How It Works
The process is straightforward and comfortable:
- A protective barrier is applied to your gums
- Professional-grade whitening gel is applied to your teeth
- LED light activates the gel for 20 minutes per session
- Gel is removed and results are assessed
You choose how many sessions you’d like in a single appointment — depending on how much whitening you’re after:
- 1 session (20 min): may lighten teeth by 2–4 shades
- 2 sessions (40 min): may lighten teeth by 4–6 shades
- 3 sessions (60 min): may lighten teeth by 6–8 shades
Results vary depending on enamel condition, lifestyle, and starting shade.
Is cosmetic teeth whitening safe?
Yes. Our whitening gel is within the legally permitted concentration for cosmetic use in Australia and is applied by trained professionals.
Does teeth whitening hurt?
Most clients experience no discomfort at all. Some may notice mild, temporary sensitivity that usually resolves within 24 hours.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
Results can last 6–12 months depending on diet and lifestyle. Coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking can accelerate staining.

Teeth Whitening at Equinox vs Dental Clinics
One of the first things people ask us is: “How does this compare to getting it done at the dentist?” Here’s a straightforward comparison:| Equinox (Cosmetic) | Dental Clinic (Zoom/In-Chair) | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | From $99 | $400–$800+ |
| Sessions | 1–3 (20 min each) | Usually 1 (45–90 min) |
| Technology | LED + professional gel | Zoom/LED + clinical-grade gel |
| Referral needed? | No | Dental consult required |

How much does teeth whitening cost in Perth?
At Equinox in Belmont, professional cosmetic teeth whitening starts from $99 for a single session. Two sessions are $149 and three sessions are $200. Dental clinic whitening in Perth typically costs $400–$800+.
Is teeth whitening suitable for everyone?
Whitening works best on natural teeth. It may not change the colour of crowns, veneers, or fillings. Not recommended during pregnancy or for those under 16.
How many shades whiter will my teeth get?
Results vary, but clients typically see 2–4 shades from one session, 4–6 from two sessions, and 6–8 from three sessions.
Do I need a dentist referral for cosmetic teeth whitening?
No. Our cosmetic whitening is not a dental procedure and does not require a referral. If you have dental concerns, we recommend seeing your dentist first.
Can I eat and drink after teeth whitening?
Avoid heavily pigmented food and drink (coffee, red wine, curry) for 24–48 hours after treatment for best results.

What’s the difference between cosmetic and dental teeth whitening?
Cosmetic whitening uses a lower-concentration gel suited to surface stains and general brightening. Dental whitening uses higher-concentration products under clinical supervision for deeper discolouration. Both can be effective — the right choice depends on your needs and budget.
Will whitening damage my enamel?
No. Professional whitening products used at recommended concentrations are safe for tooth enamel. We don’t use abrasive methods.
Can I whiten my teeth if I have sensitive teeth?
In most cases, yes. Our treatment is designed for minimal sensitivity. If you’re concerned, starting with a single session is a good way to see how your teeth respond.
How often can I get my teeth whitened?
We recommend waiting at least 3–6 months between treatments. Many clients book a maintenance session every 6–12 months to keep things looking fresh.
What should I do before my appointment?
Brush and floss as normal. Avoid eating immediately before your appointment. No other special preparation needed — just show up and relax.
