Teeth Whitening

​

Over time, teeth often become discoloured and stained by food, beverages, and tobacco. Professional Tooth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment that can dramatically enhance the beauty of your smile.

​

There are two types of professional whitening, in-office, and home treatment. The most popular method is using a home tooth whitening system that will dramatically whiten your teeth. Both professional options are stronger and more effective than over-the-counter products. Since tooth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is important to evaluate replacement options for any old fillings, crowns, etc. 

​

Your dentist or dental hygienist may recommend teeth whitening for the following reasons:

​

• Fluorosis (excessive fluoridation during tooth development).

• Normal wear of outer tooth layer.

• Stained teeth due to medications (tetracycline, etc.).

• Yellow, brown stained teeth.
