Teeth Whitening in Toronto
Are you unhappy with the stained or discoloured appearance of your teeth? We can help you have a brighter, whiter smile by offering a variety of teeth-whitening options in Toronto. Over-the-counter teeth-whitening products may be inexpensive, but they do not give you the safety or amazing results you want and need. However, you can get those dazzling results when our dentist provides in-office or prescribed at-home whitening treatments.
In-Office Teeth Whitening Treatment in Toronto
Our dentist examines the colour of your teeth and evaluates your oral health before recommending the best method for whitening your teeth. Often, the best option is to have the procedure done in the dental office. A few examples where in-office treatment is the whitening option of choice are when:
- You have Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJD).
- You have dental veneers on some but not all of your teeth.
- You have stains in the deeper layers of your teeth.
- You want the most dramatic results possible.
The Teeth Whitening Process
Before we perform the whitening treatment, our dental hygienist cleans your teeth to ensure you get the maximum results possible. Next, your dentist places a protective shield over your gums to protect them from the substances used to whiten your teeth.
After we prepare your teeth for the procedure, your dentist carefully applies whitening gel to all the surfaces of your teeth. At that point, you wait 15 minutes for the gel to do its work. The dentist may use a laser or a special light to activate the oxygen in the gel better and produce a brighter result.
At the end of this whitening period, your dentist removes the gel and can repeat the process several times, depending on the amount of discolouration and the whitening results you expect. Also, we can send you home with at-home whitening products to maintain your beautiful smile.
Dentist Prescribed At-Home Whitening
Our dentists can prescribe in-home treatments if your teeth do not need as much whitening or if you want the convenience of whitening in your own home. We make impressions and send them to the laboratory so dental technicians can make custom whitening trays for you to use. We provide the products and tell you when and how long to use them. The entire process takes about two weeks. This procedure is affordable but still effective in producing whiter teeth.
Toronto Teeth Whitening Costs
Although a lot of people are interested in teeth whitening in Toronto, they are put off by the cost. To accurately calculate the Toronto teeth-whitening cost, you will need to factor in some variables. Things like the number of teeth that need whitening, the shade of whitening needed, the expertise of the dentist, and the location are some factors that influence the cost of the treatment.
Nonetheless, our dental team is ready to discuss Toronto teeth whitening costs and the payment options available to you during the consultation.
Who Can Have Teeth Whitening Treatments?
We provide dental whitening treatments for people of all ages in and out of our office. If the discolouration of your teeth is mild to moderate, we can likely perform the treatments to improve the whiteness of your teeth dramatically. If you have stains in the deeper layers of your teeth, we can use special products to give you cleaner-looking teeth.
Although a few dental and medical problems can make it difficult to undergo teeth whitening in Toronto, we can often overcome these problems with in-office treatments such as deep bleaching treatments. And, if your teeth need more than whitening, we can recommend other treatments to make your smile a lighter and more lustrous shade.
FAQs about teeth whitening in Toronto
1. How long do teeth whitening results last?
The results of professional teeth whitening in Toronto usually last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on your diet, lifestyle habits, and oral hygiene. Drinking coffee, tea, or red wine regularly can shorten the effect, while brushing and flossing daily helps extend it. At Downtown Dentistry, we can provide touch-up treatments or custom trays to maintain your brighter smile over time.
2. Is teeth whitening safe for my teeth and gums?
Yes. Professional teeth whitening performed by a Toronto dentist is considered safe when done under supervision. At Downtown Dentistry, our dentist uses protective shields to cover your gums during treatment and selects whitening methods suited to your oral health. This ensures both safety and effectiveness compared to store-bought kits.
3. Can teeth whitening work on crowns, veneers, or fillings?
Teeth whitening treatments are most effective on natural tooth enamel and will not change the colour of crowns, veneers, or fillings. At Downtown Dentistry, we examine your smile first and recommend options such as bonding or veneers if you want a consistent shade across all your teeth.
4. How much does professional teeth whitening cost in Toronto?
Toronto teeth whitening costs can vary based on the type of treatment, how many teeth require whitening, and the level of staining. At Downtown Dentistry, we discuss costs during your consultation and provide payment options to make treatment more manageable.
5. Will teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Some patients experience mild, temporary tooth sensitivity after whitening, but it usually resolves within a few days. Our Toronto dental team can adjust the strength of the whitening gel or recommend desensitizing products if needed.
6. Am I a good candidate for teeth whitening?
At Downtown Dentistry, Dr. Chan and her team evaluate your oral health, diet, medications, and even sleep habits to ensure whitening is the right choice. If deeper stains or other issues are present, we may suggest alternative cosmetic options for achieving your desired result.
7. What’s the difference between in-office and at-home whitening?
In-office teeth whitening delivers faster and more dramatic results, often in a single visit, while dentist-prescribed at-home whitening uses custom trays for gradual improvement over a couple of weeks. At Downtown Dentistry, we offer both options, giving you flexibility depending on your goals and schedule.
