Teeth Whitening

Brighten, Lighten and Whiten Your Teeth

Teeth whitening is a simple and very popular cosmetic dental treatment used to improve the colour of the natural tooth enamel. It’s a fast, safe and easy way to enhance your smile.

Whiten Your Teeth Two Ways

Teeth whitening at our Surrey dental clinic is available as an at-home kit or in-office treatment. Each option has different advantages and disadvantages – consult our dental team to determine which treatment is best for your needs.

Unlike some teeth whitening services found on daily deal sites, our dental clinic’s whitening systems are safely administered by experienced professionals, without any fine-print surprises or delays. Our services are reasonably priced, and come with peace of mind.

For in-office teeth whitening treatment our dental clinic utilizes the Opalescence Boost system. Advantages to Opalescence teeth whitening include:

Teeth will be whiter after one visit to the dentist
Treatment session takes approximately one hour
Teeth continue to whiten 12-24 hours after treatment (‘progressive whitening’)
No lasers or hot lights are required
Gel can be selectively applied to teeth if your teeth vary in discolouration
Teeth whitening formula contains fluoride and potassium nitrate to help reduce cavities and sensitivity, while increasing enamel hardness

Results are expected to last one to two years, depending on your personal habits and dental hygiene.

Keep your teeth white by brushing every day, booking regular dental cleanings, avoiding tobacco and limiting the consumption of food and drink that is known to stain teeth.

Common Questions

Should I whiten my teeth before or after other cosmetic improvements?

Answer

Whiten your teeth first. That way any additions, such as porcelain veneers or crowns will be matched to your whiter teeth.

How can bleaching your teeth be safe?

Answer

Research has shown that low concentrations of professionally-provided peroxide are safe when used as directed under the care of a dental professional.

What are the side effects from teeth whitening?

Answer

There can be side effects such as tooth sensitivity for some people if the peroxide in the whitener reaches the dentin and irritates the tooth’s nerve. Usually the sensitivity is only temporary. Overuse or misuse of whiteners can damage the tooth enamel, so it’s important to consult with your dental team before trying any type of teeth whitening.
