Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
We’re all different—our age, lifestyle, diet, medications, and more all affect our teeth and gums. A whitening product that works for one person may not work for you. Worse yet, some store-bought products can damage your gums.
Our professional teeth whitening offers distinct advantages over off-the-shelf products:
- Based on Your Needs: When you come to us for teeth whitening, we first find out what troubles you about the appearance of your teeth, what you hope to achieve from the procedure, and your expectations. 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 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. Our dentists know exactly how to perform the procedure to whiten 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.
Only a qualified dentist can evaluate the safest, most effective whitening procedure for you. Give us a call!
At-Home Whitening Kits
For patients who prefer to whiten their teeth on their own schedule and in the comfort of their own homes, we offer customized take-home whitening kits.
Unlike store-bought kits, our at-home whitening kits gradually lighten enamel over the course of three to four weeks and include:
- Medical-strength whitening gel: The whitening power of our at-home kits is far greater than any store-bought product you might find.
- Customized dental trays for best results: Instead of the one-size-fits-all dental trays found in store-bought kits, our application trays are custom-made based on models of your actual teeth. They’re designed to hug the natural contours and grooves of your teeth, enabling consistent and complete whitening of the enamel.
- Expert dental guidance: Our dentist will advise you on how to use the at-home kit safely and effectively to get the results you want.

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 your teeth before having any crowns, fillings, or veneers placed in the near future. This allows our dentists to match the colour of your new dental work to your freshly whitened teeth.
Professional teeth whitening can effectively remove stains and discolouration from the tooth surface as well as from deeper areas within the enamel.

Why Teeth Become Stained Or Discolored?
Surface Stains: Our teeth are protected by a layer of enamel composed primarily of minerals. Tooth enamel is so strong that it’s the hardest substance in your body. However, tooth enamel is also porous, meaning it contains tiny holes that absorb substances that stain your teeth, including:
- Dark-coloured beverages including tea, coffee, wine, colas, and fruit juices
- Dark-coloured sauces such as tomato and soy sauce
- Sugary beverages and foods
- Brightly coloured fruits such as berries, cherries, and pomegranates
- Tobacco products
- Poor nutrition and oral hygiene can also discolour your teeth
Deep Stains: Tooth discolouration also occurs in the inner portion of a tooth, the layer just below the enamel. This tooth layer is naturally yellow or grey in colour. As a person ages, the enamel wears away and the underlying colour shows through, making teeth appear dull or dingy. Medications, illness, and injury can also discolour the inner portion of your teeth.
Top Teeth Whitening Options
Teeth whitening is an effective way to lighten the natural colour of your teeth without relying on more invasive procedures like veneers. Having your teeth whitened at our office or carefully following the instructions in your take-home kit will show results without any lasting sensitivity.
Professional Whitening Treatment
For most patients, the most effective way to whiten teeth is to invest in a professional in-office treatment. During your in-office teeth whitening, a bleaching solution is applied to the teeth using specially designed trays. Once the trays are in place, a laser is used to gently heat the solution, activating oxygen molecules that can penetrate enamel to remove stains. Laser teeth whitening offers immediate results and may also help reduce risks of sensitivity and gum irritation.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kit
For patients who prefer to whiten their teeth in the comfort and privacy of their own homes, we offer customized take-home whitening kits. These kits come with customized application trays that hug the natural contours and grooves of your teeth, enabling consistent and complete whitening of the enamel. Unlike store-bought kits, our teeth whitening trays are molded from models of your actual teeth, a benefit that also reduces risks of tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. Take-home kits gradually lighten enamel over the course of three to four weeks.
