How long do the effects of teeth whitening last?

Whitening is not permanent. Beverages such as coffee and wine, and certain foods, such as those that contain turmeric, can stain the teeth. Depending on diet, the effects of whitening may last longer for some people than others. If you maintain a healthy oral hygiene routine, you may just desire a touch-up after one year or so.

Does insurance cover the cost of teeth whitening?

Dental insurance does not typically cover the cost of teeth whitening.

Does teeth whitening make teeth more sensitive?

One short-term side effect of teeth whitening may be sensitivity. For most patients, this fades away within a few days following a whitening session. To minimize any discomfort, we recommend that you use an anti-sensitivity toothpaste before treatment, and for at least two weeks following your treatment.

Do teeth whitening products work on all stains?

Typically, brown, and yellow-coloured stains respond best to teeth whitening treatments. Some stains tend not to respond to whitening treatments at all. If having a whiter smile is important to you but your teeth have non-responsive stains, your dentist may recommend other cosmetic treatments such as dental crowns or veneers that may be a better fit for you.

What are the benefits of teeth whitening?

Your smile is one of the first things that people notice about you. Having a brighter smile can boost your confidence and self-esteem. Plus, when you feel better about how your smile looks, you'll be more motivated to take care of it! This can have a positive impact on your oral health and overall wellbeing.

Does teeth whitening work on dental restorations?

Unfortunately not. Teeth whitening only works on natural teeth and will not work on existing dental restorations such as fillings, crowns, or veneers. If crowns or veneers are part of your treatment plan, teeth whitening should take place before you receive your dental restorations.

Will teeth whitening damage my tooth enamel?

When used as directed under the supervision of a qualified dentist, teeth whitening is very unlikely to damage your dental enamel. Always consult with your dentist to ensure you are using any teeth whitening products safely. If you experience any pain, sensitivity, or discomfort anywhere in your mouth, let your dentist know right away. Even if it’s not related to whitening, they will be able to help.

What is Professional Teeth Whitening?

Over time, our teeth naturally darken as they become stained and discoloured, both inside the tooth and on the surface. Many factors can cause the discolouration of your teeth, including:

Foods and beverages like coffee and red wine
Smoking
Lack of dental hygiene upkeep

Professional teeth whitening can be a safe and effective way to help whiten and brighten your smile. The process is simple, non-invasive, and can change the colour of your natural tooth by targeting and removing stains.

The team at Lakewood Dental Centre can help you determine if whitening your teeth is right for you.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

At Lakewood Dental Centre, we offer professional in-office teeth whitening to help brighten your smile safely and efficiently.

Using a peroxide-based gel designed to break down stain molecules, this treatment can help reduce discolouration and reveal a whiter, brighter-looking smile. Many patients find that improving the appearance of their teeth helps them feel more confident and encourages better oral hygiene habits.

The process begins with the application of a protective barrier to your gums. Next, a high-concentration whitening gel is carefully applied to each tooth. The entire procedure is performed under the supervision of our dental team to help ensure your comfort. By the end of your appointment, your teeth may appear visibly whiter.
