    When To Whiten?

    Teeth whitening will not modify the appearance of any crowns, bridges, veneers, and fillings. Therefore, our dentists would suggest whitening first in places where crowns, fillings, or veneers will be required in the near future. Our dentists are then able to match the colour effectively when performing the procedures mentioned previously.

    Professional teeth whitening removes stains and discolouration from not only the surfaces of teeth, but the areas from deep within.

    Why Teeth Become Stained Or Discoloured?

    Surface Stains: Our teeth are shielded by a layer of enamel, composed primarily of minerals, this is the hardest substance in the human anatomy.

    However, tooth enamel is also porous. Meaning tiny holes dot its surface, absorbing substances which stain your teeth, most notably:

    • Dark-coloured beverages including tea, coffee, wine, colas and fruit juices.
    • Dark-coloured sauces such as tomato and soy sauce.
    • Sugary beverages and foods.
    • Brightly coloured fruit such as berries, cherries and pomegranates.
    • Tobacco products including smoking and chewing.
    • Poor nutrition and oral hygiene are also leading factors of discolouration.

    As mentioned above, discolouration also occurs within the inner portion of the tooth- the layer just below the enamel. In its natural state, this layer has a yellow or grayish hue and as someone ages the enamel deteriorates exposing the true colour beneath. This leads to many smiles appearing dingy and dull as they age. Illnesses, injury, or medications may also contribute to discolouration

    Top Teeth Whitening Options

    Teeth whitening is the perfect alternative for lightening the natural colour of your teeth without relying on more invasive and demanding procedures like veneers. Undergoing teeth whitening at our office or carefully following the instructions in your take-home kit will yield radiant results without any lasting sensitivity.

    Professional Whitening Treatment

    We recommend many patients invest in professional in-office treatments, as it best suits the criteria needed to whiten their smiles. During an in-office whitening, a bleaching solution is carefully applied to the surface of the teeth using uniquely designed trays. Once the trays are set in place, a laser is utilized to softly heat the solution, activating oxygen molecules which directly penetrate enamel to remove stains. Not only does teeth whitening offer immediate results, it reduces the risk of gum irritation and sensitivity.

     

    Take-home Teeth Whitening Kit

    For those who have a preference to whiten their smiles in the comfort and solitude of their own homes, we offer customized take-home whitening kits. These kits are equipped with customized application trays which hug the natural contours and grooves of your teeth. Acting as a blueprint to the unique details of your teeth, this allows for the consistent and complete whitening of your enamel. Contrast to store-bought kits, our whitening trays are crafted from actual models of your teeth, yielding more successful results and reducing the risks of irritation and sensitivity. Remember, take-home kits work to gradually lighten enamel over the course of three to four weeks.

    Cost Of Professional Teeth Whitening In Hamilton

    Teeth whitening treatments performed by dental professionals in office can cost in the bracket of $600 to $1200 depending on various factors. A take-home kit provides more affordability and may be more comfortable for some patients, while still providing guidance from dental professionals as well. It usually costs between $300 to $600, depending on individual needs.

    Why is there such a steep difference in cost? Consider the pros and cons between in-office whitening, take-home kits and over-the-counter whitening:

    In-office whitening:

    • Performed by experienced dental professionals.
    • Extremely accurate, greatly reducing irritation and long-lasting sensitivity.
    • While in office, we are better equipped to utilize stronger and more effective whitening agents.
    • Yields the quickest results.

    Take-home kits:

    • Under the care and guidance of professionals, we are able to dispense whitening agents which are more effective than the drugstore over-the-counter options.
    • Noticeably whiter teeth in weeks, not months.
    • Custom-made trays are easy to apply, reduce the risk of gum irritation and result in an even application of the whitening agent.
    • Can be applied in the comfort of your own home, and flexible to the demands of your busy schedule.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Plaque forms when bacteria from food and drink particles build up. Over time, plaque hardens to form tartar, which can only be successfully removed by a dentist or hygienist. This yellow coating can form on or around your teeth if you don’t have routine professional checkups and secondly, follow that up with thorough daily brushes at home.

    The process is definitely safe; however, you may still experience some oral sensitivity. This can arise on your first or second treatment, and may diminish over time. It is crucial to always follow the guidelines associated with your take-home kit or over-the-counter products.

    If you have any crowns, veneers, or fillings on your front teeth, they will not change colour as a result of the whitening process. However, whitening the surrounding teeth may make the crowns and fillings stand out.

    Most insurance companies do not cover teeth whitening services. We encourage you to contact your insurance provider to check if they do just in case. Regardless, we will gladly provide an estimate for you to submit to your provider.

    After a teeth whitening treatment, please avoid any foods or drinks that would leave a stain on a white shirt. As highlighted above, dark staining drinks like tea, coffee, red wine, coloured soft or alcoholic drinks and fruit juice. You should also avoid foods like tomato sauce, curry, soy sauce, red meat, chocolate and all fruits…except bananas!

    Depending on the type of procedure you underwent and how well you maintain your teeth afterwards, the results can last for anywhere from 6 months to 3 years.
