Teeth whitening is the quickest and simplest way to restore your natural smile and boost your confidence every day. It’s a safe and effective method for achieving brighter, healthier-looking teeth. With the expert care and guidance of professionals, you’re guaranteed to see noticeable results, often in just one visit.
Everyone’s smile is unique—factors like age, lifestyle, diet, and medications all impact the appearance of your teeth and gums. What works for one person may not work for you, and some over-the-counter products can even harm your gums.
As our dentists will explain, teeth whitening will not affect the appearance of crowns, bridges, veneers, or fillings. Therefore, we recommend whitening your teeth before you need any dental work, such as crowns or fillings, in the near future. This allows our dentists to match the colour of your new dental restorations to your whitened teeth, ensuring a natural, uniform look.
Surface Stains: Our teeth are protected by enamel, the hardest substance in the body, primarily made of minerals.
Deep Stains: Discolouration can also occur in the inner portion of the tooth, just beneath the enamel. This layer is naturally yellow or gray. As we age, the enamel wears away, exposing the underlying colour and making teeth appear dull or discoloured. Medications, illness, and injury can also affect the inner portion of your teeth, leading to deeper stains.
Teeth whitening is an effective way to brighten the natural colour of your teeth without resorting to more invasive procedures like veneers. Whether you opt for professional whitening at our office or carefully follow the instructions in your take-home kit, you’ll see noticeable results with minimal to no lasting sensitivity.
For most patients, the most effective method for whitening teeth is professional in-office treatment. During this procedure, a bleaching solution is applied to your teeth using specially designed trays. Once the trays are in place, a laser is used to gently heat the solution, activating oxygen molecules that penetrate the enamel to remove stains. Laser whitening provides immediate results and may help reduce the risk of sensitivity and gum irritation.
For patients who prefer to whiten their teeth in the comfort and privacy of their own home, we offer customized take-home whitening kits. These kits include application trays that are specially moulded from models of your actual teeth, ensuring a precise fit that hugs the natural contours of your teeth. Unlike store-bought kits, this custom fit helps reduce risks of tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. Over the course of three to four weeks, these kits gradually lighten the enamel for a brighter smile.
to schedule an initial consultation & exam.
Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.
Teeth whitening treatments performed by dental professionals in-office typically range from $600 to $1,200. For a more affordable option, a take-home kit offers professional guidance while still providing excellent results, usually costing between $300 and $600.
Why is there such a steep difference in cost? Here’s a comparison of in-office whitening, take-home kits, and over-the-counter whitening options:

Plaque forms when bacteria from food and drink particles aren’t properly cleaned off your teeth. Over time, plaque hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dentist or hygienist. This yellow coating may develop on or around your teeth if you don’t brush often enough or thoroughly.
Teeth whitening is generally considered safe, although some people may experience temporary tooth sensitivity, particularly during the first or second treatment. This sensitivity usually decreases over time. It’s important to always follow the instructions that come with your take-home kit or over-the-counter products to ensure safety and effectiveness.
If you have crowns, veneers, or fillings on your front teeth, they will not change colour with whitening treatments. Whitening the surrounding natural teeth may cause these restorations to stand out more.
Teeth whitening is typically not covered by insurance. Contact your insurance provider to see if they offer any coverage. We can provide an estimate for you to submit to your insurance provider.
After whitening treatment, try to avoid foods and drinks that can stain white fabrics. Dark beverages like tea, coffee, red wine, coloured soft drinks, and fruit juices, as well as foods like tomato sauce, curry, soy sauce, red meat, chocolate, and all fruits except bananas, can cause staining.
The duration of teeth whitening depends on the type of treatment and how well you maintain your teeth. Whitening results can last anywhere from 6 months to 3 years.
