Teeth Whitening at Brisbane Smile Boutique
Achieve a Brighter, More Radiant Smile
Everyday habits like drinking black tea, coffee, or red wine can gradually discolour your teeth. At Brisbane Smile Boutique, we offer advanced Zoom Teeth Whitening technology, proven in clinical studies to whiten teeth by an average of 8+ shades in one session—refreshing and rejuvenating your smile with little to no discomfort.
Led by Dr Leila Haywood and oral health therapist Alex Forbes, your whitening journey begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess suitability and ensure your teeth and gums are in good health before treatment.
What to Expect During Whitening
- Comfortably relax with Netflix or music during your 2-hour appointment
- Professional application of Zoom Whitening gel and activation with blue light
- Four 15-minute cycles for effective, long-lasting results
What to Know Before Whitening
- Not suitable for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Temporary sensitivity may occur in 5% of patients (relieved with pain relief)
- White diet is required for 48 hours post-treatment
- Maintenance is required every 1–3 years to maintain brightness
Limitations & Realistic Expectations
- Crowns, veneers, bonding, and fillings do not whiten
- Grey or aging teeth may be more resistant to whitening
- Natural enamel typically won’t match the whiteness of porcelain veneers
- Dentine exposure or wear near the gumline won’t whiten
Zoom Whitening vs Take-Home Kits
While Zoom Whitening gives instant results, we also offer take-home kits for gradual improvement or maintenance. These typically take 10–14 days and are perfect for refreshing your smile every 6 months. Take-home kits alone cost $350.
Sensitivity & Comfort
The majority of patients experience no sensitivity. If you are prone to sensitivity, we recommend an over-the-counter analgesic before your appointment. Avoid very hot or cold foods for 24 hours if sensitivity arises.
How Zoom Whitening Works
- Gums are protected and your initial tooth shade is recorded
- Zoom gel is applied and activated with a blue light
- Four 15-minute applications complete your treatment
- After photo taken and post-care discussed
Safety & Longevity
Zoom Whitening is a safe, dentist-administered procedure. It does not damage enamel or fillings. However, over-the-counter kits can be abrasive and acidic—professional supervision is always advised. Whitening results can last for years with good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
