Why Whiten Your Teeth?
Teeth whitening is a sought-after cosmetic dental treatment designed to improve the appearance of your teeth. It’s an effective way to achieve a brighter, whiter, more confident smile. Whether your teeth are stained from years of coffee, tea, or smoking, or you simply want to brighten your natural shade, our customised treatments cater to your needs and help you achieve your desired shade.
Teeth Whitening Options
We encourage the use of at-home teeth whitening, which we believe provides the safest and most cost-effective way of delivering this service. An assessment and teeth cleaning is performed to ensure that the procedure will be effective and safe for your teeth, and a set of impressions are taken. Special trays are made on the models to ensure a perfect fit for applying the teeth whitening agents, after which you are instructed on their application. A couple of weeks later you will be proud of your bright smile! The whitening agents have undergone extensive testing and are strictly regulated to ensure they do not harm tooth enamel or gums.
Benefits of Professional Tooth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening take-home kits offer several benefits vs over the counter options:
- These kits are custom moulded to your teeth so that the whitening gel is evenly distributed for consistent results.
- Professional kits use higher-grade whitening agents than over-the-counter options for more noticeable and lasting results.
- Under the guidance of a dentist, these kits are safer to use. Dr Rostkier provides instructions on how to apply the gel and how long to wear the trays. This reduces the risk of gum irritation or damage to your enamel.
- You can whiten your teeth at your own pace and in the comfort of your home, fitting the treatment around your schedule vs in-chair whitening.
If you experience any issues or have questions during your whitening process, you have the support of the team at Dr Rostkier, who can offer guidance and adjust treatment if necessary.
Managing Sensitivity and Post-Whitening Care
It’s common to experience some sensitivity during and after teeth whitening. This can be managed with products like desensitising toothpaste or fluoride gel. To maintain your new smile, practise good oral hygiene and avoid foods and drinks that can stain teeth.

Questions?
External factors such as foods, drinks, smoking, and poor oral hygiene can contribute to staining the outer layer of your teeth.
Internal factors such as genetics, medications, or trauma can cause changes within the structure of the teeth, leading to deeper discolouration.
Teeth whitening is a safe and effective treatment when performed by a qualified dentist. However, it may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with sensitive teeth or gums. An initial examination by a dentist will determine whether you are a suitable candidate. Teeth whitening is also not recommended for teeth that have undergone root canal therapy. Dr Steven Rostkier can assess your suitability for teeth whitening and recommend alternative treatments if necessary.
The teeth whitening process is generally painless, but some people may experience sensitivity or discomfort during or shortly after the treatment. This sensitivity is usually temporary and can often be managed with desensitising toothpaste. Dr. Rostkier takes careful steps to minimise any discomfort and ensure the treatment is as comfortable and safe as possible. If you have concerns about sensitivity, discuss them with us during your consultation.
The results of teeth whitening can last from six months to two years, but it varies. How long your whitening lasts mostly depends on your oral hygiene and lifestyle. To keep your teeth white longer, avoid foods and drinks that stain, like coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. Regular brushing, flossing, and occasional touch-up treatments will also help keep your smile bright.
Most people use the take-home kits daily for about two weeks. However, some might see results sooner, while others may need a few extra days to get the whiteness they want. Always follow your dentist's instructions carefully to get the best results and avoid any problems from using the kit too much.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by Medicare in Australia. Medicare usually only covers treatments that are medically necessary. Since teeth whitening is for aesthetic improvements, it does not qualify.
We provide on-the-spot claims from your health insurance fund through HICaps. For any outstanding balance, we accept all major credit cards, cash and cheques.
We recommend the use of at-home teeth whitening, which we believe provides the safest and most cost-effective way of whitening teeth.
Yes, sensitive teeth can be whitened with professional treatment, and a dentist will advise on the best products to use before and after treatment to strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity.
