Teeth Whitening in Hampton Park
Stained or discoloured teeth may keep you from smiling your best smile. The good news is that professional teeth whitening has the potential to give you the bright smile you’ve always 
wanted. And it's probably not as time-consuming or as costly as you might think!
Hampton Park Dental offers in-chair, teeth whitening and take-home whitening systems that can help you achieve your whiter smile. When done professionally with us, teeth whitening in Hampton Park is a safe, easy way for most people to really brighten up their smiles!
What Causes Yellow or Brown Tooth-Staining?
As we age, several factors contribute to the discolouration or dullness of our teeth, such as:
- Tooth-staining foods and beverages, like dark berries, curry, red wine, and black coffee or tea.
- Smoking or tobacco use
- Genetics and ageing
- Certain types of medication, like tetracycline
- Lack of good dental hygiene
Drinking plenty of water, especially when you consume tooth-staining foods and drinks, can help you avoid discolouration. A consistent home care routine and regular teeth cleans with your Hampton Park dentist will also help preserve your bright smile.
Professional Teeth Whitening in Hampton Park, VIC
At Hampton Park Dental, we make brightening your smile as convenient as possible.
In-Chair Teeth Whitening
In-chair bleaching is convenient and quick, ideal for those who don't want to wait weeks for results. We begin in-chair teeth whitening by placing a barrier around your gums to protect your soft tissues.
Next, we apply high-strength bleaching gel and allow it to do its work. Depending on your needs, we may apply more than one round of bleaching gel to achieve your desired results.
In-chair teeth whitening may take 60 to 90 minutes, and most leave our dental clinic with visible results.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
A take-home whitening system is ideal for those who want the convenience and ease of whitening their teeth at home.
We create custom plastic bleaching trays with impressions taken of your teeth. This ensures you enjoy a snug fit that prevents bleaching gel from escaping and irritating your gums.
We recommend using your trays for 30 minutes daily for 10 to 14 days or until you achieve your desired results. The best part about take-home trays is that you’ll always have them, and whenever you’d like to brighten your smile in the future, you can purchase additional bleaching gel from Hampton Park Dental.
Preserving Your Bright Smile
Once you’ve invested in teeth whitening and you’re enjoying your brighter smile, you may want to learn how to protect your investment. Here are some tips:
- Consistent daily brushing and flossing
- Routine teeth cleans with your Hampton Park dentist every six months
- Limit consumption of tooth-staining foods
- Drink a lot of water
We would love to talk with you if you’re considering professional teeth whitening for your smile!

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! If you're considering extensive dental treatment, we can help you gain early access to your superannuation funds to help you cover the cost of your treatment. Early super access can be ideal in these situations:
- You or at least one family member have superannuation funds
- You don't have personal health fund insurance
- It would be a financial hardship to cover the cost of your treatment with personal resources
Our team can help you with the paperwork for early super access while a SuperCare representative walks you through the rest of the process. You can contact our team for more information on early super access.
Note: Accessing superannuation for dental treatment is subject to eligibility and approval by the relevant government agency. We can assist with the process, but approval is not guaranteed.
Other Convenient Payment Options
If early super access is not an option for you, we do offer other options that can help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for dental care, such as:
- Preferred provider status with several private health funds, including Medibank, Bupa, HCF, NIB, CBHS
- Relationships with third-party companies that can offer affordable monthly payment plans, like Humm, Afterpay, TLC
- Medicare Child Dental Benefit - Bulk billing
- HICAPS claims processing
Eligibility for health fund benefits, payment plans, and superannuation access varies depending on the provider and individual circumstances. Terms, conditions, and lending criteria apply. Please check with your health fund or finance provider to confirm your eligibility before treatment.
If you need help sorting out the best payment arrangement for your dental care, please get in touch with your Hampton Park dentist and speak with one of our knowledgeable and helpful team members.
The cost of dental treatment depends on the type of procedures you need, and it's very specific to each patient's unique needs. The best way to determine the cost of your treatment is to book an evaluation with one of our dentists to determine your own treatment needs.
During your evaluation, our dentists discuss your oral health goals with you and gather information about your smile and dental health with an exam, x-rays, and photos of your teeth. After your evaluation, you'll clearly understand your treatment needs and options, what your timeline looks like for finishing, and the cost.
Payment Options for Every Budget in Hampton Park
We don't want finances to keep you from getting the dental care you need, so we offer several excellent options for payment or to help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.
- Preferred provider status with several private health funds, including Medibank, Bupa, HCF, NIB, CBHS
- Early access to superannuation funds for extensive dental treatment
- Relationships with third-party companies that can offer affordable monthly payment plans, like Humm, Afterpay, TLC
- Medicare Child Dental Benefit - Bulk billing
- HICAPS claims processing
Your Hampton Park dentist can help you navigate your payment options to ensure you can comfortably fit your dental treatment into your budget
