Modern dentistry. Personalised care.01 THE TREATMENT
A little brighter.
A lot more you.
A fresh approach to your natural smile.
Over time, teeth can become discoloured due to factors such as food and drink, smoking, ageing, or certain medications.
Professional teeth whitening is one of the most straightforward ways to address surface and deeper staining, using controlled, dentist-supervised methods rather than generic over-the-counter products.
At Footscray Dental Studio, we offer whitening options tailored to your individual needs following a thorough consultation.
✳
Your teeth. Your goals.
A plan made around you.
The right treatment starts with understanding your smile.
Teeth whitening is generally suitable for patients with staining or discolouration who are in good general oral health.
It isn't suitable for everyone — for example, patients with certain existing dental work, untreated decay, or gum disease may need other issues addressed first.
Whitening results can also vary between individuals depending on the type and cause of staining. Your dentist will confirm your suitability at consultation.
GOOD TO KNOW
Whitening only affects natural tooth enamel. Existing crowns, veneers and fillings won't change colour.
03 YOUR CARE JOURNEY
Every step.
Clearly explained.
Professional whitening at our practice generally involves four stages, with time to discuss your questions along the way.
Let's talk
Your dentist examines your teeth and gums to confirm you're a suitable candidate and discusses your goals.
Consultation & assessmentYour starting shade
Your current tooth shade is recorded so progress can be tracked.
Shade assessmentYour treatment
Depending on the option recommended, whitening may be carried out in-chair, via a take-home kit, or a combination of both.

Review & ongoing careAFTER YOUR TREATMENT
A brighter smile.
Thoughtful aftercare.
Some temporary sensitivity is common after whitening treatment. Your dentist will provide guidance on caring for your teeth afterwards, including any dietary recommendations to help maintain your results.
Results vary between individuals depending on diet, habits such as smoking, and oral hygiene. We'll talk through what to expect for your smile.

before you begin.
Have another question?
Our team is happy to help.
How long does teeth whitening take?
This depends on the method used — in-chair whitening is typically completed in a single visit, while take-home whitening is used over a period at home as directed by your dentist.
Is teeth whitening painful?
Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity during or after treatment, which your dentist can help manage.
How long do results last?
This varies between individuals depending on diet, habits such as smoking, and oral hygiene — your dentist can discuss what to expect and how to help maintain your results.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Professional whitening carried out under dentist supervision is a widely used cosmetic treatment; your dentist will confirm suitability for your specific teeth and oral health.
Will whitening work on crowns or veneers?
No, whitening only affects natural tooth enamel — existing crowns, veneers or fillings won't change colour, which your dentist will discuss if relevant to your treatment plan.
Can I choose how white my teeth become?
Your dentist will discuss achievable and appropriate shade options with you as part of your consultation, based on your natural teeth and treatment type.
