Instantly Brighten Your Smile Safely and Effectively
Tired of over-the-counter whitening strips that promise the world but deliver sensitive teeth and zero results? At Westlake Dental, we provide professional, dentist-supervised teeth whitening that safely lifts years of stains from coffee, tea, and age, giving you a noticeably brighter smile in a single visit.
Are Stained Teeth Making You Look Older?
Your teeth are porous. Over the years, everything you eat and drink — especially coffee, tea, red wine, and dark berries — seeps into the enamel, leaving behind stubborn, yellow stains.
You have probably tried whitening toothpastes or cheap supermarket strips. Most of the time, they do not work because the bleaching agent is not strong enough to penetrate deep into the tooth. Worse, ill-fitting strips or cheap online kits can severely irritate your gums and leave your teeth painfully sensitive to hot and cold.
A dull, yellowed smile can make you look older than you are and make you hesitant to smile in photos or during important meetings. You want a bright, fresh smile, but you want it done safely.
Professional Strength Whitening, Supervised by a Dentist
Professional teeth whitening at Westlake Dental is the safest, fastest, and most effective way to transform your smile.
Because our whitening treatments are administered and supervised by Dr Gilbert, we are legally able to use professional-strength whitening gels that are significantly more powerful than anything you can buy over the counter.
We offer two tailored options to suit your lifestyle and budget:
- In-Chair Whitening: Fast, dramatic results in just one appointment. Perfect if you have a wedding or event coming up quickly.
- Take-Home Whitening Kits: Custom-made trays and professional gel that you use at home to gradually whiten your teeth over a couple of weeks.
Why You Need a Dentist for Whitening
Whitening is a chemical process. It should not be done in a shopping centre kiosk or a beauty salon.
Pre-Whitening Assessment
Before we apply any bleach, Dr Gilbert examines your teeth to ensure your enamel is healthy and you have no untreated cavities or gum disease. Whitening over active decay can cause severe pain and permanent damage.
Gum Protection
During in-chair whitening, we carefully isolate and protect your gums with a special barrier to prevent chemical burns — a crucial step often skipped in non-dental settings.
Custom-Fitted Trays
For our take-home kits, we take precise impressions to create trays that fit your teeth perfectly. This ensures the whitening gel stays on your teeth and off your gums.
Managing Sensitivity
We use advanced formulations that include desensitising agents to keep you comfortable during and after your treatment.
The Benefits of a Brighter Smile
Immediate Confidence Boost
A white, bright smile is universally associated with youth, health, and vitality. It is the quickest way to upgrade your entire appearance.
Safe for Your Enamel
Unlike abrasive whitening toothpastes that physically scratch away stains (and your enamel), our professional gels safely break down the stain molecules from the inside out without damaging the tooth structure.
Customised to Your Goals
Whether you want a subtle refresh or a dazzling, bright white smile, we tailor the concentration of the gel and the duration of the treatment to achieve your specific goal.
Long-Lasting Results
With good oral hygiene and occasional at-home touch-ups, the results of professional whitening can last for years.
Start With a Free Whitening Assessment
Not everyone is a suitable candidate for teeth whitening. For example, whitening gel will not change the colour of existing fillings, crowns, or veneers.
We offer a Free Cosmetic Consultation with Dr Gilbert to determine if whitening is right for you. During this brief visit, we will:
- Assess the cause of your tooth discolouration
- Check for any underlying dental issues that need to be addressed first
- Recommend the best whitening option (In-Chair or Take-Home) for your specific needs
- Provide a clear, upfront quote
Getting Ready for a Big Event?
Teeth whitening is our most popular cosmetic treatment, especially leading up to wedding season, school formals, and the holidays. If you need a bright smile for a specific date, do not leave it to the last minute. In-chair whitening appointments require dedicated clinical time, and custom take-home trays take a few days to fabricate. Book early to ensure your smile is ready.
The Westlake Promise
We respect your investment in your smile.
Honest Expectations
We will show you a shade guide before we start so you have a realistic expectation of how many shades lighter your teeth can safely go.
No Pressure
We will clearly explain the difference in cost and results between our in-chair and take-home options, letting you choose what fits your budget.
Ongoing Support
Practice Manager Shaleen and our team will provide you with clear aftercare instructions to help maintain your bright new smile.

The Danger of Non-Dental Whitening
In Australia, only registered dental practitioners are legally permitted to use high-concentration whitening gels.
Beauty salons and mall kiosks use very weak gels (which yield poor results) or illegally use stronger gels without the necessary training to protect your teeth and gums. Without a proper dental exam first, applying any bleaching agent to a tooth with a hidden cavity can cause excruciating pain and necessitate a root canal.
Always trust a qualified dentist with your teeth.
P.S. Did you know that professional teeth cleaning (scaling and polishing) is the best first step to a whiter smile? Often, removing the hardened plaque and surface stains makes a dramatic difference before we even apply the whitening gel. Ask us about combining your regular check-up with a whitening treatment!
