Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Everyone’s smile is unique—factors like age, lifestyle, diet, and medications can all affect the color and health of your teeth. Store-bought whitening products may not work for everyone and can even harm your gums.

    Professional teeth whitening offers a safer, more personalized approach with these distinct advantages:

  • Tailored to Your Needs: Professional teeth whitening begins with a thorough consultation. We address your concerns, discuss your goals, and assess your oral health to recommend the most effective treatment for your unique situation.

  • Comfort and Safety: Our process minimizes sensitivity and gum irritation by using advanced technology, including lasers, for enhanced comfort and protection.

When to Whiten?

Before undergoing dental work such as crowns, bridges, veneers, or fillings, it’s best to whiten your teeth first. Since whitening treatments don’t change the color of these restorations, brightening your natural teeth beforehand allows our dentists to match the shade of your new dental work to your newly whitened smile.

Professional teeth whitening effectively removes surface stains and deeper discoloration, giving you a brighter, more uniform smile. For the best results, consult with our team to time your whitening treatment perfectly with any planned dental procedures.

Why Do Teeth Become Stained or Discolored?

Teeth discoloration happens for two main reasons: surface stains and deeper, internal changes. Here’s a breakdown of how it occurs:

Surface Stains

Tooth enamel, the hardest substance in your body, protects your teeth but is porous, allowing it to absorb stain-causing substances. Common culprits include:

  • Dark-coloured beverages like coffee, tea, wine, colas, and fruit juices.
  • Dark sauces such as tomato and soy sauce.
  • Sugary foods and drinks that promote staining and decay.
  • Brightly colored fruits like berries, cherries, and pomegranates.
  • Tobacco products, which leave yellow or brown stains over time.

Poor nutrition and inadequate oral hygiene can also accelerate surface staining.

Deep Stains

Discoloration isn’t limited to the surface. The inner layer of your teeth, called dentin, is naturally yellow or gray. As enamel wears down with age, the dentin becomes more visible, causing teeth to appear dull. Other factors, such as medications, illnesses, or injuries, can alter the color of this inner layer.

Understanding the causes of stains can help you make better choices and explore effective solutions like professional teeth whitening to restore your smile.

Top Teeth Whitening Options

Teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile by lightening the natural color of your teeth without resorting to invasive procedures like veneers. Whether you choose an in-office treatment or a custom take-home kit, both options deliver noticeable results while minimizing the risk of lasting sensitivity.

Professional Whitening Treatment

In-office whitening is the most effective option for achieving dramatic results quickly. During the procedure, a bleaching solution is applied to your teeth using custom-designed trays. A laser is then used to gently heat the solution, activating oxygen molecules that penetrate the enamel to lift stains. This process provides immediate whitening while reducing the chances of sensitivity and gum irritation.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kits

For those who prefer the convenience of whitening at home, we offer custom-designed take-home kits. These kits include application trays moulded to fit your teeth perfectly, ensuring even whitening and reducing risks of sensitivity or gum irritation. Paired with professional-strength whitening gel, these kits gradually lighten your enamel over three to four weeks, providing consistent and effective results. Whether you’re looking for instant results or the flexibility to whiten on your schedule, we have a teeth whitening solution tailored to your needs. Contact us today to learn more or to book your appointment!

Frequently Asked Questions

Even with regular brushing, yellowing can occur due to plaque buildup. If food and drink particles aren’t properly cleaned, bacteria form plaque, which hardens into tartar over time. This yellowish tartar can only be removed by a dentist or hygienist. Brushing thoroughly and consistently is key to preventing this buildup.

Yes, teeth whitening is generally safe. However, you might experience temporary tooth sensitivity, especially after the first or second treatment. This usually diminishes over time. It’s essential to carefully follow the instructions provided with your professional or over-the-counter whitening products to ensure safe and effective results.

Teeth whitening doesn’t alter the color of crowns, veneers, or fillings. If these are on your front teeth, whitening surrounding teeth could make the dental work appear more noticeable. For a seamless look, consult your dentist for personalized advice.

Teeth whitening is typically considered a cosmetic procedure and isn’t often covered by insurance. To find out if your provider offers coverage, contact them directly. We’re happy to provide an estimate for submission.

After a whitening treatment, it’s best to avoid foods and drinks known for staining, like coffee, tea, red wine, fruit juices, tomato sauce, curry, soy sauce, red meat, and brightly colored fruits (except bananas).

The results of teeth whitening can last anywhere from six months to three years, depending on the type of treatment and how well you care for your teeth. Regular oral hygiene and avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks will help prolong the effects.
