Get a brighter, whiter smile at Radiant Smiles Dental Care. We use Philips Zoom in-chair whitening, one of the most clinically researched professional whitening systems in dentistry. A 60 to 90 minute appointment typically lifts teeth by around 5 to 8 shades, with a result you can see when you leave the chair.
If you would rather whiten gradually at home, we also offer custom-fitted take-home whitening trays made from your own dental impressions. Both options are supervised by our dentists and use stronger, professionally applied whitening agents than products sold over the counter.
Quick facts: Philips Zoom in-chair whitening from $490 with our new-patient offer. Around 5 to 8 shades brighter in 60 to 90 minutes. Single visit, no downtime. Open 7 days at our Yokine clinic, about 6km north of the Perth CBD. HBF preferred provider and NIB First Choice provider. Afterpay, Zip, and Humm are available, subject to the providers’ approval and terms.
What Teeth Whitening Can and Cannot Do?
It helps to set honest expectations before booking. Professional whitening is very effective on extrinsic stains, the surface discolouration that builds up from coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and time. Most patients see a noticeable lift from a single Zoom session.
What whitening does not fix:
- Intrinsic discolouration from tetracycline antibiotics, fluorosis, dental trauma, or root canal treatment. These deeper stains sit inside the tooth and respond poorly to bleaching.
- Crowns, veneers, fillings, or bridges. These do not whiten, because they are not natural tooth structure. If you have visible restorations on your front teeth, we plan around them.
- Underlying decay or gum disease. We assess and treat these before whitening, because bleaching active decay or inflamed gums can cause pain and other problems.
If your discolouration is intrinsic or you have restorations on your smile line, we will talk you through alternatives such as porcelain veneers or composite bonding at your consultation.
Our Teeth Whitening Treatment
At Radiant Smiles, we offer two professional whitening options to suit your lifestyle, timeline, and budget. During your consultation, we’ll assess your teeth, discuss your whitening goals, and recommend the best approach for your individual needs.
In-Chair Teeth Whitening
Our in-chair teeth whitening is perfect if you want dramatic results fast. Using the Philips Zoom professional whitening system, we can transform your smile in a single appointment. This makes in-chair whitening ideal if you have a wedding, job interview, special event, or simply don’t want to wait weeks for results.
During your appointment, we first protect your gums with a barrier, then carefully apply the professional-strength whitening gel to your teeth. The advanced LED light activates the gel to accelerate the whitening process. The treatment takes approximately 60-90 minutes, and you’ll leave our clinic with a noticeably whiter smile that same day.
The Philips Zoom system is trusted by dentists worldwide and includes enamel-protecting ingredients to help reduce sensitivity during and after treatment.
Best for: Patients wanting immediate results, upcoming weddings and events, job interviews, busy schedules
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Many people try supermarket whitening strips, whitening toothpastes, or DIY kits before realising these products simply don’t deliver the results they want. Professional teeth whitening at a dental clinic offers significant advantages over these over-the-counter alternatives.
When you choose professional whitening at Radiant Smiles, you benefit from stronger, dentist-grade whitening agents that can lighten your teeth by several shades in a single appointment. Your treatment is supervised by qualified dental professionals who can monitor your progress, protect your gums from irritation, and address any sensitivity issues that may arise. Before your whitening treatment begins, we’ll also examine your teeth for any underlying issues like decay or gum disease that could affect your results or cause complications.
Over-the-counter products contain much weaker concentrations of whitening agents, meaning you’ll need to use them repeatedly over weeks or months to see modest improvements. Some products sold online may contain unregulated chemicals that can damage your enamel or cause severe sensitivity. With professional whitening, you know exactly what’s being applied to your teeth, and you have the peace of mind that comes with expert supervision.

We recommend a dental examination and professional clean before whitening to ensure optimal results. This allows us to identify any underlying issues and remove surface stains for better whitening gel contact.
What Causes Teeth Staining?
Understanding why teeth become discoloured can help you maintain your whitening results. Tooth discolouration generally falls into two categories: extrinsic stains that affect the outer surface of the tooth, and intrinsic stains that occur within the tooth structure itself.
Extrinsic stains are typically caused by consuming coffee, tea, red wine, cola, or dark-coloured foods like berries and tomato-based sauces. Smoking and tobacco use also cause stubborn yellow and brown surface stains. Poor oral hygiene that allows plaque and tartar to build up contributes to a dull, discoloured appearance. These surface stains respond very well to professional whitening treatments.
Intrinsic discolouration can result from exposure to certain antibiotics during childhood, excessive fluoride intake during tooth development, trauma or injury to teeth, and the natural ageing process which causes the outer enamel to thin and reveal the yellowish dentin beneath. While intrinsic stains can be more challenging to treat, professional whitening can still significantly improve the appearance of your teeth.
