Professional Teeth Whitening in Garran
In every community, regardless of size and diversity, one desire shared by almost all people is for a whiter smile. Some hope to look their best for an upcoming wedding, job interview, or maybe a first date, while others love the clean, smooth feeling of a newly whitened smile. Regardless of your reasons, you deserve the most advanced and effective whitening treatment available in Garran and the Canberra area.
At Telopea Park Dental, we are proud to offer customised teeth whitening treatments that are effective and non-invasive.
Teeth Whitening Brings Your Smile Back to Life
Though we all want to keep our smiles white, many habits make that goal especially challenging. Along with the natural discolouration that comes over time, some foods and beverages also have staining qualities. Additionally, tobacco use and inadequate oral hygiene contribute to a dark smile.
If you enjoy consuming the following, you may be a good candidate for professional teeth whitening:
- Coffee and tea, especially black coffee and dark teas
- Red wine
- Berries, especially blueberries, blackberries and strawberries
- Soy sauce
- Tomato sauce
- Foods containing turmeric
Each of these foods is significantly damaging to your teeth as their staining properties are combined with acidity, which eats into tooth enamel, causing stains to become more set in.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
You've probably seen teeth whitening kits in grocery and drug stores that are inexpensive and seem easy to use. However, we recommend professional teeth whitening for several reasons. For one thing, your professional whitening service will be supervised by a dental professional to ensure the highest level of safety and the best possible results.
- Customised – We create whitening trays just for your mouth. Custom trays maintain the whitening gel on your teeth and away from more sensitive tissues like your gums and cheeks.
- Effective – Our whitening agents are at professional strength, offering you the most potent effects while still safe.
- Quick – In as little as one hour, you will notice results, and because your trays are available to be taken home, you may whiten at your convenience.
- Safe – The team at Telopea Park Dental will supervise your treatments to ensure that you know exactly how to use the system. We are also available to assist you if you have questions or concerns about your treatment.
Professional teeth whitening in Garran is fast and effective. Compared to other methods intended to improve the appearance of your teeth, whitening is also less invasive, more cost-effective and more convenient.

Frequently Asked Questions
While time is kind to whiskey and wine, regular day to day usage often wears on our teeth. The combination of the foods we eat, the liquids we drink and other habits like smoking cigarettes will inevitably discolour our teeth. Luckily, at Telopea Park Dental, our team can offer professional teeth whitening.
Commerical-Grade Teeth Whitening in Garran
If you’re concerned about how safe teeth whitening is, then working under the supervision of a dentist will help ensure a professional is monitoring you. Dr Kropinak is a medical professional who can get results without sacrificing safety.
Our current whitening system is made by Philips Zoom! WhiteSpeed, and provides an excellent combination of strength and safety. Our goal is to adopt a whitening product made in Australia that works just as well.
Custom Take-Home Trays
With this option, a team member creates impressions of your teeth so that your whitening trays will fit your unique smile. This maintains the bleaching agent on your teeth and avoids contact with more sensitive gum tissues.
Then, you will use your trays at home at the most convenient time for you.

Yes, it can but usually only temporarily. The 2 factors affecting tooth sensitivity is the concentration of the hydrogen/carbamide peroxide gel and the contact time between the gel and the teeth. The higher the concentration of the whitening gel used and/or increasing the contact time with gel and the teeth is what gives patients the increase in sensitivity. In-chair teeth whitening is commonly known to give patients “zingers” because it uses dentist only high strength 25%-38% hydrogen peroxide. Tooth contact time is only 30-60mins.
Your dentist can prescribe sensitive toothpastes, Tooth Mousse or desensitizing gels for use in custom made trays that will help relieve this transient sensitivity.
The speed of the tooth whitening effect is also proportional to the concentration of the hydrogen/carbamide peroxide gel and the contact time of the gel with the teeth (see tooth sensitivity FAQ). Increasing the gel concentration and/or increasing the contact time will give whiter teeth faster.
For the quickest and most predictable whitening effect:
1) Professional Scale clean and polish
2) In chair Zoom teeth whitening
3) Custom take home trays
Tooth whitening is nice to have and while it delivers many oral health benefits, it is not for everybody. Your teeth and gums need to be in a healthy state before starting any whitening procedure. Tooth whitening does not change the colour of decay, filings, veneers, crowns or bridges so If your teeth are heavily restored or have become badly damaged or decayed tooth whitening my not be for you. Your dentist or hygienist will be best placed to examine the state of your teeth and give you any recommendations.
There are several advantages to choosing professional teeth whitening products at a dental office.
The main reason for choosing in-office teeth whitening is the strength of the whitening gel used. The reason professional whitening is so much faster and more effective than over the counter treatments is because it has a higher concentration of the bleaching element hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. This higher concentration is TGA approved for use only by dentists. The results of the treatment are often seen immediately. Teeth whitening procedures can be performed in-chair over a one hour time frame.
In addition, in-office whitening is safer than over the counter treatments. While the concentration of the bleaching element is higher, it is better monitored by a professional dental practitioner. This allows for a safer and more effective treatment.
