How we whiten smiles the Plaza Dental way
Teeth whitening is a simple, effective way to refresh your smile by lifting stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, or natural ageing. At Plaza Dental, we offer both in-chair and take-home whitening options, so you can choose what best suits your lifestyle. Whether you want fast results before a special event or prefer a gradual approach at home, each treatment is personalised and monitored to ensure safe, natural-looking results that leave you smiling brighter.
Brighter smiles, made for Mackay
If your smile’s lost a bit of its sparkle, teeth whitening might be the refresh you’ve been looking for. Whether you’re prepping for family photos, a special event, or simply want to feel a little more polished day to day, we offer whitening solutions that are safe, effective, and designed to suit busy lives here in Mackay.
Teeth whitening might be a great option for you if you:
- Have healthy teeth and gums but notice dullness or surface stains
- Want a professional way to brighten your smile without harsh products
- Prefer personalised care that fits your schedule and comfort level
- Are choosing between a fast in-chair boost or a flexible take-home kit
- Would like a gentle refresh before an event or milestone
- Value the guidance of a team who truly understands your smile
At Plaza Dental, we keep things simple, supportive, and tailored to your goals. We’ll walk you through your options, check that whitening is the right fit for your teeth, and help you achieve results that feel fresh, natural, and right for you.
From first chat to bright smile
We keep the process simple, comfortable, and focused on you.
Getting to know you and your smile
We will start by having a friendly chat about what you hope to achieve with whitening. We will also check that your teeth and gums are healthy and that whitening is the right option for you.
Choosing your whitening style
We will explain the difference between in-chair and take-home whitening. Whether you want immediate results or prefer a gradual change, we will help you choose the option that fits your lifestyle.
In-chair whitening
For those after faster results, we apply a professional-strength whitening gel and activate it under specialised light. The process usually takes about an hour, and you will walk out with noticeably brighter teeth.
Take-home whitening
If you prefer flexibility, we will create custom-fitted trays for you to use at home. You will receive clear instructions and professional-grade whitening gel to achieve your desired result gradually and comfortably over 1–2 weeks.
Keeping your smile bright
After your whitening is complete, we will give you practical advice on maintaining your new smile. We will also check in on your results during your future dental visits.
Teeth whitening should feel like a simple, positive experience, and we will make sure it does.

Frequently asked questions
Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients may notice temporary sensitivity during or after whitening, but it usually settles quickly. We use gentle, professional products and can recommend ways to minimise sensitivity, such as using sensitive toothpaste or adjusting the treatment time.
How white will my teeth get?
This depends on your natural tooth colour and the type of stains present. Some patients notice a difference of several shades, while others achieve a more subtle improvement. During your consultation, we will give you a realistic idea of the kind of results you can expect.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
With good care, whitening results can last for many months or even years. Factors like diet, oral hygiene, and regular dental cleanings all play a role. Some patients choose to refresh their whitening every so often to maintain the brightness, and we are always happy to guide you on how to do this safely.
