Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Everyone’s teeth are unique. Factors like age, lifestyle, diet, and medications can all impact the health and appearance of your teeth and gums. What works for one person might not work for you, and some over-the-counter products may even harm your gums.
Professional teeth whitening offers several clear advantages over store-bought solutions:
- Tailored to Your Needs: During your teeth whitening consultation, we take the time to understand your concerns, goals, and expectations. After a thorough examination of your teeth and gums, we recommend the most suitable whitening treatment to match your desired results and oral health.
- Performed by Experts: Our team is specially trained in advanced whitening techniques and products. We ensure the procedure is done safely, with your well-being as our priority.
- Dramatic Results: We use prescription-strength whitening solutions containing the most effective agents available to achieve a noticeable improvement in the brightness of your smile.
- Instant Results: Only professional whitening can deliver significant results in as little as one hour, giving you a whiter smile immediately.
- Even Whitening: Unlike over-the-counter products, which often lead to patchy results, we ensure an even whitening of your teeth. Whitening strips, for example, can miss areas, but our precise method covers every contour for a consistent, bright smile.
- Enhanced Comfort: Our whitening procedure includes the use of a laser, reducing any sensitivity or irritation that can occur with other treatments.
A qualified dentist is the only person who can assess your oral health and recommend the safest, most effective whitening treatment for you. Contact us today to schedule your consultation!

When to whiten?
When to Whiten?
Teeth whitening will not change the appearance of crowns, bridges, veneers, or fillings. For the best results, it’s recommended to whiten your teeth before getting these treatments if they are planned in the near future. This allows our dentists to match the colour of any future dental work to your newly whitened teeth.
Professional teeth whitening can effectively remove stains and discolouration from both the surface and deeper layers of your teeth.

Why Do Teeth Become Stained or Discoloured?
Tooth enamel, the outer layer of your teeth, is made up of minerals and is the hardest substance in the body. Despite its strength, enamel is porous, which means it can absorb substances that cause staining, such as:
- Dark beverages like tea, coffee, wine, cola, and fruit juices
- Dark sauces like tomato and soy sauce
- Sugary drinks and foods
- Brightly coloured fruits like berries, cherries, and pomegranates
- Tobacco products
Additionally, poor nutrition and inadequate oral hygiene can contribute to tooth discolouration.
Deep Stains
Discolouration can also occur in the inner part of the tooth, just beneath the enamel. This layer of the tooth is naturally yellow or grey. As we age, enamel naturally wears down, allowing the yellowish or greyish hue of the inner tooth layer to show through, making teeth appear dull or less vibrant. Factors such as medications, illness, or injury can also affect the colour of the inner tooth layer.
Best Teeth Whitening Options
Teeth whitening is an excellent way to brighten your smile and restore the natural colour of your teeth, all without the need for more invasive treatments like veneers. Whether you choose to whiten your teeth in our office or follow the instructions with your customized take-home kit, you can expect noticeable results without experiencing lasting sensitivity.
Professional In-Office Teeth Whitening
For those looking for quick and noticeable results, professional in-office teeth whitening is the most effective option. During the procedure, a specially formulated bleaching solution is applied to your teeth using custom-designed trays. A laser is then used to gently heat the solution, activating oxygen molecules that penetrate the enamel and lift stubborn stains. This method offers immediate results and helps reduce the risks of sensitivity and gum irritation.
At-Home Teeth Whitening Kits
If you prefer to whiten your teeth at your own pace, we offer customized take-home whitening kits. These kits come with trays that are uniquely moulded to the shape of your teeth, ensuring a snug fit for even and consistent whitening. Unlike over-the-counter options, our custom trays help minimize the risk of sensitivity and irritation. Gradually, over three to four weeks, you’ll notice a brighter smile as the whitening solution works to lighten your enamel.
