What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?

Professional teeth whitening is a non-invasive, cosmetic treatment that lightens the natural colour of your tooth enamel. Unlike over-the-counter kits, our treatments use advanced bleaching agents to safely remove stubborn stains caused by coffee, tea, tobacco, and aging. With treatments tailored to your needs, you can expect noticeable results that enhance your smile and overall appearance and confidence.

How Our Whitening Treatments Work

Our in-office whitening treatment is designed for fast, dramatic results that brighten your smile in just one visit. When you arrive, our skilled team first applies a gentle protective barrier around your gums to keep them safe during the process.

Next, we carefully apply a specially formulated whitening gel to your natural tooth enamel. An LED light is then used to activate the gel, which helps break down years of stains quickly.

This step may be repeated in stages until your teeth reach the desired or maximum level of brightness, all within about 1 hour.

Custom Take-Home Whitening System

We can also offer a custom take-home system that lets you improve your smile at your own pace. At your first appointment, we take detailed impressions of your teeth to create clear, custom-fit trays.

You then receive a professional-grade whitening gel along with simple, step-by-step instructions. Simply fill your trays with the gel and wear them for 30 minutes twice a day.

Over a few weeks, this method gently lifts stains to reveal a noticeably whiter smile. Mild sensitivity is normal and usually fades as your treatment progresses.

Professional teeth whitening offers a safe, effective way to lift stubborn stains and reveal a noticeably brighter smile, whether in-office or from the comfort of home. Schedule your consultation today to find the whitening option that fits your lifestyle and goals.

How long do the effects of teeth whitening last?

Teeth whitening is not permanent. A touch-up may be needed every several months, and more often if you smoke, drink coffee, tea, or red wine.

Is teeth whitening safe for my enamel?

Yes. When performed under the supervision of a dental professional, our whitening treatments are safe and have minimal side effects. Some sensitivity may occur, but it typically subsides quickly.

How does teeth whitening work with crowns, veneers, or fillings?

Teeth whitening only works on your natural enamel. If you have crowns, veneers, or fillings, these will not change color, so we recommend planning any cosmetic restorations after whitening.

Will teeth whitening cause sensitivity?

Slight sensitivity is a common, short-term side effect following a whitening session. For most patients, any discomfort fades within a few days. For those already with sensitive teeth, a closer examination may be needed before whitening.

Does insurance cover the cost of teeth whitening?

Dental insurance does not usually cover the cost of teeth whitening as it is a purely cosmetic procedure. For those with a health care spending account (HCSA), teeth whitening may qualify as an approved expenditure. It is important to note, the expense for teeth whitening typically qualifies as a tax write off.
