At our Rockhampton practice, we use a non-invasive, at-home teeth whitening system that uses a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide to gently remove surface stains from your teeth. Our team finds that this method is effective for most patients, but results may vary depending on the level of staining and individual tooth sensitivity. We'll provide you with custom-fitted trays and instructions on how to use them.
