Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Everyone’s teeth are unique, with factors like age, lifestyle, diet, and medications influencing their appearance. What works for one person may not be effective for another, and some store-bought products can even harm your gums. Professional whitening ensures a tailored approach that’s both safe and effective.
Our professional teeth-whitening gives you these distinct advantages over off-the-shelf products:
- Based on Your Needs: When you come see us for teeth whitening, we find out what troubles you about the appearance of your teeth, what you hope to achieve from the procedure and your expectations. Then, after thoroughly examining your teeth and gums, we recommend the best whitening procedure for you based on the results you’d like and your oral health.
- Performed by Experts: Our dentists are specifically trained in teeth whitening products and techniques. They know exactly how to perform the procedure and follow all safety protocols during it for your protection.
- Dramatic Improvement: We use a prescription-strength bleaching solution to whiten your teeth. This solution contains the most powerful whitening agents on the market.
- Immediate Results: Only professional teeth whitening yields exceptional results in as little as one hour.
- Even Whitening: Over-the-counter whitening products are notorious for uneven whitening. This is especially true of whitening strips which fail to cover the entire tooth. Rest assured our dentists know exactly how to perform the procedure for whitening all contours and angles of your teeth.
- Increased Comfort: Our whitening process includes the use of a laser to minimize any chance of sensitivity and gum irritation.
But only a qualified dentist can evaluate the safest, most effective whitening procedure for you. Give us a call!

When to Whiten?
Teeth whitening won’t alter the colour of crowns, bridges, veneers, or fillings. That’s why we recommend whitening before any upcoming dental work. This way, our dentists can match the shade of your new restorations to your brightened teeth. Professional whitening effectively removes both surface stains and deeper discolouration for a refreshed, radiant smile.

Why Do Teeth Become Stained or Discoloured?
Surface Stains: Our teeth are protected by a layer of enamel, which is the hardest substance in your body. However, enamel is also porous, with tiny holes that absorb substances that can stain your teeth, such as:
- Dark-coloured beverages like tea, coffee, wine, colas, and fruit juices.
- Dark-coloured sauces like tomato and soy sauce.
- Sugary beverages and foods.
- Brightly coloured fruits like berries, cherries, and pomegranates.
- Tobacco products.
- Poor nutrition and oral hygiene can also lead to tooth discolouration.
Deep Stains: Discolouration can also occur in the inner layer of the tooth, just beneath the enamel. This layer has a natural yellow or grey hue. As we age, the enamel wears down, revealing this underlying colour and giving teeth a dull appearance. Medications, illness, and injury can also cause discolouration in this deeper layer of the teeth.
Top Teeth Whitening Options
Teeth whitening is a great way to brighten your natural smile without more invasive procedures like veneers. Whether done at our office or through one of our take-home kits, teeth whitening provides noticeable results without lasting sensitivity.
Professional Whitening Treatment
For most, an in-office whitening session is the most effective option. During treatment, a bleaching solution is applied to the teeth using custom trays. Once in place, a laser gently heats the solution, activating oxygen molecules to penetrate the enamel and lift stains. This method provides immediate results and can also help minimize sensitivity and gum irritation.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kit
If you prefer at-home whitening, we offer personalized kits designed for comfort and effectiveness. Our kits include custom-fitted trays that contour to your teeth for even whitening. Unlike over-the-counter options, our trays are made from molds of your teeth, reducing the risk of sensitivity and gum irritation. The kit gradually lightens enamel over three to four weeks, providing safe and consistent results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Plaque forms when bacteria from food and drink particles aren’t properly cleaned from your teeth. Over time, plaque hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dentist or hygienist. This yellow layer can develop if brushing isn’t frequent or thorough enough.
Teeth whitening is generally safe, but you may experience temporary sensitivity, especially during the first couple of treatments. Following the instructions for your take-home kit or over-the-counter products carefully is key to minimizing discomfort.
Crowns, veneers, and fillings on your front teeth won’t change colour with whitening treatments. Whitening the natural teeth around them may cause these restorations to stand out.
Teeth whitening is often not covered by insurance. Contact your insurance provider to confirm your coverage, and we can provide an estimate for you to submit to them.
After whitening, avoid any foods or drinks that can stain a white shirt. Dark beverages like tea, coffee, red wine, coloured soft drinks, and fruit juices, as well as foods like tomato sauce, curry, soy sauce, red meat, chocolate, and most fruits except bananas, should be minimized.
The results of teeth whitening can last anywhere from 6 months to 3 years, depending on the method used and how well you maintain your teeth.
