Custom Teeth-Whitening Kits
If your teeth look dull, yellow or stained, professional whitening can help brighten your smile.
Dentistry on Coolum provides custom take-home teeth whitening for patients across the Sunshine Coast using NOVON White Dental Beauty. Your whitening trays are made specifically for your teeth, giving you a convenient way to whiten at home with professional dental guidance.
We also offer a milder NOVON whitening option for suitable patients who are concerned about sensitivity.
Want a Brighter Smile Without Over-the-Counter Whitening?
Coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, ageing and some medications can gradually change the colour of your teeth.
Professional whitening gives you more control than generic strips or one-size-fits-all trays. Before treatment begins, our team checks your teeth, creates trays to fit your smile and provides the NOVON whitening gel and instructions you need to whiten at home.
If you are unsure whether whitening will work for your teeth, start with an assessment at our Coolum Beach clinic.
Professional NOVON Teeth Whitening From Home
Dentistry on Coolum uses NOVON White Dental Beauty for our take-home whitening treatments.
NOVON allows you to whiten your teeth at home using professionally supplied whitening gel and custom-made trays. For many patients, this provides a convenient alternative to spending a longer appointment whitening in the dental chair.
Your whitening treatment includes:
- Custom-Made Trays: Created specifically to fit your teeth.
- NOVON Whitening Gel: Professional whitening products supplied through our dental team.
- Clear At-Home Instructions: We show you how and when to use your trays.
- Reusable Whitening Trays: Keep your trays for future touch-ups where suitable.
- Sensitivity Support: A milder NOVON option and additional products may be recommended where required.
Many patients complete their initial whitening treatment over around one to two weeks, although treatment time depends on the type and extent of staining.
Custom Whitening Trays Made for Your Teeth
The fit of your whitening trays matters.
We take accurate impressions of your teeth so your trays sit closely around your smile. A secure fit helps distribute whitening gel consistently and limits unnecessary contact with the surrounding gums.
At your fitting appointment, our team checks the trays before you begin treatment and explains how much gel to use and how long to wear them.
Once you have your trays, you can keep them for future whitening touch-ups rather than starting again with a new set each time.
Sensitive Teeth? Ask About NOVON Mild
Sensitivity does not always mean you need to rule out teeth whitening.
Dentistry on Coolum offers NOVON White Dental Beauty Mild for suitable patients who are more prone to sensitivity. The Mild formula contains 5% Carbamide Peroxide and is intended to provide a gentler whitening option.
We may also recommend GC Tooth Mousse as part of your whitening treatment where appropriate. It can provide extra support for patients who experience sensitivity while whitening.
Before you start, we will also check for existing sensitivity, decay or gum concerns that may need attention first.

Why choose Dentistry on Coolum for teeth whitening?
Dentistry on Coolum provides professionally guided take-home whitening using custom trays made to fit your teeth and NOVON White Dental Beauty products.
Our team can assess your teeth before treatment, recommend options for sensitive teeth where suitable and provide clear instructions for whitening at home. With more than 20 years supporting the Coolum community, you also have a local dental team available if you need advice during treatment.
Does professional teeth whitening actually work?
Yes. Professional teeth whitening can lighten many common forms of tooth staining and discolouration.
Results depend on your natural tooth colour, the cause of the staining and how your teeth respond to treatment. Surface stains from food and drinks often respond differently from deeper discolouration caused by medication or dental trauma.
Our team can assess your teeth and give you a more realistic idea of what whitening may achieve.

Why do my teeth look more yellow or stained than before?
Teeth can gradually become darker due to coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, ageing and some medications.
As enamel naturally becomes thinner with age, more of the yellow dentine beneath it can also become visible. Plaque and tartar may make teeth appear darker as well.
A dental assessment can help identify the likely cause before you start whitening.
Does teeth whitening damage your enamel?
Whitening products should be used according to professional instructions and only after checking that your teeth and gums are suitable for treatment.
Problems can occur when unsuitable products are used incorrectly, overused or applied to teeth with existing dental concerns.
Dentistry on Coolum checks your oral health before whitening and provides clear instructions for using your NOVON treatment at home.

Can teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Yes. Temporary tooth sensitivity can occur during whitening.
Dentistry on Coolum offers NOVON White Dental Beauty Mild for suitable patients who are more prone to sensitivity. We may also recommend GC Tooth Mousse where appropriate.
If you already have sensitive teeth, let our team know before beginning treatment so we can discuss the most suitable approach.

How long does at-home teeth whitening take?
Many patients whiten their teeth over around one to two weeks.
Treatment time varies depending on your starting shade, the type of staining and the whitening product recommended for you. More significant or deeper staining can take longer.
We will explain how often to use your NOVON trays before you start.
How white will my teeth get?
Every smile responds differently to whitening.
Your natural tooth colour, staining and previous dental work all affect the final result. The goal is to brighten your natural teeth rather than promise a specific shade.
Your dentist can give you a better idea of what may be achievable after examining your teeth.
Is professional whitening better than supermarket whitening kits?
Dentist-guided whitening gives you several benefits that generic whitening products may not provide.
Your teeth are assessed before treatment, your trays are made specifically for your smile and you receive professional whitening products with clear instructions.
You also have access to our dental team if you experience sensitivity or have questions during treatment.
Can I whiten crowns, veneers or fillings?
Whitening gel changes the colour of natural tooth enamel. It does not whiten crowns, veneers or tooth-coloured fillings in the same way.
If you have visible restorations, we can assess how whitening may affect the overall colour of your smile before you begin.
Should I have my teeth cleaned before whitening?
Sometimes.
Plaque, tartar and surface staining can affect the appearance of your teeth and may interfere with whitening. If required, we may recommend a professional clean before you start.
This also gives us an opportunity to check that your teeth and gums are healthy before whitening treatment begins.
Can I buy NOVON whitening gel if I already have trays?
If you already have professionally made whitening trays, speak with Dentistry on Coolum about purchasing NOVON White Dental Beauty gel.
Our team can check whether your existing trays are appropriate and explain the whitening products available.
