At home kits
There are as many take-home options as there are fish in the sea. From the over-the-counter options at your local chemist, to more advanced mail order options, and even take-home versions of your dentist’s professional whitening kits.
With take home kits, it’s particularly important to note how many treatments they require, and the total cost (plus maintenance).
And as always, check the reviews, to choose the most effective product.
In-Chair Whitening
With so many at-home options, including professional grade Zoom! Take Home kits, who should consider in-chair whitening treatments? The answer is simple: Anyone who wants to be sure about their results, without the diligence of a 14 day regimen.
There is simply no comparison to the in-chair experience. Prior to your whitening treatment, we recommend all of our patients have a complimentary 15-minute whitening consultation where your dentist is able to able to evaluate the health of your teeth, assess the level of staining and set expectations for your whitening results.
The treatment itself can be completed in as little as 36 minutes in most cases and the results can last for 2-3 years which is more than any other whitening system. It’s a level of customisation and precision you simply can’t get at home, or at a pop-up whitening bar.
Did you know?
Professional, in-chair whitening can last up to 3 years in some cases? That’s a lot of gorgeous smiles from a process that can take just 36 minutes!
Compare that with results from popular at-home kits:
- Results from over-the-counter whitening strips typically last 1-2 weeks
- Results from at-home bleach kits can last between 3-9 months… But can still cost hundreds of dollars for less than half the results of professional whitening
Whitening At Bexley
At Bexley, our cosmetic dentists offer two types of whitening services — Smartbleach 3LT In-Chair Tooth Whitening, and Zoom! Take Home Whitening Kits, a professional-grade, at-home version of our in-chair service.
Smartbleach 3LT In-Chair Tooth Whitening Just $725!
Smartbleach 3LT In-chair whitening is the quickest, easiest, most comfortable way to whiten your teeth
Why is that?
Smartbleach 3LT is an advanced whitening system which uses “laser-like” technology and whitens teeth without using any heat, making it safer for the health of your teeth.
The treatment uses a combination of red alkaline gel and a pure green laser-like light to create an intense whitening effect. The gel does not etch the tooth enamel like other acid-based whitening systems and the laser-like light doesn’t heat the tooth pulp which is why most patients experience little to no sensitivity after treatment.
Using the Smartbleach 3LT system, your dentist is able to control your whitening procedure from start to finish to get the best results while you watch TV and relax in one of our private treatment areas.
Why Choose Bexley Dental To Whiten Your Teeth?
All of our dentists and hygienists are specially trained in Smartbleach 3LT Tooth-Whitening
It’s safe, effective and affordable
Smartbleach 3LT In-chair whitening is reasonably priced at $725, which includes take-home whitening trays if required.

Zoom! Take Home Whitening Kit – $380
At Bexley, we use Zoom! Take Home Whitening Kits for patients that wish to have professional grade whitening at home.
What makes these different from the grocery-store take-home kits?
Only take-home kits from your dentist can provide peroxide strength of up to 14%, to ensure professional-grade whitening at home. The over-the-counter options can only provide 6% — Less than half the strength.
Of course, there’s a reason for this. Your dentist knows what is appropriate and safe for your teeth… And how to instruct you to get best results. We use Philips’ Zoom products, because they are the only professional take-home whitening system with ACP (amorphous calcium phosphate). This system delivers enamel protection while it whitens, which reduces future staining, AND sensitivity.
That means your whitening treatment can actually make your teeth stronger, WHILE giving you professional-grade whitening — at home — in just 14 days.
Compare that to over-the-counter take-home methods, which take months without delivering the same results.
For the great price of just $380, you will receive a set of custom-made whitening trays, whitening gel and instructions on how to get the best results from your home whitening kit.
Frequently Asked Questions
With so many different whitening products on the market, it’s easy to get confused. So here are the facts you need to know before you commit.
Is Smartbleach 3LT safe?
Yes. Smartbleach treatment has been developed in Europe over the last fourteen years. Studies have shown there is no internal or external damage to treated teeth. Smartbleach does not heat the pulp of the tooth as other teeth whitening systems can so protects the teeth during the teeth whitening treatment.
What are the side effects?
Most patients report that they don’t experience any side effects after Smartbleach 3LT whitening but if anything, some patients may experience mildly sensitive teeth for up to 24 hours after treatment.
What’s the difference between over the counter whitening solutions and Philips Zoom?
Over-the-counter whitening products are not customised to your needs. With Smartbleach 3LT, the whitening process is tailored to your needs by your dentist to ensure the best results.
How long will my Smartbleach 3LT whitening results last?
Whitening treatments help to reduce existing stains, but through consumption of coffee, soft drinks or just through natural aging, your teeth may eventually become discoloured again. Assuming you look after your teeth normally, experience in both Europe and Australia has shown that the benefits of Smartbleach® last for years!
What causes teeth to discolour?
There are many causes to tooth discoloration. Some of the most common include the consumption highly colored foods and drinks (berries, coffee, tea, red wine). Some medications, aging, smoking and trauma can also cause teeth discoloration.
How long does it take?
With Smartbleach 3LT, your teeth will be visibly whiter immediately after treatment. With Smartbleach 3LT in-chair, you will achieve up to six shades whiter in just 36 minutes. With Zoom at-home, when used as instructed, you will achieve the same great results in one-two weeks, depending on the concentration of formulation and wear time you select.
