- Powerful Results: We use prescription-strength bleaching agents that are more potent than anything available over the counter, delivering significant whitening effects.

When Should You Whiten Your Teeth?
Our dentists recommend whitening your teeth before getting any crowns, bridges, veneers, or fillings. Since teeth whitening doesn’t alter the colour of these dental restorations, whitening first ensures that your new crowns, fillings, or veneers will perfectly match your brightened teeth. This approach provides a seamless and natural-looking smile.
Professional teeth whitening effectively removes stains and discolouration from both the surface of your teeth and the deeper layers beneath the enamel. This comprehensive treatment enhances the overall brightness and appearance of your smile, giving you the confident, radiant look you desire.

Why Do Teeth Become Stained or Discoloured?
Teeth staining and discolouration can affect anyone, but understanding the causes can help you take steps to maintain a brighter smile.
Surface Stains: Our teeth are protected by a layer of enamel, which is the hardest substance in your body. However, enamel is also porous, meaning it has tiny holes that can absorb substances that stain your teeth. Common culprits include:
- Dark-coloured beverages: Tea, coffee, wine, colas, and fruit juices.
- Dark-coloured sauces: Tomato and soy sauce.
- Sugary beverages and foods: Sodas, candies, and sweet treats.
- Brightly coloured fruits: Berries, cherries, and pomegranates.
- Tobacco products: Smoking or chewing tobacco.
- Poor nutrition and oral hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to discoloration.
Deep Stains: Tooth discolouration can also occur beneath the enamel in the inner portion of the tooth, known as dentin. This layer is naturally yellow or grey in colour. As you age, enamel wears away, allowing the underlying dentin to show through, making teeth appear dull or dingy. Additionally, factors such as medications, illnesses, and injuries can affect the dentin, leading to deeper discolouration that traditional whitening methods may not fully address.
Maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding staining foods and drinks, and regular dental check-ups can help prevent both surface and deep stains. If you’re concerned about tooth discolouration, contact us today to explore professional whitening options that can restore your bright, healthy smile!
Top Teeth Whitening Options
Teeth whitening is a fantastic way to lighten the natural colour of your teeth without resorting to more invasive procedures like veneers. Whether you choose to have your teeth whitened at our office or prefer the convenience of a take-home kit, you can achieve noticeable results without lasting sensitivity.
Professional Whitening Treatment
For most patients, the most effective way to whiten teeth is through a professional in-office treatment. During this procedure, we apply a bleaching solution to your teeth using specially designed trays. A gentle laser is then used to heat the solution, activating oxygen molecules that penetrate the enamel to remove stains. This laser whitening process offers immediate results and is designed to minimize the risk of sensitivity and gum irritation, ensuring a comfortable experience.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kit
If you prefer whitening your teeth in the comfort and privacy of your home, our customized take-home whitening kits are an excellent option. These kits include application trays that are tailored to fit the unique contours and grooves of your teeth, ensuring consistent and thorough whitening of the enamel. Unlike store-bought kits, our trays are moulded from precise models of your actual teeth, which helps reduce the risk of tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. With our take-home kits, you can gradually lighten your enamel over three to four weeks, achieving professional-level results at your own pace.

Frequently Asked Questions
Even if you brush regularly, your teeth can still become yellow due to plaque buildup. Plaque forms when bacteria from food and drink particles aren’t cleaned off properly. Over time, plaque hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dentist or hygienist. This yellow coating can develop on or around your teeth if brushing isn’t thorough or frequent enough.
Yes, teeth whitening is generally safe. However, you might experience some tooth sensitivity, especially during your first or second treatment. This sensitivity usually diminishes over time. It’s important to follow the instructions carefully when using take-home kits or over-the-counter products to ensure safe and effective results.
Teeth whitening does not change the color of dental restorations like crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you have these on your front teeth, whitening your natural teeth might make the restorations stand out more. It’s a good idea to discuss your whitening plans with your dentist to ensure a harmonious and consistent smile.
Teeth whitening is typically not covered by dental insurance as it’s considered a cosmetic procedure. However, it’s always best to check with your insurance provider to see if any coverage is available. We can provide an estimate for you to submit to your provider for review.
After a teeth whitening treatment, try to avoid foods and drinks that can stain your teeth. These include:
- Dark beverages: Tea, coffee, red wine, colored soft or alcoholic drinks, and fruit juices.
- Staining foods: Tomato sauce, curry, soy sauce, red meat, chocolate, and most fruits except bananas.
By limiting these, you can help maintain your bright, white smile for a longer period.
The longevity of teeth whitening results varies based on the type of treatment and how well you maintain your teeth. Generally, whitening can last anywhere from six months to up to three years. Maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding staining foods and drinks can help prolong the effects of your whitening treatment.
