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 first when crowns, fillings or veneers will be needed in the not-too-distant future. Our dentists can then match the colour of later dental work to your whitened teeth.
Professional teeth whitening can remove stains and discoloration from the tooth surface and the area deep within in.

Why Teeth Become Stained or Discolored
Surface Stains: Tooth enamel, which protects your teeth, is the hardest substance in your body. However, it is porous, meaning it has tiny holes that can absorb substances that stain your teeth. These substances include:
- Dark-colored beverages such as tea, coffee, wine, colas, and fruit juices.
- Dark sauces like tomato and soy sauce.
- Sugary drinks and foods.
- Brightly colored fruits such as berries, cherries, and pomegranates.
- Tobacco products.
- Additionally, poor nutrition and inadequate oral hygiene can contribute to staining.
Deep Stains: Discoloration can also occur beneath the surface of the tooth, within the inner layer just below the enamel. This layer tends to be naturally yellow or gray. As you age, the enamel naturally wears down, revealing this underlying color and causing the teeth to look dull or discolored. Medications, illnesses, and injuries can also affect the color of the inner tooth layer, contributing to deeper stains.
Top Teeth Whitening Options
Whitening your teeth can be a simple yet effective way to brighten your smile and enhance your appearance. Whether you opt for a professional in-office treatment or prefer to whiten your teeth at home, there are options that will suit your lifestyle and needs. Both approaches offer great results with minimal discomfort, so you can enjoy a whiter smile without the worry of lasting sensitivity.
Professional Whitening Treatment
One of the most popular and effective options for teeth whitening is in-office professional treatments. This process typically involves applying a bleaching solution to your teeth, followed by gentle heat using a special light or laser. The heat activates the solution, allowing it to break down stubborn stains on your enamel more efficiently. This treatment offers immediate, noticeable results and is an excellent option for those seeking a quick and dramatic change in their smile.
Take-home Whitening Kit
For those who prefer the convenience of whitening at home, our take-home whitening kits offer a customized solution. These kits come with custom trays that are designed specifically for your teeth, ensuring an even application of whitening gel. Since the trays are made from impressions of your teeth, they fit securely and comfortably, minimizing discomfort and helping to prevent gum irritation. Over the course of three to four weeks, your teeth will gradually become brighter, allowing you to achieve professional-quality results in the comfort of your own home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Even with regular brushing, your teeth may develop a yellowish tint due to plaque buildup. Plaque forms when food particles and bacteria are not fully cleaned from your teeth, and over time, it can harden into tartar. Tartar can only be removed by a dental professional and can give your teeth a yellowish appearance. Poor brushing habits or not brushing thoroughly can contribute to this discoloration.
Teeth whitening is generally considered safe when done properly. However, some individuals may experience temporary tooth sensitivity, especially during the initial treatments. This sensitivity typically lessens over time. To avoid any potential risks, it’s important to follow the provided instructions carefully, whether you’re using a professional whitening service or an at-home kit.
Most dental insurance plans do not cover teeth whitening, as it is generally considered a cosmetic procedure. However, it’s a good idea to contact your insurance provider to check if they offer any coverage for whitening treatments. We can provide you with an estimate that you can submit to your insurer for approval.
To maintain your whitening results, avoid consuming foods and drinks that can stain your teeth. These include:
- Dark beverages like tea, coffee, red wine, and colored sodas
- Acidic drinks such as fruit juices
- Foods like curry, tomato sauce, soy sauce, chocolate, and red meat
- Fruit, except for bananas
The longevity of your whitening results depends on factors such as the method used and how well you maintain your oral hygiene. Typically, teeth whitening can last anywhere from 6 months to 3 years, with regular care helping to extend the results.
