About treatment results. Results vary from person to person and are not guaranteed — the outcome described may not be typical or achievable for you. The degree of shade change achievable with teeth whitening depends on your starting shade, the type of discolouration and your dental health, and some people experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation. A clinical assessment is required to determine whether any treatment is suitable for you.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
The Offer
We offer a complimentary teeth whitening consultation at our Mermaid Waters practice. Simply mention this offer when you contact us and our team will book you in to assess whether whitening is suitable for you and talk through the take-home and in-chair options. The consultation is free; any whitening treatment or take-home products are charged separately. Terms and conditions apply — view offer terms.
The Treatment
At Helix Dental, we offer two professional teeth whitening options to help you achieve a brighter smile: in-chair whitening and take-home whitening kits. Both options use a peroxide-based bleaching solution to effectively whiten your teeth.
In-chair vs take-home
Whether you want a faster result in the chair or the flexibility of whitening at home, we'll guide you to the approach that suits you.
At Helix Dental, we use the Philips Zoom! teeth whitening system for our in-chair treatments. This procedure involves applying a peroxide gel to your teeth, and during the appointment a special light may be used. The degree of shade change varies from person to person depending on your starting shade, the type of discolouration and your dental health, so your dentist will assess what may be achievable for you.
We also provide professional take-home whitening kits. Your journey begins with an initial consultation where we take impressions of your teeth to create custom-made trays. You will receive these trays along with a supply of peroxide-based whitening gel. The trays should be worn for a specified period each day as directed by your dentist, with any change in shade typically becoming visible over a few weeks. How much change occurs varies between patients.
Our in-chair system
Our in-chair whitening system at Helix Dental is a relatively quick option for patients looking to lighten the shade of their teeth. Located conveniently on the Gold Coast, our professional teeth whitening appointments are typically completed within about 60 minutes.
For an additional fee, you can complement your in-chair whitening with a personalised at-home whitening kit to help maintain your results at your convenience. Offer terms apply.
Good to know
Professional teeth whitening performed by a dentist is considered safe and effective. However, some people may experience temporary sensitivity or irritation to the gums. Your dentist will take steps to minimise any potential risks.
How long whitening lasts varies depending on factors including your lifestyle habits (such as smoking or consuming staining foods and drinks), your oral hygiene, and the specific type of whitening treatment used. Typically the results of professional teeth whitening can last up to two years.
Professional teeth whitening should not damage your enamel when performed correctly. However, overuse or misuse of at-home whitening products can lead to enamel erosion and tooth sensitivity, which is why professional supervision is recommended.
Most people are good candidates for teeth whitening, but there are some exceptions. If you have extensive tooth decay or gum disease, these may need to be addressed first. Whitening may also not be recommended for pregnant or nursing mothers.
Yes, a variety of at-home whitening products are available, and we provide professional take-home kits with custom trays. Professional whitening guided by a dentist is generally considered more effective than over-the-counter treatments, and we can recommend the best option for your needs.
