practical
- Brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste
- Book regular cleans—polishing helps preserve teeth whitening results
- Keep your trays and gel for occasional top-ups as advised
Costs and payment options
You’ll receive a written plan outlining the recommended teeth whitening approach, expected results, and fees. We keep pricing transparent and can bundle in-chair plus take-home teeth whitening if you’d like a comprehensive plan. Ask about flexible payment options at your visit.

FAQs
Yes—professional teeth whitening is safe when supervised by a dentist. We protect your gums, customise gel strength, and only proceed once your teeth and gums are healthy.
Some people notice short-term sensitivity during teeth whitening. We manage this with desensitising gel, adjusted wear times, and aftercare tips. Sensitivity usually settles within 24–48 hours.
Everyone’s enamel responds differently. Our goal is a brighter, natural shade—typically several levels lighter. We’ll show you a realistic range before teeth whitening begins.
No—restorations don’t change colour with teeth whitening. If they’re in your smile line, we may plan to replace them after you reach your new shade so everything matches.
With mindful habits and the occasional top-up, teeth whitening can last many months. Coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking will shorten the interval between refreshes.
We’ll treat any active issues first. Healthy foundations make teeth whitening safer and more effective.
Both work well. In-chair teeth whitening is faster; take-home offers fine-tuned control and easy maintenance. Many patients choose a combined approach.
Professional teeth whitening uses dentist-grade gels and custom trays for even contact and reliable results, plus clinical oversight for comfort and safety.
Out of caution, we generally postpone teeth whitening until after pregnancy and breastfeeding. We’re happy to plan ahead and schedule for a later date.
When used as directed under professional care, teeth whitening does not harm enamel. We avoid overuse and monitor your response throughout.
