What Would People Most Like To Change About Their Smiles?

They want whiter teeth.

Professional teeth whitening is the fastest and easiest way to restore your natural smile and make you feel more confident as you go about your daily life. It is a safe and effective way to get your teeth looking brighter and healthier. Having your teeth whitened with the care and guidance of professionals is the surest way to see the results you’re looking for and will result in a noticeably brighter smile in as little as one visit.

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

We’re all different—our age, lifestyle, diet, medications and more all affect our teeth and gums. A whitening product that works for one person may not work for you. Worse yet, some store-bought products can damage your gums.

Our professional teeth-whitening gives you these distinct advantages over off-the-shelf products:

Based on Your Needs: When you come see to us for teeth whitening, we find out what troubles you about the appearance of your teeth, what you hope to achieve from the procedure and your expectations. Then, after thoroughly examining your teeth and gums, we recommend the best whitening procedure for you based on the results you’d like and your oral health.

Performed by Experts: Our dentists are specifically trained in teeth whitening products and techniques. They know exactly how to perform the procedure and follow all safety protocols during it for your protection.

Dramatic Improvement: We use a prescription-strength bleaching solution to whiten your teeth. This solution contains the most powerful whitening agents on the market.

Immediate Results: Only professional teeth whitening yields exceptional results in as little as one hour.

Even Whitening: Over-the-counter whitening products are notorious for uneven whitening. This is especially true of whitening strips which fail to cover the entire tooth. Rest assured our dentists know exactly how to perform the procedure for whitening all contours and angles of your teeth.

Increased Comfort: Our whitening process includes the use of a laser to minimize any chance of sensitivity and gum irritation.

But only a qualified dentist can evaluate the safest, most effective whitening procedure for you. Give us a call!

At-Home Whitening Kits

For patients who prefer to whiten their teeth on their own schedule and in the comfort of their own homes, we offer customized take-home whitening kits.

Unlike store-bought kits, our at-home whitening kits gradually lighten enamel over the course of three to four weeks and include:

Medical-strength whitening gel: The whitening power of our at-home kits is far greater than any store-bought product you might find.

Customized dental trays for best results: instead of the one-size-fits-all dental trays found in store-bought kits, our application trays are custom-made based on models of your actual teeth. They’re designed to hug the natural contours and grooves of your teeth, enabling consistent and complete whitening of the enamel.

Expert dental guidance: Our dentist will advise you on how to use the at-home kit safely and effectively to get the results you want.

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 discolouration from the tooth surface and the area deep within in.

Why Teeth Become Stained Or Discoloured?

Surface Stains: Our teeth are protected by a layer of enamel composed primarily of minerals. Tooth enamel is so strong, it’s the hardest substance in your body.

But tooth enamel is also porous meaning it contains tiny holes which absorb substances that stain your teeth, including:

Dark-coloured beverages including tea, coffee, wine, colas and fruit juices.
Dark-coloured sauces such as tomato and soy sauce.
Sugary beverages and foods.
Brightly coloured fruit such as berries, cherries and pomegranates.
Tobacco products.
Poor nutrition and oral hygiene can also discolour your teeth.

Deep Stains: Tooth discolouration also occurs in the inner portion of a tooth, the layer just below the enamel. This tooth layer is naturally yellow or gray in colour. As a person ages, the enamel wears away and the underlying colour shows through, making teeth appear dull or dingy. Medications, illness and injury can also discolour the inner portion of your teeth.

Top Teeth Whitening Options

Teeth whitening is an effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without relying on more invasive procedures like veneers. Having your teeth whitening at our office or carefully following the instructions in your take-home kit will show results without any lasting sensitivity.

Professional whitening treatment

For most patients, the most effective way to whiten teeth is to invest in a professional in-office treatment. During your in-office teeth whitening, a bleaching solution is applied to the teeth using specially designed trays. Once the trays are in place, a laser is used to gently heat the solution, working to activate oxygen molecules that can penetrate enamel to remove stains. Laser teeth whitening offers immediate results. It may also help reduce risks of sensitivity and gum irritation.

