Teeth Whitening

Over the years, like almost everyone, you’ve experienced a natural buildup of organic pigments on your teeth. Coloured proteins from coffee, tea, and other foods have simply darkened the natural whiteness of your teeth. The use of tobacco, antibiotics, and certain minerals usually speeds the darkening process. But, yellowing can be easily reversed.

Nearly anyone aged 18 to 90. If you want to obtain a more confident smile by improving the whiteness of your teeth, talk to us.

Your dentist will first check your teeth and gums to be sure that you begin the treatment in good dental health. An impression of your teeth is taken in order to provide you with a custom-fit plastic tray designed to hold the bleaching gel next to your teeth. Following the bleaching program your dentist suggests, you will notice the results quickly, as the gentle oxygenating action of the gel begins to whiten your teeth.

Whitening is gentle and safe when supervised by a dentist. In fact, dentist supervised whitening has been done for nearly a century, but has increased in popularity in recent years as yellowed teeth are becoming less and less acceptable, both socially and professionally. Procedures have been simplified and shown to be safe.

You’ll see results right away, usually within three days of starting the whitening process. The complete process normally takes between one and two weeks, but treatment times will vary depending on the source, type, and depth of the discolouration.

There is little, if any. Some patients might feel an increased sensitivity to cold, heat, or pressure during the whitening process, but this sensitivity ends a day or two after the treatment is completed. Any note of persistent discomfort should be reported to your dentist.

Over time results can fade and the teeth can darken again but they will never go back to how they were before the whitening treatment was done.

In order to maintain the results whitening top up can be done and is perfectly safe to do so.
