When to Whiten?
Teeth whitening will not affect the appearance of crowns, bridges, veneers, or fillings. We recommend whitening before any upcoming dental work, such as crowns or fillings, so our dentists can match the colour of your new restorations to your whiter teeth.
Professional whitening can effectively remove both surface stains and deeper discoloration, ensuring a brighter, more uniform smile.

Why Teeth Become Stained or Discolored
Surface Stains:
Tooth enamel, the hardest substance in your body, is naturally strong but also porous, meaning it has tiny holes that absorb substances that can stain your teeth.
Common culprits include:
- Dark-colored beverages like tea, coffee, wine, colas, and fruit juices
- Dark 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 also contribute to surface staining.
Deep Stains:
Discoloration can also occur in the inner layer of your teeth, just beneath the enamel. This layer is naturally yellow or gray, and as you age, enamel wears down, allowing the underlying colour to show through, making teeth appear dull. Medications, illness, or injury can also cause deep stains.
Top Teeth Whitening Options
Teeth whitening is an effective way to brighten your smile without more invasive treatments like veneers. Whether you choose an in-office procedure or prefer the convenience of a take-home kit, you can achieve noticeable results with minimal risk of sensitivity.
Professional Whitening Treatment
For most patients, the most effective whitening method is a professional in-office treatment. During this procedure, a powerful bleaching solution is applied to your teeth using specially designed trays. A laser is then used to gently heat the solution, activating oxygen molecules that penetrate the enamel and remove deep stains. This process offers immediate results, while also reducing the risk of sensitivity and gum irritation.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kit
For those who prefer whitening at home, we offer customized take-home kits. These kits include personalized application trays, moulded from your actual teeth to ensure a snug, comfortable fit. Unlike store-bought options, our trays allow for consistent and even whitening, while minimizing the risk of tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. Over the course of three to four weeks, the whitening gel gradually lightens your enamel to reveal a brighter smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Plaque forms when food and drink particles are not fully removed from your teeth. Over time, plaque hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dentist or hygienist. This yellow buildup can occur if you don’t brush thoroughly or frequently enough.
Teeth whitening is generally safe, but some people may experience temporary tooth sensitivity, especially during the first few treatments. Sensitivity usually decreases with time. Always follow the instructions carefully when using take-home kits or over-the-counter products to ensure safety.
Teeth whitening will not change the colour of crowns, veneers, or fillings on your front teeth. However, whitening the surrounding natural teeth may cause these restorations to stand out, as they will not change colour.
Teeth whitening is typically not covered by insurance. However, it’s always best to contact your provider directly. We can provide you with an estimate to submit for reimbursement if applicable.
To maintain your bright smile after whitening, avoid dark staining foods and drinks, such as:
- Tea, coffee, red wine, coloured soft drinks, and fruit juices
- Tomato sauce, curry, soy sauce, red meat, chocolate, and most fruits (except bananas)
The longevity of whitening results depends on the type of treatment and how well you care for your teeth. Results can last anywhere from 6 months to 3 years, with proper maintenance.
