In-Chair Teeth Whitening (Philips Zoom! WhiteSpeed)
Whiten Your Smile by Up to 8 Shades in Just One Visit
If you’re looking for a safe, fast, and dramatically effective way to whiten your smile, our Philips Zoom! WhiteSpeed in-chair teeth whitening treatment can whiten your teeth by up to eight shades in a single appointment. Available at both our Capalaba and Cleveland dental clinics in the Redlands, this teeth whitening treatment is ideal for young adults, older adults, and families wanting a noticeably whiter smile — instantly.
What Is In-Chair Teeth Whitening?
In-chair whitening is a professional treatment carried out by our dental team. A powerful whitening gel is applied to your teeth and activated using a specialised LED light. The combination of gel and light accelerates stain removal, resulting in a dramatically brighter smile in just one visit.
This treatment is ideal for removing common stains caused by:
-
Coffee, tea, and red wine
-
Smoking
-
Age-related discolouration
-
Certain medications
-
Surface and deep staining
It’s ideal for patients wanting instant results, while our take-home kits remain a great option for gradual whitening at your own pace.
Prefer a more gradual option? We also offer take-home teeth whitening kits from our Capalaba and Cleveland clinics.
What to Expect During Philips Zoom! In-Chair Teeth Whitening
Philips Zoom! WhiteSpeed is designed to deliver fast, effective and comfortable teeth whitening under the care of our dentists. Whether you visit our Capalaba or Cleveland clinic in the Redlands, here’s what typically happens during your in-chair whitening appointment:
1. Dental Assessment
Your visit starts with a short examination to check that your teeth and gums are healthy and suitable for whitening. Our Capalaba and Cleveland dentists assess your current shade, discuss your whitening goals and make sure Philips Zoom! in-chair whitening is the right option for you.
2. Protection & Preparation
We carefully protect your lips and gums before the whitening gel is applied. For added comfort, a desensitising product such as Relief® ACP may be used to help reduce tooth sensitivity during and after treatment.
3. Application of Professional Whitening Gel
A dentist-only Philips Zoom! whitening gel is applied to the front surfaces of your teeth. Because the treatment is supervised in the dental chair, we can ensure the gel is placed precisely where it needs to be for safe, even whitening.
4. LED Light Activation
The Philips Zoom! WhiteSpeed blue LED light is then used to activate the gel and accelerate the whitening process. This helps to break down surface and deeper stains quickly and safely.
5. Multiple Whitening Cycles
The whitening gel is refreshed and activated over several short cycles, depending on your starting shade and desired result. Most patients complete their Philips Zoom! in-chair teeth whitening in a single visit.
6. Immediate, Visible Results
At the end of your appointment, you’ll leave our Capalaba or Cleveland dental clinic with a noticeably whiter smile. Many patients see a dramatic improvement in brightness and are given personalised advice on how to maintain their results at home.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does in-chair teeth whitening take?

Teeth Whitening Aftercare
How to Maintain Your Philips Zoom! Whitening Results
To protect your new, brighter smile after Philips Zoom! Whitening:
-
Avoid coffee, tea, red wine, berries and strongly coloured foods for 48 hours. After in-chair whitening, your enamel is more porous, making it easier for stains to redevelop. Sticking to “white foods” helps protect your results.
-
Brush twice daily and floss regularly to prevent new surface stains and keep your whitening results brighter for longer. Good oral hygiene is the most effective long-term whitening maintenance.
-
Use a desensitising toothpaste for 1–2 days if sensitivity occurs. This may occur after Philips Zoom! teeth whitening and usually settles quickly.
-
Maintain your results with a take-home whitening kit. Our Capalaba and Cleveland dentists can provide customised whitening trays to keep your smile bright between visits.
-
Book regular dental check-ups at our Capalaba or Cleveland dental clinic. Routine dental care helps prevent staining and supports longer-lasting whitening results for our patients.
