Are you searching for the right teeth whitening Melbourne experience—whether in the city or at home? This guide explains the three main options, compares costs, outlines safety considerations, and highlights what makes SmileFresh unique in the CBD area.
1. In‑Chair Whitening (Clinic-Based)
-
Overview: Performed by dental professionals in a clinic, typically using LED light and professional-grade peroxide gels.
-
Typical Cost: Melbourne CBD clinics charge $800–$1,200 per session.
-
Pros: Immediate results (6–12 shades whiter); professional oversight ensures safety.
-
Cons: Higher prices; requires clinic visits and may cause mild post-treatment sensitivity.
2. Take‑Home Whitening Kits
-
Overview: Custom trays filled with dentist-prescribed gels (10–22% peroxide), used at home over 1–2 weeks.
-
Typical Cost: Between $250–$400 in Melbourne.
-
Pros: Slower, gentler results (3–8 shades brighter); more affordable.
-
Cons: Requires discipline and time; not ideal for fast results.
3. Mobile Whitening (SmileFresh)

4. Melbourne Cost Comparison
| Treatment Type | Cost (AUD) | Time Required | Shade Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-Chair (clinics) | $800–$1,200 | 60–90 min | 6–12 shades |

5. Safety, Sensitivity & Efficacy
-
Enamel Safety: All pro treatments use ~6% hydrogen peroxide gels. Temporary sensitivity is common but manageable with professional care.
-
OTC Kits: Over-the-counter options offer lower concentration results and often cause uneven whitening or gum irritation.
6. Long-Term Results & Maintenance
-
Results generally last 6–24 months, depending on diet and oral care.
-
Maintenance tips:
-
Avoid staining drinks for 48 hours post-treatment.

Use whitening toothpaste or strips occasionally.

Consider periodic top-ups as needed.

Take-home kits and strips are ideal for sustaining results on your own schedule.
