Teeth whitening refers to the use of concentrated bleaching agents applied to the surface of a tooth to lighten the colour. A consultation prior to treatment is recommended to discuss your expectations and current lifestyle, assess your dental history and determine the degree of tooth discolouration.

​

Common reasons teeth may be discoloured:

• Surface staining due to smoking

• Certain lifestyle choices

• Presence of plaque or generally poor oral     hygiene

• Medications such as antibiotics at a young age

There are two options for whitening treatment, commonly referred to as ‘take-home’ or ‘in-office’.

Take-home whitening procedure

Moulds ("impressions") of your upper and lower teeth are taken and used to make a plaster copy of your mouth.  A flexible fitted material is moulded onto the model to make your whitening trays.

The bleaching gel is placed inside the trays and worn for a specified period of time.

The use of the gel shows a noticeable change after some initial sessions, and will keep producing better results the longer it is used.

After an average 14-day treatment, shorter sessions periodically will maintain the lighter colour.

We charge $295 for the take-home whitening.  Nevertheless, costs are subject to change and results vary case-by-case so please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.
