What to Expect from a Teeth Whitening Treatment

Depending on your needs and preferences, you might prefer an in-office or take-home whitening treatment. In-office whitening typically involves applying a professional whitening gel, which is activated or left on for a set amount of time. Take-home kits include custom trays and gel that you use at home for gradual whitening.

All teeth are different and can respond differently to whitening treatments. Fillings, crowns, and veneers can’t be whitened during this process, but they can be replaced to match the new shade of your teeth.

What Causes Teeth Discolouration?

\If you’ve noticed your teeth appear more yellowed, have dark flecks or white spots, or are generally less bright, there are several potential causes. Visiting your dental clinic for your regularly scheduled exam and teeth cleaning can help brighten things up.

A teeth whitening treatment can make even more of a difference, especially when combined with healthy oral habits. Stains and discolouration can typically be categorized into 3 different types: extrinsic, intrinsic, and age-related.

Extrinsic

Extrinsic discolouration includes stains that affect only the surface of the tooth or the tooth enamel. This typically comes from:

Food such as red sauces or chocolate
Beverages such as coffee, red wine, and tea
Tobacco in the form of cigarettes or chewing tobacco

Intrinsic

Intrinsic stains are caused by something going wrong within the tooth. These teeth often look more grey in colour. These stains can come from:

Certain medications
An injury to the tooth
Tooth decay
Excessive amounts of fluoride
Genetics
Certain diseases

Age-Related

Your tooth enamel wears down over time, allowing staining or yellowing to occur. While this change is often considered an unavoidable part of life, teeth whitening may help.

Age-related discolouration can also come from a combination of extrinsic and intrinsic factors.

Freshen Up Your Smile

A teeth whitening treatment typically takes 30–60 minutes to perform, and you can leave our office with noticeable results. Book your whitening treatment today and put on your best smile.
