Do you want a radiant, brighter smile? Teeth whitening is a fast, straight-forward, safe, non-invasive way to get rid of unwanted stains that build up on your teeth over time. Due to food and bacterial stains teeth may lose their whiteness over time.
There are two main methods used for whitening your smile. The customized take-home teeth whitening system solution can be prescribed by your dentist to be used at your convenience. However, more commonly, an in-office teeth whitening system is used to whiten your teeth and revive their former shine.
Obtaining a whiter smile is a popular dental aesthetic concern for many individuals. White teeth help enhance the beauty of your smile. Your teeth may benefit from a professional tooth whitening if they are discoloured. Your teeth may be discoloured due to normal discolouration over time, excess wear and tear of the outer layer of your teeth or because they have been stained by medications such as tetracycline.
Teeth whitening will only work on natural tooth enamel. Therefore, it is crucial to professionally evaluate any old fillings or crowns to find solutions that ensure they will match the shade of your newly whitened teeth.
During your appointment, your teeth will first be evaluated to ensure that your teeth and gums are healthy. If additional oral hygiene steps are required before the tooth whitening, you will be directed by the dentist on the best ways to improve your teeth and gum health.
During the whitening procedure, your gums will be blocked away to protect these sensitive areas from the whitening gel. The bleaching solution will then be applied to your teeth and left on the enamel for a certain amount of time. It will then be removed and fresh gel may be reapplied two to three more times.
We use the safest, pain-free and longest lasting whitening gels available. You can expect to see marked differences in your teeth for up to two years, but you may require touch-ups every several months or once a year. Keep in mind that drinking wine, smoking tobacco, and consuming coffee can increase the speed of discolouration of your teeth.
Whether you opt for an in-office or a take-home tooth whitening package, rest assured that we will provide you with the best solution for your teeth. While you may experience mild and transient tooth sensitivity, teeth whitening packages prescribed by a certified dentist will be safe to use when applied correctly.
