Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Everyone’s teeth are unique—factors like age, lifestyle, diet, and medications can all affect the appearance of your smile. A whitening product that works for one person may not work for you, and some store-bought options can even harm your gums.
- Tailored to Your Needs: During your consultation, we’ll discuss what concerns you about your teeth, what you hope to achieve, and your expectations. After a thorough exam, we’ll recommend the best whitening procedure for your specific goals and oral health.
- Performed by Experts: Our dentists are specially trained in teeth whitening techniques and products. They follow all safety protocols to ensure your protection throughout the procedure.
- Dramatic Improvement: We use prescription-strength bleaching solutions that contain the most effective whitening agents available, giving you a noticeably brighter smile.

When to whiten?
As our dentists will tell you, teeth whitening will not change the appearance of crowns, bridges, veneers and fillings. Therefore, we recommend whitening first when crowns, fillings or veneers will be needed in the not-too-distant future. Our dentists can then match the colour of later dental work to your whitened teeth.
Professional teeth whitening can remove stains and discoloration from the tooth surface and the area deep within.

Why Teeth Become Stained or Discolored
Surface Stains: Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in your body, but it’s also porous, meaning it can absorb substances that stain your teeth. Common causes of surface stains include:
- Dark-colored beverages like tea, coffee, wine, colas, and fruit juices.
- Dark sauces such as tomato and soy sauce.
- Sugary drinks and foods.
- Brightly colored fruits like berries, cherries, and pomegranates.
- Tobacco products.
- Poor nutrition and lack of proper oral hygiene can also contribute to surface staining.
Deep Stains:
Discoloration can also occur deeper inside the tooth, in the layer just beneath the enamel. This layer naturally appears yellow or gray. As we age, the enamel wears down, allowing the underlying color to show through, giving teeth a dull or dingy appearance. Additionally, certain medications, illnesses, and injuries can cause deep stains inside the tooth.
Top Teeth Whitening Options
Teeth whitening is a great way to brighten your smile without the need for more invasive treatments like veneers. Whether you choose professional in-office whitening or follow the instructions in your take-home kit, you can achieve noticeable results with minimal sensitivity.
Professional Whitening Treatment
For most people, in-office professional whitening provides the fastest and most effective results. 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 delivers immediate results and can help minimize risks of sensitivity and gum irritation.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kit
For those who prefer to whiten their teeth at home, we offer customized take-home whitening kits. These kits include personalized application trays that are molded to fit the natural contours of your teeth, ensuring even and complete whitening. Unlike over-the-counter products, our trays reduce the likelihood of tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. Over the course of three to four weeks, you’ll gradually achieve a brighter, healthier-looking smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Plaque forms when food and drink particles aren’t fully cleaned from your teeth. Over time, plaque hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dentist or hygienist. If you’re not brushing often or thoroughly enough, a yellow coating can build up on your teeth, leading to discoloration.
Teeth whitening is generally considered safe. However, you may experience some tooth sensitivity, especially after your first or second treatment. This sensitivity typically diminishes with time. It’s important to follow the instructions carefully with both professional treatments and over-the-counter products to ensure the best results and minimize risks.
Teeth whitening is typically not covered by insurance. To check if it’s covered under your plan, contact your insurance provider directly. We can provide an estimate for you to submit to them.
After whitening, try to avoid foods and drinks that can stain your teeth. These include dark beverages like tea, coffee, red wine, sodas, and fruit juices, as well as staining foods like tomato sauce, curry, soy sauce, chocolate, red meat, and all fruits except bananas.
The duration of teeth whitening results varies depending on the method used and how well you care for your teeth. Whitening can last anywhere from 6 months to up to 3 years, depending on your diet and oral hygiene habits.
