Teeth Whitening
Want a brighter smile? Teeth whitening treatments can help—with options for every lifestyle.
Stains build slowly. You don’t always notice them until one day your smile feels… dull. Less white than you remember. Less like you.
Coffee, red wine, aging—they all play a role. But with dentist-guided whitening, it’s possible to lift years of discolouration safely and effectively. Whether you want a quick in-office boost or a gradual change at home, there’s a plan that fits your life, your teeth, and your comfort level.
And if you’ve ever felt self-conscious about wanting whiter teeth, know this: you’re not the only one. Most people want to feel a little brighter when they smile.
Not all stains are the same. Not all treatments are either.
Teeth naturally darken over time. But things like tobacco, coffee, medication, and even genetics can speed that up. Some stains sit on the surface. Others run deeper into the enamel. That’s why results can vary—and why having a dentist guide you matters.
Surface whiteners like toothpaste or whitening gum help with minor stains. But if you’re looking for a real lift, dentist-prescribed bleaching agents go deeper. They use safe concentrations of peroxide to lighten the internal colour of your teeth—not just polish what’s on the outside.
And your dentist can help you figure out what will actually work, based on the shade of your teeth and your overall oral health.
There are two main paths. Both are safe. Both work.
In-office whitening
This is the faster option. You sit back while your dentist applies a protective barrier, paints on the whitening gel, and activates it with a special light. It usually takes under an hour—and some people walk out with noticeable results after just one visit. Others may need a few.
You might feel some sensitivity after, especially with hot or cold drinks. That’s normal, and it usually fades quickly.
Take-home kits
Prefer a slower, at-home approach? Your dentist can make custom trays and give you a bleaching gel to use on your own schedule—typically 30 minutes a day for a week or two.
The results come in gradually, and the process is gentle. You still get dentist-grade whitening—just without the rush.
