When to Whiten?
Teeth whitening does not alter the appearance of crowns, bridges, veneers, or fillings. Therefore, it’s advisable to whiten your teeth before undergoing these dental procedures. This allows our dentists to match the colour of your new dental work to your freshly whitened teeth.
Professional teeth whitening effectively removes both surface stains and deeper discoloration, ensuring a brighter smile.

Why Do Teeth Become Stained Or Discolored?
Surface Stains: Enamel, the outer layer of oustr teeth, is primarily composed of minerals and is the hardest substance in the human body, providing robu protection against surface stains.
- Dark-coloured beverages like tea, coffee, wine, colas, and fruit juices
- Dark-coloured sauces such as tomato and soy sauce
- Sugary drinks and foods
- Brightly coloured fruits like berries, cherries, and pomegranates
- Tobacco products
- Poor nutrition and inadequate oral hygiene can lead to tooth discoloration.
Although tooth enamel is incredibly strong, it is also porous, containing tiny holes that can absorb substances that stain your teeth. Common culprits include:
Deep Stains:The inner layer of a tooth, located just beneath the enamel, can also become discoloured. This layer is inherently yellow or grey. As enamel gradually erodes with age, the underlying hue becomes more noticeable, resulting in teeth that appear lackluster. Additionally, the inner portion of teeth can be discoloured by factors like medications, illnesses, and injuries.
Top Teeth Whitening Options
Lightening the natural colour of your teeth can be effectively achieved through teeth whitening, avoiding the need for more invasive methods like veneers. By either having the procedure done at our office or using our detailed take-home kit instructions, you can attain impressive results without enduring long-term sensitivity.
Professional Whitening Treatment
For optimal teeth whitening, many patients find that investing in a professional in-office treatment is the most effective approach. In this procedure, custom-designed trays are used to apply a bleaching solution to the teeth. A laser is then employed to gently heat the solution, activating oxygen molecules that penetrate the enamel and eliminate stains. Laser teeth whitening yields immediate results and may also help minimize the potential for sensitivity and gum irritation.

These kits feature application trays tailored to fit the unique contours and grooves of your teeth, ensuring thorough and consistent whitening of the enamel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Plaque accumulates when bacteria from food and drink particles are not adequately removed from your teeth. Over time, plaque hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dentist or hygienist. This yellowish deposit can develop on or around your teeth if brushing frequency or thoroughness is insufficient.
Teeth whitening procedures are generally safe, although you may experience temporary tooth sensitivity, especially in the initial treatments. This sensitivity tends to decrease over time. Always follow the instructions provided with your take-home kit or over-the-counter products carefully to minimize any potential discomfort.
Crowns, veneers, and fillings on your front teeth will not change colour with whitening treatments. Whitening the surrounding natural teeth may cause the artificial dental work to appear more noticeable.
Teeth whitening procedures are generally not eligible for coverage under most insurance plans. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to verify coverage details. We can provide an estimate that you may submit to your insurer for consideration.
Following a teeth whitening treatment, it’s best to avoid consuming foods and beverages known to stain teeth, such as tea, coffee, red wine, coloured soft drinks, fruit juices, tomato sauce, curry, soy sauce, red meat, chocolate, and most fruits except bananas.
The duration of teeth whitening results varies depending on the type of treatment and your oral care habits, typically ranging from 6 months to up to 3 years.
Teeth whitening treatments can sometimes cause temporary tooth sensitivity, especially during the initial phases of treatment. This sensitivity typically diminishes over time and can often be managed with desensitizing toothpaste or other methods recommended by your dentist.
While teeth whitening is generally safe and effective for most people, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain dental conditions or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It’s essential to consult with your dentist to determine if teeth whitening is appropriate for you based on your oral health and medical history.
