Teeth Whitening Leichhardt
Considering teeth whitening in Leichhardt? Pomare Dental Group offers ZOOM! in-chair whitening and dentist-supervised take-home whitening from our Norton Street practice.
Our professional teeth whitening can help reduce visible staining caused by coffee, tea, smoking and natural ageing. The treatment at Pomare Dental Group is available under the supervision of Dr Luca Pomaré’s cosmetic-dentistry-trained team.
Before recommending treatment, we assess your teeth and gums, discuss the likely results and recommend a whitening option suited to your needs. Your assessment is also an opportunity to ask about sensitivity, costs and the results that may be realistic for your teeth.
Book a teeth whitening assessment or call (02) 9569 6893 to enquire.
Your Teeth Whitening Assessment
Your dental practitioner will consider your oral health, existing dental work and any history of sensitivity before discussing whitening.
Some dental concerns may need attention before treatment begins. Let us know about previous whitening, discomfort or other concerns so these can be considered when planning your care.
We will explain the recommended approach and any preparation needed before you decide whether to proceed.
Whitening Options At Our Leichhardt Practice
As part of our cosmetic dentistry in Leichhardt, Pomare Dental Group offers two professional teeth whitening options for patients looking to improve the colour of their natural teeth. Each option is suited to different schedules, preferences and whitening goals.
ZOOM! In-Chair Whitening
In-chair whitening takes place at the clinic, where the dental team applies the whitening treatment and monitors the procedure.
Your practitioner will explain the appointment requirements, discuss potential sensitivity and answer your questions before treatment. The amount of colour change varies between patients.
Dentist-Supervised Take-Home Whitening
Take-home whitening uses customised trays and whitening gel supplied with instructions from your dental practitioner. You will receive guidance on how much gel to use, how long to wear the trays and the recommended treatment schedule. Follow these instructions rather than increasing the amount or duration yourself.
Each option offers a unique approach to achieving a brighter smile whether you’re seeking immediate results or prefer a gradual change. Our team is here to guide you through these choices, ensuring you find the perfect match for your smile goals.
What Results Can You Expect?
Whitening results depend on factors such as the cause of discolouration and how your teeth respond to treatment. A particular shade cannot be guaranteed.
Whitening does not change the colour of fillings, crowns or veneers. If these are visible when you smile, your dentist will discuss how a change in your natural tooth colour could affect their appearance.
Existing restorations do not automatically need replacement after whitening. Any further treatment should be discussed separately.
Sensitivity And Aftercare
Tooth sensitivity and irritation of the gums or other soft tissues may occur with whitening. Discuss any existing sensitivity before treatment and contact our practice if you have concerns during or afterwards.
Our dentist in Leichhardt will provide instructions appropriate to the whitening product and your treatment. These may cover tray use, oral hygiene, eating and drinking, and when to arrange a review.
Teeth whitening is not permanent. Ask about maintaining the result and whether further whitening may be appropriate for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need a Check-Up Before Whitening?
Your teeth and gums need to be assessed before whitening. Our team can advise whether you need a check-up, cleaning or other care before starting treatment.
Is Professional Teeth Whitening Safe?
Dentist-supervised whitening uses a controlled concentration and is applied under professional guidance, which is safer than unsupervised over-the-counter kits.
Is Teeth Whitening Suitable For You?
Teeth whitening is a transformative treatment, but it isn’t suitable for everyone. Factors such as existing dental conditions, the type of teeth discolouration, and personal preferences are crucial in determining the most effective approach. Our dentist in Leichhardt conducts thorough assessments to ensure that the chosen whitening method aligns with your overall oral health and desired outcomes.
How Long Will Treatment Take?
This depends on the option selected and your treatment plan. We will explain the expected clinic appointments or take-home schedule following your assessment.
Will My Fillings or Crowns Whiten?
Whitening products do not lighten fillings, crowns or veneers. Your dentist will discuss any visible restorations and how these may affect your expectations.
How Long Will the Results Last?
Results vary, and teeth can become stained again over time. Your practitioner can discuss maintenance and whether future treatment may be suitable.
What To Expect After Your Teeth Whitening Treatment?
It’s common to experience mild tooth sensitivity following a whitening treatment, but this sensation typically subsides within a few days. To ensure the results stay longer, we recommend avoiding foods and beverages that stain teeth shortly after your treatment.