Take-home teeth whitening Kit

For patients who prefer to whiten their teeth in the comfort and privacy of their own homes, we offer customized take-home whitening kits. These kits come with customized application trays that hug the natural contours and grooves of your teeth, enabling consistent and complete whitening of the enamel. Unlike store-bought kits, our teeth whitening trays are moulded from models of your actual teeth, a benefit that also reduces risks of tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. Take-home kits gradually lighten enamel over the course of three to four weeks.

Follow up Appointments

We will provided you with each set of clear aligners to wear for about two weeks. Your teeth will shift into place a little at a time as the aligners are changed for the next in the series until your teeth have been moved to their final, correct position. Visits to the office will be scheduled roughly once every 1-2 months to ensure that the treatment is going as planned.

Other Cosmetic Dentistry

In addition to our teeth whitening services, we also offer dental veneers, Invisalign, and orthodontics to help you achieve your ideal smile. Dental veneers can complement teeth whitening by covering teeth with more severe discoloration or imperfections that whitening alone cannot fix. Invisalign and orthodontics can align your teeth, making the results of your teeth whitening even more striking. Our comprehensive range of cosmetic dentistry and dental services ensures that you achieve a bright, straight, beautiful, and white smile, enhancing your overall appearance and confidence.

Cost Of Professional Teeth Whitening In Ottawa

Teeth whitening treatment performed by dental professionals in the office can cost something in the ball-park of $600 to $1200. A take-home kit provides you with more affordability while still receiving guidance from dental professionals and may cost approximately $300 to $600.

Why is there such a steep difference in cost? Consider the pros and cons between in-office whitening, take-home kits and over-the-counter whitening:

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my teeth yellow even though I brush them?

Plaque forms when bacteria from food and drink particles aren’t cleaned properly from your teeth. Over time, plaque hardens to form tartar, which can only be removed by a dentist or hygienist. This yellow coating can form on or around your teeth if you don’t brush.

Is teeth whitening safe?

While teeth whitening is considered safe, you may experience some teeth sensitivity. You may experience this on your first visit or second treatment, and it may diminish with time. It is important to always carefully follow the instructions that come with your take-home kit or with over-the-counter products.

Will whitening affect my veneers or fillings?

If you have any crowns, veneers or fillings on the front teeth, they will not change colour with whitening. Whitening the surrounding teeth may make the crowns and fillings stand out.

Is teeth whitening covered by insurance?

Teeth whitening is not often covered by insurance. Call your insurance provider to find out if they cover you. We can provide an estimate for you to submit to your provider.

What should I avoid to keep my teeth white longer?

After a teeth whitening treatment, try to avoid any dark fruits, foods or drinks that would leave a stain on a white shirt. Any dark-staining drinks like Tea, Coffee, Red Wine, coloured soft or alcoholic drinks, and fruit juice and any foods like tomato sauce, curry, soy sauce, red meat, chocolate and all fruit except bananas

How long does teeth whitening last?

Depending on the type of teeth whitening and how well you maintain your teeth, whitening can last for anywhere from 6 months to up to 3 years.

Are There Any Side Effects from Teeth Whitening?

Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation after whitening. Our dental hygienists take precautions to minimize these effects so you can be comfortable during the procedure.

Is Teeth Whitening Suitable for Everyone?

Teeth whitening is generally suitable for most patients. However, individuals with certain dental conditions, such as severe gum disease or tooth decay, may need to address these issues before undergoing a whitening treatment. Our dentists will assess your dental health and recommend the very best teeth whitening options for you.

How Often Should I Get My Teeth Whitened?

The frequency of teeth whitening treatments depends on your individual needs and lifestyle. Some patients may benefit from touch-up treatments every six months to a year, while others may only need whitening services every few years. Our dental hygienists can provide personalized recommendations based on your oral health and desired results.

Can I Use Whitening Strips at Home?

While over-the-counter whitening strips can provide some improvement, they are not as effective as professional teeth whitening services. Our home whitening kits include custom trays and professional-grade whitening gel, offering better results than store-bought products.

How Does Teeth Whitening Improve Oral Health?

Teeth whitening can enhance your oral health by motivating you to maintain a better oral hygiene routine. A brighter smile can boost your self-esteem and encourage you to take better care of your teeth and gums.
