Your Partner To A Brighter Smile
A bright smile can open doors for new connections and even boost your mood and confidence. Perhaps years of coffee, tea, or red wine have dulled your pearly whites, or maybe your teeth just aren’t as bright as they used to be. Tooth discolouration is more common than you think, and while supermarket whitening kits promise quick fixes, they often fall short when it comes to safety and long-term results.
At Yarra Smiles, we are your local dental professionals who are deeply involved in cosmetic dentistry. We’ve seen firsthand the transformative power of a truly radiant smile. We offer trusted teeth whitening services in Canberra locals rely on for visible, long-lasting results without compromising their oral health.
Why Do Teeth Discolour?
Find Out Which Treatment Is Right For You!
Tooth discolouration is a natural process influenced by a variety of factors. It's helpful to understand why they lose their lustre in the first place.
Surface Stains
These are the most common and typically respond best to professional whitening. They occur on the outer surface of your enamel and are usually caused by:
Foods and Drinks
Coffee, tea, red wine, dark berries, curries, and certain sauces are notorious for leaving pigments on your teeth.
Tobacco Use
Smoking and chewing tobacco are significant culprits, causing stubborn yellow or brown stains.
Poor Oral Hygiene
Inadequate brushing and flossing allow plaque and tartar to build up, attracting and holding stains.
Acidic Foods & Erosion
Frequent consumption of citrus, soda, or vinegar can weaken enamel, making it easier for stains to adhere.
Grinding or Clenching (Bruxism)
Habitual teeth grinding wears down enamel, exposing the darker dentin and increasing stain susceptibility.
Internal Stains
These stains are deeper, occurring within the tooth structure (dentin) or due to changes during tooth development. They are more challenging to remove with conventional whitening and might require alternative solutions like veneers. Causes include:Aging
As we age, our enamel naturally thins, revealing more of the yellowish dentin underneath.Medications
Certain antibiotics (like tetracycline taken during childhood), antihistamines, and high blood pressure medications can cause internal staining.Injury
An injury to a tooth can cause internal bleeding or changes to the pulp, leading to discolouration.Excessive Fluoride
Overexposure to fluoride during tooth development can lead to white spots or even brown discolouration (fluorosis).Dental Restorations
Old amalgam (silver) fillings can cast a greyish shadow on the tooth.Brighten Your Smile Today!

At-Home Whitening Kits (Professional Grade)
Our teeth whitening dentist can provide you with a professional-grade at-home whitening kit that includes custom-fitted trays and a lower concentration of whitening gel.
How Professional At-Home Whitening Works? (Step-by-Step)
- Impressions
We will take impressions of your teeth to create custom-made, perfectly fitting whitening trays. These trays ensure the gel makes even contact with your teeth and minimises leakage onto your gums.
- Gel & Instructions
You’ll receive professional-strength whitening gel (e.g., carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide) and clear, detailed instructions on how to use it.
- Daily Application
You’ll wear the trays with the gel for a specified period each day (e.g., 30 minutes to a few hours, or overnight) for several days or weeks, as directed by our whitening teeth dentist.
- Follow-up
Our dentist may schedule a follow-up to check your progress and address any concerns.
While countless over-the-counter products promise dramatic results, nothing compares to the safety, effectiveness, and precision of professional dental whitening performed by our qualified teeth whitening dentist in Canberra.
What to Expect?
5 Reasons to Choose Yarra Smiles for Teeth Whitening in Canberra!
1. Your Safety First
Our dentist teeth whitening expert will first assess your oral health, ensuring no underlying issues (like cavities or gum disease) could be exacerbated by whitening. We protect your gums and soft tissues from the powerful whitening agents and often use desensitising agents or specific techniques to minimise post-treatment tooth sensitivity.
2. Lighten Teeth By Several Shades
The extent of whitening varies from person to person, depending on the initial shade of your teeth, the type of stains, and how well your enamel responds. With our professional teeth whitening Canberra service, you can typically lighten teeth by several shades, achieving a noticeably brighter smile.
3. Long-lasting Whitening
Our professional enamel-safe treatment offers long-lasting whitening. In-chair whitening results can last up to 2 years, and at-home professional kits can provide results that last several months to a year or more. To maintain your bright smile, we recommend touch-up treatments with your custom trays every 6-12 months.
4. Custom Care For Different Smiles
Every smile is different. We tailor your whitening treatment based on a thorough dental consultation. Our professional-grade treatments are formulated to minimise post-whitening discomfort. We suggest using desensitising toothpaste, fluoride treatments if needed, and adjusting the whitening strength to reduce discomfort.
5. Unmatched Experience and Expertise

Why Choose Professional Take-Home Whitening?
When it comes to whitening your teeth, you have options between store-bought kits and professional treatments.
Here’s why take-home professional whitening is often better:
- Controlled results: Take home whitening kits allow a slower gradual change of shade which means you can stop using the whitening treatment when you are happy with the result. Custom made trays can be kept for future use too and can be used in future to achieve the desired shade again if teeth shade darken again due to exposure to stains.
- Custom-Fitted Trays—Professional take-home kits include custom-fitted trays made specifically for your teeth, ensuring better coverage, protection and comfort.
- Stronger Whitening Agents—The whitening gel provided in professional kits contains higher concentrations of active ingredients, offering more effective results than over-the-counter options.
- Safer Application—your dentist should thoroughly examine your teeth to make sure no active cavities are present in your mouth that can expose the inner part of your tooth resulting in damage to the tooth that may require further treatment. We recommend a comprehensive examination to assess the suitability of your dentition for whitening procedure. With guidance from your dentist in Canberra, you’ll use the right amount of whitening gel, reducing the risk of sensitivity or gum irritation often associated with store-bought kits.

The Take-Home Whitening Process
Here’s a step-by-step look at what you can expect when you choose take-home whitening:
- Consultation and Impressions—Your dentist will evaluate your teeth to determine if whitening is suitable for you and take impressions to create custom trays.
- Tray Fitting and Instructions—Once your trays are ready, your Canberra dentist will ensure they fit properly and provide instructions on how to use the whitening gel.
- At-Home Whitening—You’ll fill the trays with the recommended amount of gel and wear them for the specified time each day, usually for two weeks.
You can keep your teeth whitening trays for touch-up treatment when needed. If you need more gel, we offer top-ups for sale at our dental clinic in Canberra.
