Teeth Whitening Burlington

Our Dental Office Provides Professional Teeth Whitening Services

If you’re not happy with the appearance of your smile, let’s discuss if our teeth whitening services in Burlington are right for you. Our teeth whitening treatment is designed to address common concerns like discolouration, staining, or dullness, potentially helping patients achieve a more radiant, whiter smile.

What Causes Tooth Discolouration?

Over time, our teeth can lose their natural brightness due to various factors such as:

  • Diet: Coffee, tea, red wine, and tomato-based foods often contribute to staining.
  • Lifestyle Habits: Tobacco use can lead to yellowing or brown stains.
  • Aging: Tooth enamel naturally thins as we age, exposing the underlying dentin.
  • Medications: Some prescriptions can cause discolouration as a side effect.

Not Maintaining Oral Hygiene: Not brushing, flossing, or booking regular dental appointments can have a negative effect on your dental health.

Let's Discuss Which Teeth Whitening Treatment Plan Works Best for You

In-Office Whitening

Many patients report achieving a whiter smile with just one in-office teeth whitening appointment. Our team uses a bleaching agent to achieve whiter teeth. 

Take-Home Whitening Kits

Do you prefer the convenience of whitening your teeth at home? Our custom take-home kits include trays made specifically for your teeth and professional-grade whitening gel for consistent results.

We Can Help Whiten Your Smile in a More Effective Way Than With Over-the-Counter Whitening Products

Visiting a provider of teeth whitening services, like our Burlington dentist, is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile. This is a non-invasive procedure (which we’ll explain below) that can keep your smile whiter and brighter. Remain cautious of using over-the-counter whitening products as they can be less effective and potentially harmful if used incorrectly. These products typically have lower concentrations of whitening agents, which may not deliver the desired results and can lead to uneven whitening. Improper application can also irritate the gums or cause enamel damage, increasing tooth sensitivity and leaving teeth vulnerable to decay. 

How the Teeth Bleaching Process Works

Consultation and Examination

We’ll conduct a thorough examination to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for whitening. To avoid complications, we’ll address any existing dental issues first.

Gums are Protected

To protect your gums and soft tissues during the procedure, a protective gel or barrier is carefully applied. This shields sensitive areas from the whitening agent and ensures comfort throughout the treatment.

Whitening Agent is Applied

A professional-grade bleaching gel containing hydrogen peroxide is applied to the surface of your teeth. This gel penetrates the enamel to break down stains and discolouration effectively

Bleaching Agent is Activated

A laser is used to activate the whitening gel, enhancing its effectiveness. This step helps the gel work faster and delivers more dramatic results in a shorter time.

Final Rinse and Results

Once the whitening process is complete, the gel is removed, and your teeth are rinsed. Our team will compare your results with the initial shade to show improvement and discuss tips for maintaining your new smile.

Improve the Appearance of Your Smile at Home

During your visit, we’ll take impressions of your teeth to create trays, which are designed to minimize gum contact and prevent leakage. The whitening gel is supplied in precise doses to ensure safe and consistent results. You’ll be instructed to wear the trays for a specific duration each day. The gradual approach allows for noticeable whitening over a week or two, with results comparable to in-office treatments when used as directed.

Book Touch-Up Appointments

It’s recommended that you continue booking touch-up appointments to maintain the whiteness of your teeth. Results can typically last 4-6 months before needing a touch-up.
