If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wished your teeth were just a few shades whiter, you’re not alone. Teeth whitening is one of the most requested cosmetic dental treatments, and it’s easy to see why — a brighter smile can enhance your confidence, boost your appearance, and even make you look more youthful.
At Bastow and Chye Complete Dental, we use Philips Zoom Whitening, a trusted, scientifically backed whitening system that’s safe, effective, and tailored to your lifestyle. We offer two options: Zoom In-Chair Whitening and Zoom Take-Home Kits. Both are professional-grade and far more effective than over-the-counter alternatives.
Let’s explore the differences, benefits, and what you can expect from each.
- Zoom In-Chair Whitening – $750
Our most powerful whitening option, Zoom In-Chair Whitening is performed in the clinic under the care of our trained team. It’s the fastest way to achieve dramatic results — up to 8 shades whiter in just one visit.
How it works:
- Your gums and lips are carefully protected.
- A high-strength whitening gel is applied to your teeth.
- A Zoom LED light is used to activate and accelerate the whitening process in three to four 15-minute sessions.
- The procedure takes approximately 90 minutes.
- PLUS – A bonus take-home whitening kit with custom trays and Zoom gel to maintain or “top up” your results down the track — at no extra cost!
Why choose In-Chair Whitening?
- ✅ Instant Results: See a noticeable difference in one appointment.
- ✅ Great for Busy Schedules: No need to remember to wear trays every day.
- ✅ Ideal for Events: Perfect before weddings, holidays, photoshoots or big work presentations.
- ✅ Safe & Monitored: We tailor the treatment and monitor for sensitivity throughout.
What to Expect After:
Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity, which usually settles within 24–48 hours. We’ll provide post-treatment advice, including a list of “white-friendly” foods to enjoy while avoiding staining beverages like red wine, tea, and coffee for the first few days.
- Zoom Take-Home Whitening Kit – $350
For patients who prefer to whiten their teeth gradually or in their own time, our take-home kits offer a professional and more affordable alternative.
What’s included:
- A short appointment to take impressions of your teeth.
- Custom-made trays that fit perfectly and comfortably.
- A supply of Zoom DayWhite (for daytime wear) or Zoom NiteWhite (for overnight use), depending on your preference.
- Easy-to-follow instructions and support from our team.
Why choose Take-Home Whitening?
- ✅ Budget-Friendly: A more affordable way to achieve professional results.
- ✅ Custom Comfort: Trays are designed to fit your teeth precisely, unlike store-bought kits.
- ✅ Whiten on Your Schedule: Use daily for 1–2 weeks until desired shade is achieved.
- ✅ Safe & Gentle: Contains ingredients like ACP (Amorphous Calcium Phosphate), potassium nitrate and fluoride to strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity.
What to Expect:
Whitening is gradual and results appear within a few days, with full results in about two weeks. You can touch up your smile as needed in the future with extra gel refills, which we’re happy to provide.
Zoom Whitening: What Makes It Different?
Philips Zoom is not just any whitening system — it’s backed by decades of research and used by over 10 million people worldwide. What makes it superior?
- Professional-strength formulas not available over the counter.
- Advanced LED activation for faster and more consistent results.
- Enamel protection and sensitivity relief built into every treatment.
- Clinically proven results in both in-chair and take-home systems.
Teeth Whitening FAQs
Q: Is teeth whitening safe?
A: Yes! When performed under professional supervision, whitening is safe for your teeth and gums. We’ll assess your oral health first to ensure it’s the right choice for you.
Q: Will whitening damage my enamel?
A: No. Zoom Whitening is formulated with protective ingredients to support enamel health while whitening effectively.

A: With good oral hygiene and occasional top-ups, results can last from several months to a few years. Avoiding staining foods and drinks helps prolong your results.
