Teeth Whitening

What Causes Tooth Discoloration?

 

Over time, teeth can lose their brightness due to:

​

• Food, Drinks & Tobacco – Coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking can stain teeth.

• Aging – Enamel naturally wears down, exposing the darker dentin beneath.

• Medications & Trauma – Certain medications and dental injuries can cause deep discoloration.

 

Teeth Whitening Options

 

Professional In-Office Whitening

 

This treatment provides immediate, dramatic results using a high-concentration whitening gel, often enhanced with a special light. It’s done under professional supervision for safety and effectiveness.

 

At-Home Whitening

 

For a more gradual approach, at-home options include:

​

• Whitening Strips – Thin strips coated with whitening gel for easy application.

• Custom Whitening Trays – Dentist-prescribed trays with professional-grade gel for effective, even whitening.

​

Things to Consider Before Whitening

​

• Consult Your Dentist – Whitening works best on natural teeth and may not be suitable for everyone.

• Temporary Sensitivity – Some people may experience mild tooth sensitivity.

• Whitening Doesn’t Work on Restorations – Crowns, veneers, and fillings won’t change colour.

​

Maintaining Your Bright Smile

 

To keep your teeth white for longer:

​

• Brush & Floss Daily to prevent new stains.

• Limit Staining Foods & Drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine.

• Schedule Regular Dental Visits for cleanings and touch-ups as needed.
