Zoom teeth whitening is applied in two ways at our Canberra City clinic. Patients can opt for the in-clinic method, which involves treatment by one of our dentists.

How long does teeth whitening last?

Teeth whitening can last from six months up to two years – Lifestyle factors, such as smoking and consuming foods and beverages that stain the teeth, may reduce the longevity of the treatment. Heavy consumers of coffee, tea, wine, and/or soft drink will see inferior long-term results.

No, it doesn’t. Teeth whitening works only on tooth enamel. However, teeth whitening can sometimes remove stains from crowns and veneers.

Is tooth whitening suitable for everyone?
