If you have stained or discoloured teeth, you may be amazed at how quickly professional teeth whitening could transform the appearance of your smile.
Let Your Smile Shine
By removing surface stains and lightening the shade of your teeth, professional whitening services offer a safe and reliable solution for enhancing your smile.
The whitening agent consists of active ingredients such as hydrogen peroxide. When applied to the teeth, the solution helps break down surface stains, resulting in a whitening effect.
As with many treatments, there are some potential risks with the process, which may cause the teeth to become brittle over time. We typically recommend a minimum age of 16 for teeth whitening treatment. If you have additional questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Whitening in the Comfort of Your Home
We offer easy-to-use at-home whitening kits that help brighten your teeth within just a few days. We provide custom trays to distribute the whitening gel evenly during application.
The custom dental trays can be worn for a few hours a day and will help you achieve a progressively brighter smile. While clear Invisalign aligners can potentially function as whitening trays, it is important to speak with your dentist before attempting this.
Teeth whitening plans are typically recommended to occur over the course of several weeks.
In-Office Professional Whitening Treatments
In-office teeth whitening treatment is also available at our clinic, which offers quick, effective results.
With this choice, the procedure is performed and carefully supervised by a professional. Regardless of the option, you will achieve an enhanced smile.
How At-Home Teeth Whitening Works
During your appointment, custom whitening trays will be prepared using impressions of your teeth.
To receive your custom tray, whitening gel, and application guidelines, you will attend a follow-up visit to the clinic. This would be a great opportunity to ask questions.
During the application, whitening gel will be placed in each tray, and you will place them over your teeth as directed. The trays in your mouth must be worn for one to two hours daily.
The Results
Typically, results are often seen within 10 to 14 days after application, with a significant change in tooth colour most commonly occurring in four to six weeks.
Whitening treatment may have limited effects on heavily stained teeth. In these instances, your dentist may recommend alternative treatments like dental crowns or veneers.
