Our teeth whitening in Beenleigh is a take-home system with custom trays and Pola Night gel. We also offer Twinkles tooth jewellery.
What is take-home teeth whitening?
Take-home whitening uses a bleaching gel in custom-made trays that fit your teeth. We make Pola Night trays for you, and you wear them at home as directed. The full effect may take 5 to 14 days of use, and results vary from person to person. Whitening works on natural teeth that have yellowed or picked up stains from coffee, tea, red wine or smoking. It works less well on some grey or brown discolouration, and it won’t change the colour of fillings, crowns or veneers. Some people get sensitive teeth or sore gums while whitening, which usually settles when you stop or space out applications. Whitening isn’t recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for teeth with untreated decay or gum disease, so a check-up comes first. Teeth.org.au explains what to know before whitening.

Cost of teeth whitening in Beenleigh
We’ll quote for your whitening package or Twinkle after your check-up, so you know the cost before we start. Most health funds treat whitening as cosmetic, so check your policy before you book. You can pay with Afterpay, or ask about our other payment options for larger treatment plans. All our Twinkles come with a 12-month warranty for re-adhering, provided the Twinkle is retained.
Frequently asked questions
How long does whitening last?
It varies. Coffee, tea, red wine and smoking bring stains back sooner. Occasional top-ups with your trays can help.
Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some people notice sensitivity. Tell us if it happens, and don’t use more gel or wear the trays longer than directed.
Can I whiten if I have crowns or veneers?
You can whiten natural teeth, but crowns and veneers won’t change colour. We’ll explain how that affects the overall look.
What are Twinkles?
Small gold or gem jewels bonded to the surface of a tooth, usually the second tooth from the middle at the top. No drilling is needed and they can be removed at any time.
Is shop-bought whitening the same?
No. It’s weaker and doesn’t come with a check-up or custom trays. Read what to consider before whitening.
