Are you wondering how to achieve a brighter smile without the discomfort of traditional teeth whitening methods that use high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide? Valley Dental has the solution – PAP+ teeth whitening.
PAP+ teeth whitening is a safe alternative that effectively brightens your teeth without the use of hydrogen peroxide, ensuring the health of your teeth remains intact. The best part? You'll experience almost no sensitivity, unlike traditional methods that can lead to uncomfortable "zingers" after treatment.
At Valley Dental, we prioritise your safety. Our approach combines the power of gentle and effective ingredients like PAP+ (phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid), hydrogen peroxide, and carbamide peroxide to target tooth stains, leaving you with a lighter and noticeably whiter smile. Say goodbye to teeth discolouration and hello to a pearly white smile!
Opting for PAP+ teeth whitening ensures long-lasting results, setting it apart from traditional teeth whitening, which can frequently lead to post-treatment tooth dehydration, resulting in a temporary illusion that diminishes within a few days.
Experience professional teeth whitening
We believe that a bright, fresh smile should be accessible to everyone. That's why we offer complimentary teeth whitening consultations to get you started on your journey towards a whiter smile. Following your consultation, we conduct a comprehensive check-up and clean to remove any debris, plaque, or surface stains from your teeth, ensuring they are in optimal condition for the whitening treatment. You can’t paint a wall before you’ve cleaned it first. The same goes for your teeth.
If you opt for at-home teeth whitening, we'll take precise moulds of your teeth to create custom-fitted whitening trays for an easy and comfortable experience. For in-chair teeth whitening, we will perform a professional and safe whitening session in the comfort of our dental clinic with on-ceiling entertainment provided for your viewing pleasure.
PAP+ Teeth whitening is a four-step process:
One: Phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid (PAP) penetrates the enamel layer, disassembling colour-holding molecules.
Two: Hydroxyapatite replenishes minerals lost from your teeth.
Three: Potassium citrate diminishes dental sensory nerve activity.
Four: The treatment is gentle on your gum tissue, meaning it won’t be affected.

When it comes to brightening your smile, we offer a few different types of teeth whitening allowing you to choose which option works best for you and your lifestyle.
types of teeth whitening
At home teeth whitening
If you prefer the comfort and convenience of whitening your teeth from your own home, our take home teeth whitening kits are for you. With this at home teeth whitening, we will provide custom-made trays that perfectly fit your teeth. You will also receive professional-grade whitening gel to apply to the trays. Simply wear the trays for a specified amount of time each day as recommended. Over a period of a few weeks, you will notice gradual results as the whitening gel works to eliminate stains and discolouration.
In-Chair teeth whitening
In-chair teeth whitening is performed at our dental clinic and is the safest and fastest way to brighten your teeth. If you’re after instant results, in-chair teeth whitening will not disappoint. The process usually takes 1-2 hours and involves a powerful whitening gel that is carefully applied to your teeth. The gel is then activated using a special light which helps break down stubborn stains and discolouration on the tooth surface.
teeth whitening strips
Teeth whitening strips provide the convenience of gradually whitening your teeth whenever and wherever you like. Simply apply the whitening strip to your teeth and leave for 15 minutes. Depending on the results you are after, we will recommend how often you should be using the whitening strips.
teeth whitening FAQ
-
The price of a teeth whitening procedure will vary based on whether you opt for an in-chair treatment or a kit for whitening at home. At Valley Dental, in-chair teeth whitening costs $699, and at-home teeth whitening kits cost $399.
-
We’re not going to lie; teeth whitening is generally considered a very safe procedure if managed by a professional; however, there can be some side effects, including:
Tooth Sensitivity
White spots on teeth
Gingival burns
If the teeth whitening procedure is done correctly, all of these risk factors can be minimised and controlled in a very safe and pain-free manner.
However, with the new PAP+ system exclusively provided by Hismile, sensitivity will not be an issue.
-
In-chair teeth whitening procedures performed by your Valley Dental team can provide immediate results that can last anywhere from 12 months to 5 years, depending on factors such as diet, oral hygiene habits, and lifestyle choices, i.e. smoking, dental visits etc.
Take-home teeth whitening kits provide more gradual results over several weeks. The longevity of the results can also vary, but generally, they last anywhere from a few months to a few years. It is easy to maintain colour with take-home teeth whitening kits as you can use them anytime as long as the trays are fitting.
-
Teeth whitening is generally considered to be safe when performed by a qualified dentist and when using products approved by the TGA. Some people may experience temporary side effects such as tooth sensitivity, gum irritation, or white spots on the teeth. These side effects usually resolve on their own or are managed by the dentist. They can often be minimised by following the instructions provided by your Valley Dental team or changing the concentration of the whitening agent.
-
The length of time, before you see results with teeth whitening, varies depending on the option you choose. In-chair whitening is a fast and effective solution that can provide noticeable results after just one session (90 minutes). However, at-home whitening requires regular usage over several days to weeks to achieve the desired outcome.
Who doesn’t want whiter teeth? With PAP+, you'll experience clinically proven instant whitening results. What sets it apart? It's peroxide-free, eliminating the risk of harmful free radicals and the potential side effects they bring. Unlike traditional methods, PAP+ teeth whitening won't compromise the health of your teeth, safeguarding you from damage, sensitivity, or discomfort. Unlock the power of teeth whitening and reveal a whiter smile that leaves you beaming with confidence.

Book A Teeth whitening Appointment
Teeth whitening is designed to tackle even the most stubborn stains, whether they're from smoking, dietary habits, or the natural effects of aging. However, it may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with dental conditions or sensitivities. We encourage you to take the first step by consulting with us before using any teeth whitening products.
When To Consider Teeth Whitening
Suitable for teeth whitening
Ideal candidates for teeth whitening typically have a solid foundation of good oral health, including healthy gums and teeth. They maintain regular dental check-ups and follow proper oral hygiene practices. However, despite their oral health, they may still experience certain stains or discolouration on their teeth
not suitable for teeth whitening
Patients not suitable for teeth whitening include those under 16 years old, nursing mothers and pregnant women, and certain patients with previous dental restorative treatment such as crowns or veneers, as these materials do not respond to whitening agents. Patients with gum disease, cavities or decay may need to focus on their oral health before considering teeth whitening. Teeth whitening is purely cosmetic.
