General FAQs

How do take-home teeth whitening kits work?

Take-home teeth whitening kits use bleaching agents like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to break down stains on and inside your teeth. The process gradually lightens the tooth color, removing surface and deeper stains. Kits come as strips, pens, or custom-fitted trays, and the results depend on the strength of the whitening agent and the level of staining on your teeth.

How long does it take to whiten teeth at home?

Professional at-home whitening kits usually show noticeable results within a week and achieve full results in 1–2 weeks. Over-the-counter products like strips or whitening toothpaste may take longer, often 2–4 weeks, depending on the level of staining and product strength.

Are at-home whitening kits safe?

Yes, at-home teeth whitening kits are generally safe when used correctly and within Australian regulations. Always follow instructions, use products with safe concentrations of whitening agents (up to 6% hydrogen peroxide or 18% carbamide peroxide), and consult your dentist if you have existing dental issues. Misuse can cause temporary sensitivity, gum irritation, or enamel damage.

How often should I use an at-home whitening kit?

Follow the instructions provided with your whitening kit, usually a 1–2 week cycle, with touch-ups every few months as needed. Overuse can lead to tooth sensitivity, gum irritation, or enamel damage.

How long will my teeth stay white after using a home kit?

Results from a take-home teeth whitening kit generally last between 4 months and 1 year, depending on the type of kit and your lifestyle habits. Dentist-provided kits usually maintain results longer than over-the-counter options.
