When to Whiten?
It’s recommended to whiten your teeth before any dental treatments like crowns, bridges, veneers, or fillings, as these do not change colour with whitening. By doing this, your dentist can ensure the new dental work matches your brightened teeth for a harmonious appearance.
This procedure effectively eliminates both surface stains and deep-seated discolouration, restoring the natural brightness of your teeth.

Why Teeth Become Stained or Discoloured?
Surface Stains: Tooth enamel, the hardest substance in your body, is primarily made of minerals that protect your teeth. Over time, this enamel can develop surface stains.
- Dark-coloured beverages like tea, coffee, wine, colas, and fruit juices
- Dark-coloured sauces such as tomato and soy sauce
- Sugary drinks and foods
- Brightly coloured fruits like berries, cherries, and pomegranates
- Tobacco products
- Poor nutrition and oral hygiene can also contribute to tooth discolouration.
However, enamel is also porous, meaning it contains tiny holes that absorb substances, leading to stains from:
Deep Stains: Located just beneath the enamel, the inner layer of the tooth is naturally yellow or grey. Over time, as the enamel thins, this inner layer becomes more apparent, causing teeth to lose their brightness. Additionally, factors like medications, illnesses, and injuries can lead to discolouration in this deeper part of the tooth.
Top Teeth Whitening Options
Lightening your teeth can be achieved without invasive methods like veneers. Using our take-home kit with clear guidelines or opting for a professional whitening session at our office can deliver excellent results without causing prolonged sensitivity.
Professional Whitening Treatment
During an in-office teeth whitening treatment, a bleaching solution is applied to your teeth using specially crafted trays. A laser then gently heats the solution, activating oxygen molecules that penetrate the enamel to remove stains. This method offers immediate results and can also help minimize sensitivity and gum irritation. For most patients, this professional approach is the most effective way to achieve whiter teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Even with regular brushing, yellow teeth can result from plaque build-up. When food and drink particles aren’t fully removed, bacteria form plaque that eventually hardens into tartar. Tartar, which appears yellow, can only be eliminated by a dentist or hygienist. Inadequate or infrequent brushing can lead to this yellowish layer forming on your teeth.
Teeth whitening is usually safe, though some people may experience temporary sensitivity, particularly during the first few treatments. This sensitivity often decreases with time. It’s important to follow the instructions provided with your take-home kit or over-the-counter products carefully to minimize any risks.
Whitening treatments do not change the colour of crowns, veneers, or fillings on your front teeth. As a result, whitening the surrounding natural teeth may cause these restorations to stand out.
Insurance plans rarely cover teeth whitening. We can provide you with an estimate to submit to your insurance provider. For more specific details, it’s best to contact your insurance company directly to inquire about coverage options.
To maintain your bright smile after whitening, steer clear of items that can stain your teeth. Avoid dark-coloured drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, soft drinks, alcohol, and fruit juices. Also, try to limit foods like curry, tomato sauce, soy sauce, red meat, chocolate, and all fruits except bananas.
Teeth whitening results can last anywhere from 6 months to 3 years, depending on the type of treatment and your dental care habits. The longevity of the whitening effect largely hinges on how well you maintain your teeth.
