Restore colour with professional, affordable Zoom teeth whitening in Melbourne.
At Oakleigh Dental, we offer two forms of teeth whitening treatment: in-chair bleaching using Philips Zoom Teeth Whitening, and take-home whitening kits by Pola. Bleaching is a very safe and non-invasive method of achieving a dazzling white smile.
Zoom in-office whitening lightens the colour of teeth using a hydrogen peroxide gel and a specially designed visible LED light lamp, achieving maximum whitening in the shortest possible time. The whitening gel is applied to the teeth and then exposed to the light for four 15-minute sessions.
A plastic retractor keeps the mouth open and jaw comfortable, and the soft tissues of the mouth are covered to avoid being exposed to the gel or light. Patients also wear glasses to protect their eyes.
We always recommend in-chair treatment first, but If you are suitable for take-home treatment, a teeth whitening dentist will take impressions of your teeth to develop a set of custom-moulded trays — one each for your upper and lower teeth. Subsequently, we will provide a bleaching kit with detailed instructions.
Bleaching typically lasts 1-3 weeks for best results. Before treatment, make sure you book a consultation with us first to discuss your suitability. In order to ensure oral health, avoid using teeth whitening products not recommended by your dentist.
Our Zoom teeth whitening treatment delivers results that last for years and can be easily maintained using a touch-up gel in the case of any discolouration. Overall, the effects of Zoom dental whitening will last according to your personal oral care.
A high level of oral hygiene is still required to maintain results. Above all, we recommend flossing daily and brushing twice daily to ensure results are long-term.
While we recommend having a general checkup once every six months, it is not recommended that you undergo Zoom whitening treatments more than once a year. However, you may be able to have a touch-up treatment at six months if your teeth are in a healthy state.
For a few days after treatment, it is important to avoid eating and drinking coloured substances. This is because bleaching opens up the enamel tubules of the teeth and, if you consume coloured foods, your teeth may absorb the colour.
You can resume your normal diet after about a week. In the meantime, you should expect sensitive teeth and some minor gum irritation for a couple of days. Similarly, you should avoid overly hot or cold drinks and food.
Our in-chair Zoom process is the quickest and easiest way to achieve a significantly brighter smile.

While our whitening treatments are designed to last for years with good oral hygiene, teeth whitening is not permanent. Eventually, the effects of treatment will fade, but taking care of your teeth with regular cleaning will prolong the effects.
Unfortunately, teeth whitening treatment is not suitable for everyone. As a general rule, if you fall into one of these categories, you should avoid it:
Teeth whitening only changes the colour of enamel, but does not change the colour of dental fixtures such as crowns, bridges, veneers or fillings.
The lighter the food is, the better! After Philips teeth whitening, consider eating foods like eggs, bagels, non-sugary cereals, basic sandwiches without highly coloured condiments, poultry, potatoes and rice. Appropriate beverages include milk, apple juice and green tea
You should avoid foods like chocolate, caramels, soy sauce and berries, and drinks such as red wine, black tea, coffee and beer.
Discolouration is when the colour of your teeth changes, and they don’t appear as bright as they should, due to stains or spots. Discolouration occurs in three primary ways:
Zoom whitening is the quickest and easiest path to removing stains.
In-chair whitening treatment can be completed in a single 45-minute to an hour appointment with long-lasting results! At-home kits may take up to two weeks for results to reach their peak, and whitening toothpastes can take up to four weeks and will deliver much less dramatic results.
Our Zoom teeth whitening procedures make use of a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide, which only dentists are allowed to use. However, our techniques have undergone extensive research and clinical studies to show that under the supervision of a dentist, whitening teeth is a perfectly safe and effective treatment.
There is no standard of whitening improvement for everyone — it depends on an individual’s teeth. Whitening will at the very least improve your teeth by one to two shades, which will still create a noticeable difference, but some teeth may improve by up to eight shades.
