About teeth whitening
Professional Teeth Whitening at Arete Dental Studio
Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments - a safe, effective way to brighten your smile under clinical supervision. At Arete Dental Studio, we offer a boutique whitening experience designed to minimise sensitivity while delivering noticeable, lasting results.
Choose from our advanced in-chair whitening system for immediate brightness, or our custom take-home kits with fitted trays for gradual improvement at your convenience. For patients looking to combine whitening with other cosmetic improvements, we also offer porcelain veneers and composite bonding to achieve a complete smile transformation.

Key benefits
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening
Sensitivity Management
Built-in desensitising agents and tailored treatment concentrations ensure your comfort during and after whitening, even for patients with sensitive teeth.
Improved Brightness
With appropriate care and the included take-home top-up kit, your improved brightness can be maintained for months to years.
Comparing options
In-Chair vs Take-Home Whitening
Our in-chair whitening is a 60-90 minute procedure performed at the clinic. Professional-strength gel is applied and activated for visible improvement - ideal for events, special occasions or patients who prefer a single-visit approach.
Take-home whitening uses custom-fitted trays made from impressions of your teeth. You apply a lower-concentration gel for 30-60 minutes daily over 1-2 weeks, gradually building to your desired shade from the comfort of home.
Many patients achieve effective results by combining both approaches - in-chair treatment for visible improvement, followed by periodic take-home top-ups to maintain their result over time.
Suitability
Who May Be Suitable for Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening works on natural tooth enamel and is suitable for most adults with healthy teeth and gums.
May suit you if
You have stained or yellowed teeth from coffee, tea, wine or ageing, and want a brighter, more confident smile.
May not be suitable if
You have untreated decay, active gum disease, very thin enamel, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. A consultation determines suitability.
Important to know
Whitening does not change the colour of existing fillings, veneers or crowns. If you have visible restorations, we may recommend whitening first and then replacing restorations to match.

Whitening process
From Consultation to Your Brighter Smile
1
Consultation and assessment
We assess your teeth and gums for suitability, discuss your aesthetic goals and determine the most appropriate whitening approach for your situation.
Indicative timeframe: 20-30 minutes
2
Gum and lip protection
Your gums and lips are carefully protected with a specialised barrier, isolating only the teeth to be whitened for safe, targeted treatment.
Indicative timeframe: 10 minutes
3
Whitening activation
Professional-strength whitening gel is applied and activated to break down deep stains. Multiple applications may be performed in a single session.
Indicative timeframe: 45-60 minutes (in-chair)
4
The reveal and aftercare
We reveal your brighter smile, provide aftercare instructions and your take-home top-up kit for maintaining results.
Indicative timeframe: same visit
Results vary depending on the type and severity of staining and your natural tooth shade.
After whitening
Maintaining Your Whitening Results
For the first 48 hours after treatment, we recommend a "white diet" - avoiding dark-coloured foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine, berries and soy sauce. This allows the whitening to stabilise for the best possible result.
Long-term maintenance involves regular brushing, professional cleans, and periodic top-ups using your custom take-home trays. How long your results last depends on lifestyle factors - patients who consume less staining food and drink typically maintain brightness longer.
Complete your smile
Complementary Cosmetic Treatments
Many patients choose to combine teeth whitening with other cosmetic improvements for a complete smile transformation. Consider porcelain veneers for shape and alignment correction, composite bonding for minor chips and gaps, or clear aligners for straightening before whitening. Our cosmetic team can help you plan the right sequence of treatments for your goals.

Common Questions
How much does professional teeth whitening cost in Brisbane?
Based on current pricing, professional take-home whitening at Arete Dental Studio is $249, which includes custom-fit trays and professional whitening gel. Pola Rapid in-chair whitening is $799 for visible improvement in a single session. Both options include a complimentary suitability consultation. Visit our Pricing and Offers page for the latest packages.
Is professional whitening better than store-bought kits?
Professional whitening uses higher-concentration, clinically tested gels applied under supervision for a more predictable result. Over-the-counter products may use lower-strength agents or abrasive materials that can be less effective or potentially damage enamel.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
With appropriate care, results can last 6 months to 2 years depending on lifestyle factors such as coffee, tea and red wine consumption. We provide a take-home top-up kit and aftercare guidance to help maintain your result.
Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Modern professional whitening systems include desensitising agents to minimise discomfort. If you have sensitive teeth, we tailor the treatment concentration. Any sensitivity is usually mild and temporary, typically resolving within 24-48 hours.
Can I whiten my veneers or dental crowns?
Whitening only affects natural enamel - porcelain veneers and crowns will not change colour. If you have existing restorations, we may recommend whitening your natural teeth first and then discussing replacement of older restorations to match your new shade.
What is the difference between in-chair and take-home whitening?
In-chair whitening ($799) is a 60-90 minute procedure for visible improvement, ideal for events or a quick refresh. Take-home whitening ($249) uses custom trays worn for 30-60 minutes daily over 1-2 weeks for gradual improvement. Many patients combine both approaches for effective results.
How many shades whiter can I expect?
Results vary depending on the type and severity of staining, your natural tooth shade, and the whitening method used. Most patients see a noticeable improvement. We discuss realistic expectations at your consultation.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Professional teeth whitening is a well-established cosmetic treatment when performed under clinical supervision. We use clinically proven gels with built-in sensitivity management. Your teeth and gums are assessed for suitability before treatment begins.
Can I whiten my teeth if I have fillings?
Whitening does not change the colour of existing fillings. If you have visible fillings in your front teeth, we may recommend whitening first and then replacing the fillings to match your new shade for a consistent result.
Where is Arete Dental Studio located?
Arete Dental Studio is located on Racecourse Road in Ascot, convenient for patients across Brisbane including Hamilton, Hendra and Clayfield.
