Adam Alford Dentistry utilises Zoom White Speed Teeth Whitening at our practices in, Toowong, Paddington and North Lakes.
Dr Adam Alford has always believed that teeth whitening is a service we provide at cost to our patients. The Zoom White Speed teeth whitening system is the safest and most affordable on the market.

We offer the newest Zoom Whitening System (‘In Office’) system. Zoom Whitening is a concentrated teeth whitening system which is applied directly to the tooth surface which is then activated by a unique light. The whitening results are achieved at an accelerated rate.
As a supplement to this procedure, we like to make the ‘At Home’ kit for you as well. By using the ‘At Home’ kit for a few days post ‘Zoom’, the colour is stabilised and you have less of a “fade back” in the shade. We will show you how to use your custom made kit at home, this will allow you to maintain your white teeth indefinitely.
The price for this treatment is $680.
At home teeth whitening is an alternative that uses custom made upper and lower trays (imagine a mouthguard which is only a millimetre thick and clear) which are used to administer professional strength whitening gel at home. This teeth whitening method is more gradual, eventually achieving the same result as the in office whitening system (approximately 2-3 weeks but this time frame can vary).
The price for at home teeth whitening is $350.
The active ingredient used in teeth whitening is Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). The oxygen element penetrates the teeth and oxidises the stains and pigments within their structure. The basic chemical action involves the long chain colour molecules to break down into shorter chains therefore changing the optical appearance of the molecules, which in turn makes the teeth appear lighter in colour. The shade of the teeth is improved, without altering the structure.
Clinical studies have indicated that, under the supervision of a dental health professional, Teeth Whitening with Hydrogen Peroxide is safe for teeth and gums, with no long term side effects. Research indicates that there is no increase in the need for any dental treatment as a result of Teeth Whitening.
Patients will get the best teeth whitening result if teeth are professionally clean and free of decay or infection first. Imagine trying to paint a wall without removing flaking wall paper or dust first? A professional clean will remove plaque/tea and coffee stains to allow a smooth slate for great tooth whitening results.
These won’t change colour, in fact when patients whiten their teeth, it’s likely these restorations will stand out even more. However, we usually recommend to patients, if you are considering replacing these, to whiten first, then replace these fillings to match the final result.
Patients try and whiten teeth at least a week or two before the event. This will help to ensure that the final shade has settled and if additional “top up” whitening is required, this can be arranged before your event.
It is unlawful in Australia to carry out dental procedures if you are not a registered dentist.
Patients who are considering teeth whitening, should choose a dental professional who will be accountable for their care and is trained to safely and effectively whiten teeth using professional whitening products and hospital grade sterilized instruments.
