Whitening lightens natural teeth only — it does not change fillings, crowns or veneers — and results vary. A dental examination is required first. Prices current at October 2026 and may change. Read the risks and considerations.
At North Ryde Dentistry, we offer take-home and in-chair whitening. Whitening may lighten natural teeth, but the degree and duration of colour change vary. Some discolouration responds poorly. Crowns, veneers and tooth-coloured fillings do not whiten in the same way, so colour differences can remain. Tooth sensitivity and gum irritation can occur. Read whitening risks, recovery and alternatives.
Custom trays made from a scan of your teeth, with a lower-strength whitening gel that you wear at home, usually for 30 minutes a day over one to two weeks. Includes the trays and gel (items 119 × 2, 927). A dental examination is required first. Prices current at October 2026 and may change.
A whitening appointment in the practice using the SDI Pola Office+ system (items 118 × 12). A higher-strength gel is applied and activated in the chair; sensitivity during and after treatment is common. Some patients follow up with a take-home kit. A dental examination is required first. Prices current at October 2026 and may change.
In-chair whitening uses the SDI Pola Office+ system. Your dentist or oral health therapist will explain how long the appointment takes, what sensitivity to expect and how to look after your teeth afterwards.
Treatment and recovery: In-chair and take-home methods use different products and schedules. Follow the specific instructions provided; do not increase concentration, wear time or frequency yourself. Sensitivity or irritation is often temporary and may last a few days, but can persist. Stop using the product and contact the practice if pain or irritation is significant or does not settle. Results may fade; repeat treatment is not automatically appropriate.
