Your smile is one of the first things people notice.
Whether you’re preparing for a wedding, an important event, a holiday, or simply want to feel more confident every day, professional teeth whitening can safely and effectively lift years of staining caused by coffee, tea, red wine and everyday life.
Professional Whitening, Designed Around You
Teeth naturally darken over time due many factors, including consumption of coffee, tea and red wine. Professional whitening done under dental supervision is a safe, controlled and customised way to brighten your smile.
At Millennium Dental, we offer two whitening options:
1
Boutique Whitening Take-Home System
Professional Dentist-Only whitening system designed to whiten your teeth around your schedule. Based on your initial appointment, we select one of four different whitening gel formulations so you get a tailored experience that is comfortable and achieves maximum results.
2
Phillips Zoom In-Chair Whitening
An express solution for people who want to whiten their teeth in one appointment. We’ll provide you with desensitising instructions ahead of your appointment. Each whitening experience receives complimentary custom whitening trays, so you can maintain your new smile for year to come.
Boutique Whitening Take-Home System
Your treatment begins with a desensitising phase, where you’ll be provided with a specially formulated Black Diamond toothpaste. This helps prepare your teeth and makes whitening more comfortable.
Once ready, we’ll create your custom whitening trays and provide the dentist-only whitening gel tailored to your individual needs. There are four gel options available, and your dentist will recommend the most appropriate option based on factors such as tooth sensitivity, whether you prefer to whiten during the day or overnight, and your desired whitening result.
You will then whiten gradually at home, giving you control over the final shade and allowing your smile to brighten in a comfortable, predicable way.
What's Included:
- Desensitising Toothpaste
- Custom-made whitening trays
- Dentist prescribed whitening gel tailored to your needs
- One-month review appointment
- Before and After Comparison
- Access to our Whiter For Life Program
Whiter For Life Program
Once you complete the Boutique Whitening, you become eligible for our Whiter For Life Program.
Simply book and attend your regular dental clean at least every 7 months from your last clean, and you’ll receive a complimentary whitening gel syringe at the time of your next clean.
This helps you maintain your brighter smile long-term while supporting your ongoing oral health.

Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Yes. Professional whitening is safe when provided under the supervision of a dental professional. Before starting treatment, we assess your teeth and gums to make sure whitening is suitable for you.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity during whitening. To help reduce this, all our whitening options include a desensitising protocol to increase your comfort prior to starting. For particularly sensitive teeth, the Boutique home whitening system can be further tailored with a specific gel formulation that supports sensitivity reduction.
What is Boutique Whitening?
This is a dentist-only prescribed professional home whitening system. Following your consultation, we will recommend one of four possible gel formulations tailored to your specific needs, whether you want to whiten during the day, night, or have particularly sensitive teeth. The system allows you to whiten your teeth gradually at home while maintaining control over final shade.
How long does it take?
For home whitening, most patients whiten their teeth over 2-3 weeks, depending on their starting shade, desired result and the type of whitening gel prescribed. In chair whitening is completed within a single 90 minute appointment, with the option to continue whitening at home to enhance the results.
What is the Whiter For Life Program?
Our Whiter For Life Program helps you maintain your whitening result over time.
Once you complete the Boutique Whitening process, simply book and attend your regular dental clean at least every seven months from the date of your last clean, and you’ll receive a complimentary whitening gel syringe at the time of your next clean.
Will whitening work on crowns, veneers or fillings?
No. Whitening only changes the colour of natural tooth structure. Crowns, veneers, bridges and tooth-coloured fillings will not whiten.
If you have visible dental restorations, we will discuss this with you before treatment so you know what to expect.
How long will my whitening results last?
Results vary depending on your diet, oral hygiene and lifestyle habits. Coffee, tea, red wine, smoking and strongly coloured foods can contribute to staining over time.
With regular cleans and occasional top-up whitening, many patients are able to maintain a brighter smile long-term.
Can I whiten my teeth if I have sensitive teeth?
In many cases, yes. Boutique Whitening allows us to tailor the gel and treatment approach to your sensitivity levels. The desensitising phase also helps make the process more comfortable.
We will assess your teeth first and recommend the most appropriate option for you.
Do I need a clean before whitening?
We recommend having your teeth professionally cleaned before whitening. This helps remove plaque, tartar and surface staining so the whitening gel can work more effectively.
It is also important to be reviewed by a dental professional prior to undertaking any whitening procedure to ensure your teeth are sound as applying whitening gel to teeth with fractures or decay can lead to hyper-sensitivity.
Can everyone have teeth whitening?
Most adults are suitable for whitening, however we need to ensure untreated decay, gum disease and leaking fillings are addressed prior to starting. We will also assess the type of staining you have to ensure whitening is suitable.
A whitening consultation allows us to check your teeth and recommend the safest and most effective option for your smile.
