What Would People Most Like to Change About Their Smiles?
One of the top things people want is whiter teeth. Teeth whitening is by far the fastest and easiest way to refresh your smile and help you feel more confident throughout your day. It’s a safe, effective method to brighten and improve the appearance of your teeth. By having your whitening done under the care of professionals, you’re guaranteed to get the results you’re after. In fact, you can often leave with a noticeably brighter smile in just one visit!
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Everyone’s teeth are different—factors like your age, lifestyle, diet, and even medications can affect your teeth and gums. What works for one person might not give you the same results. Even worse, some over-the-counter whitening products can harm your gums. By choosing professional teeth whitening, you’ll get a treatment tailored specifically to you, ensuring both safety and effectiveness for your unique smile.
Our Professional Teeth Whitening Gives You These Distinct Advantages Over Store-Bought Products:
- Tailored to You: When you visit us for teeth whitening, we take the time to understand what specifically bothers you about your smile and what results you’re hoping for. After a thorough exam of your teeth and gums, we’ll recommend the best whitening treatment based on your unique needs, oral health, and the goals you want to achieve.
- Expert Care: Our dentists are highly trained in the latest whitening techniques and products. They follow strict safety guidelines to ensure you’re fully protected throughout the process, giving you peace of mind while getting the best possible results.
- Dramatic Results: We use a powerful, prescription-strength bleaching solution that’s far more effective than anything you’ll find in a store. It contains the strongest whitening agents available, providing dramatic improvements to your smile.
- Fast Results: With professional teeth whitening, you can see significant results in as little as an hour. No need to wait weeks for gradual changes—our treatment offers fast and noticeable improvements.
- Even Whitening: One of the big downsides of over-the-counter products, like whitening strips, is that they often leave your teeth unevenly whitened. Our expert dentists know how to evenly whiten all the contours and angles of your teeth, so your entire smile looks flawless.
- More Comfortable: Our whitening process is designed with your comfort in mind. We use a special laser to minimize sensitivity and prevent any gum irritation, making the experience as comfortable as possible for you.
Only a qualified dentist can determine the safest and most effective whitening treatment tailored just for you. So why wait? Give us a call, and let’s get started on giving you the bright smile you deserve!

When to Whiten?
Our dentists will remind you that teeth whitening doesn’t affect the colour of crowns, bridges, veneers, or fillings. That’s why we suggest whitening your teeth first if you know you’ll need any of these treatments soon. This way, your dentist can match the colour of your new dental work to your freshly whitened teeth.
Professional whitening is also great for lifting stains and discoloration, both on the surface and deeper within the tooth.

Why Do Teeth Become Stained or Discolored?
Surface Stains: The outer layer of our teeth is made of enamel, which is mostly minerals and happens to be the strongest substance in your body. However, despite its strength, it can still pick up surface stains over time from foods, drinks, and other factors.
But enamel is also porous, meaning it has tiny holes that absorb substances that can stain your teeth. Some of the main culprits include:
- Dark beverages like coffee, tea, wine, colas, and fruit juices.
- Dark sauces such as tomato sauce and soy sauce.
- Sugary foods and drinks.
- Brightly coloured fruits like berries, cherries, and pomegranates.
- Tobacco products.
- Poor nutrition and oral hygiene can also lead to discoloration over time.
Deep Stains: Discoloration can also happen in the inner layer of the tooth, just beneath the enamel. This layer is naturally more yellow or grey, and as we age, the enamel starts to wear down, allowing that colour to show through, which can make teeth look dull or dingy. Things like certain medications, illness, and even injuries can also cause this deeper discoloration.
Top Teeth Whitening Options
Whitening your teeth is a fantastic way to brighten your smile without needing invasive procedures like veneers. Whether you decide to come into our office or use one of our personalized take-home kits, you can expect great results without having to deal with ongoing sensitivity.
Professional Whitening Treatment
If you’re looking for fast and dramatic results, professional in-office whitening is one of the best options. In this treatment, a bleaching solution is carefully applied to your teeth using custom-designed trays that fit perfectly. Afterward, we use a laser to gently warm the solution, which activates oxygen molecules to break through the enamel and lift stubborn stains. This laser technique delivers instant results and can also help minimize the chances of gum irritation or tooth sensitivity.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kit
For those who prefer a more flexible approach, our take-home whitening kits offer the convenience of brightening your smile on your own schedule. These kits include trays that are custom-made to fit your teeth, ensuring an even whitening experience across the surface of each tooth. Unlike store-bought kits, our trays are specifically moulded to your teeth, which not only enhances the whitening results but also reduces the chances of sensitivity and gum irritation. Gradually, over three to four weeks, you’ll notice your teeth becoming noticeably brighter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Even with regular brushing, yellowing can occur if plaque isn’t fully cleaned off your teeth. Plaque builds up from bacteria left behind by food and drinks, and if not removed, it hardens into tartar. Tartar creates a yellowish layer that brushing alone can’t remove—it needs to be professionally cleaned by a dentist or hygienist. If brushing isn’t thorough or frequent enough, this buildup can still form around your teeth.
Teeth whitening is generally safe, though some people may notice sensitivity during or after treatment. This is especially common during the first few treatments but tends to lessen over time. It’s crucial to follow the instructions carefully, whether you’re using a professional take-home kit or an over-the-counter product, to ensure the best and safest results.
If you have crowns, veneers, or fillings on your front teeth, they won’t respond to whitening treatments. The colour of these restorations will stay the same, which might make them stand out compared to your newly whitened teeth.
Teeth whitening is typically considered a cosmetic procedure and usually isn’t covered by insurance. It’s a good idea to check with your provider to see if you’re eligible for any coverage. We can also provide an estimate for you to submit to them.
To help maintain your bright smile after whitening, it’s best to steer clear of anything that could stain a white shirt. This includes dark beverages like tea, coffee, red wine, and coloured soft drinks or alcohol. You’ll also want to avoid foods such as tomato sauce, curry, soy sauce, red meat, chocolate, and most fruits—except for bananas.
The longevity of your teeth whitening results depends on the type of treatment and how well you care for your teeth afterward. Results can last anywhere from 6 months to up to 3 years with good maintenance.