The Teeth Whitening Procedure
Whether you choose in-chair whitening or a take-home kit, your journey to a brighter smile begins with a consultation at our Yokine clinic.
Your Consultation
During your initial appointment, our dentist will examine your teeth and gums to ensure you’re a suitable candidate for whitening. We’ll discuss your goals, assess the type and severity of your staining, and recommend the most appropriate whitening option for you. If we identify any issues like tooth decay or gum disease that could affect your results, we’ll address these before proceeding with whitening.
Preparing for Treatment
If you have sensitive teeth, we’ll provide you with a desensitising oral gel to use for one week before your whitening treatment. This gel helps strengthen your enamel and minimise any discomfort during and after the procedure.
During In-Chair Whitening
Your in-chair appointment takes approximately 60-90 minutes. We begin by cleaning your teeth to remove any surface debris, then apply a protective barrier to shield your gums from the whitening gel. The Philips Zoom gel is applied to your teeth and activated with the LED light to accelerate results. Depending on your desired outcome, we may repeat the application process. Once complete, we remove the gel and reveal your new, brighter smile.
Teeth Whitening Aftercare
To maximise your whitening results and keep your smile looking brilliant for as long as possible, follow these aftercare guidelines.
The First 48-72 Hours
Your teeth are more porous immediately after whitening and susceptible to re-staining. During this time, avoid dark-coloured foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine, berries, tomato-based sauces, soy sauce, curry, and beetroot. Also avoid smoking during this critical period.
Long-Term Maintenance
Maintain excellent oral hygiene with twice-daily brushing and daily flossing. Consider using a whitening toothpaste to help prevent new surface stains. Rinse your mouth with water after consuming staining foods or drinks. Attend regular dental check-ups and professional cleans. Use your take-home kit for periodic touch-ups when needed.
With proper care, professional teeth whitening results can last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on your lifestyle and oral hygiene habits.
Who Is a Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is suitable for most adults with healthy teeth and gums who want to improve the colour of their smile. It works best on natural teeth with yellow or brown staining caused by food, drinks, smoking, or ageing.
Teeth whitening may not be recommended if you have untreated tooth decay or gum disease, extremely sensitive teeth, worn enamel or exposed tooth roots, or dental restorations like crowns, veneers, or fillings on your visible front teeth, as these won’t change colour with whitening treatment. We also advise caution if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
During your consultation, we’ll assess your individual situation and let you know if teeth whitening is right for you. If whitening isn’t suitable, we can discuss alternative cosmetic options such as dental veneers or composite bonding.

Teeth Whitening FAQs
How much does teeth whitening cost in Perth?
At Radiant Smiles, our Philips Zoom in-chair teeth whitening is $490. Contact us on (08) 9440 3654 for current pricing and to discuss which option is best for you.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, professional teeth whitening performed by a qualified dentist is safe. We use approved whitening agents and protect your gums throughout the procedure. Some temporary sensitivity is normal but typically resolves within a few days.
What are the risks of home kits and salon teeth whitening?
Some home kits don’t contain enough of the whitening product to be effective. More generally, if a dental professional is not doing the whitening, the mouth guard provided may not fit properly so some of the bleaching gel may leak out onto your gums and into your mouth, causing blistering and sensitivity. Check out cosmetic dentistry Perth to learn more.
How long does teeth whitening last?
Results typically last six months to two years, depending on your diet, lifestyle, and oral hygiene. Avoiding staining substances like coffee, tea, and red wine, and using your take-home kit for touch-ups will help prolong your results.
How white will my teeth get?
With our Philips Zoom in-chair whitening, most patients achieve teeth that are 5-8 shades whiter in just one appointment. Results vary depending on your original tooth shade and the type of staining. We’ll give you realistic expectations during your consultation.
Does teeth whitening hurt?
The procedure itself is painless. Some patients experience temporary sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures during or after treatment, which usually subsides within a day or two. We provide desensitising gel to minimise any discomfort.
Will teeth whitening work on my crowns or fillings?
No, whitening only works on natural tooth enamel. Dental restorations like crowns, veneers, and fillings won’t change colour with whitening treatment. If you have visible restorations, we may recommend replacing them after whitening to match your new shade.
How is professional whitening different from store-bought kits?
Professional whitening uses stronger, dentist-grade whitening agents that deliver faster, more dramatic results. Treatment is supervised by qualified professionals who protect your gums and can address any sensitivity. Store-bought products contain weaker formulas and generic trays that often lead to uneven results and potential gum irritation.
How soon before an event should I whiten my teeth?
For in-chair whitening, book a few days before your event to allow any initial sensitivity to subside. For take-home kits, start two to three weeks before your event for optimal results.
Can I whiten my teeth if I have sensitive teeth?
Yes, but we may recommend take-home whitening with a gentler formula, or provide desensitising gel to use for one week before your in-chair treatment. Our dentists will assess your sensitivity and recommend the safest approach for you.
