Is teeth whitening covered by insurance?

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.

What should I avoid to keep my teeth white longer?

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.

How long does teeth whitening last?

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.

Can teeth whitening remove all types of stains?

Professional whitening is most effective on stains caused by food, drinks, and tobacco. Some deep internal stains caused by medications or trauma may require alternative cosmetic treatments such as veneers or bonding.

How soon will I notice results after professional whitening?

Many patients notice a visibly brighter smile immediately after an in-office whitening treatment, while take-home kits typically produce gradual results over several weeks.

Does teeth whitening damage tooth enamel?

When performed under the supervision of a dental professional, teeth whitening is considered safe and does not damage healthy tooth enamel. Following your dentist's instructions is important for the best results.

Can I smoke after a teeth whitening treatment?

It's best to avoid smoking or using tobacco products for at least 24–48 hours after whitening, as teeth are more susceptible to staining immediately following treatment.

How can I maintain my whitening results?

Brush and floss daily, limit stain-causing foods and beverages, avoid tobacco products, schedule regular dental cleanings, and consider occasional touch-up treatments as recommended by your dentist.

With the expert care and guidance of professionals, you’re guaranteed to see noticeable results, often in just one visit.

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Only a qualified dentist can recommend the safest and most effective whitening treatment for you. Call us today to schedule your consultation!

When to Whiten Your Teeth?

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.

Professional teeth whitening can remove stains and discoloration from both the surface and deeper layers of your teeth.

Why Teeth Become Stained or Discolored:

Surface Stains: Our teeth are protected by enamel, the hardest substance in the body, primarily made of minerals.

However, tooth enamel is porous, meaning it contains tiny holes that can absorb substances that stain your teeth. These include:

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 Options in Stouffville

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.

Professional Whitening Treatment

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.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kit

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my teeth yellow even though I brush them?

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.

Is teeth whitening safe?

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.

Will whitening affect my veneers or fillings?

If you have crowns, veneers, or fillings on your front teeth, they will not change colour with whitening treatment
