Teeth Whitening
If you are looking to brighten your smile, professional teeth whitening can be a safe and effective way to reduce staining and lighten the natural colour of your teeth.
At Newmarket Dental Health, we provide custom take-home teeth whitening kits. Your whitening trays are made specifically for your teeth, allowing the whitening gel to be applied evenly and comfortably.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Over time, teeth can become discoloured or stained due to a variety of factors. Common causes include:
- Coffee, tea, red wine, and other beverages
- Certain foods
- Smoking and tobacco use
- Aging
- Natural changes in the colour of the teeth
- Certain medications or medical treatments
- Trauma or changes that occurred while the teeth were developing
Professional whitening works by using a whitening gel to lighten the colour of your natural teeth and reduce certain types of staining.
The results of whitening can vary from person to person depending on the natural colour of your teeth, the type and severity of staining, and other individual factors.
Our Custom Take-Home Whitening Process
Your whitening treatment is customized to fit your teeth and your needs.
- Dental Assessment
Before beginning whitening, your dentist will assess your teeth and gums to determine whether whitening is appropriate for you. Any existing dental concerns may need to be addressed before whitening treatment begins. - Custom Whitening Trays
We will take impressions of your teeth and send them to our dental laboratory, where your custom whitening trays will be fabricated.Because the trays are made specifically for your teeth, they provide a close and comfortable fit and help keep the whitening gel in contact with the tooth surfaces. - Whitening Kit and Instructions
Once your custom trays are ready, we will provide you with your whitening kit and demonstrate how to properly apply the whitening gel.
Our team will explain:
- How much whitening gel to use
- How to place the gel in your trays
- How long to wear the trays
- How frequently to use them
- How to clean and care for your trays
- How to store your whitening kit
Following the instructions provided by our dental team is important to achieve the best possible results while minimizing the risk of tooth sensitivity or gum irritation.
What Can I Expect From Teeth Whitening?
Whitening results vary between individuals. Some patients notice a difference relatively quickly, while others may require a longer period of treatment to achieve their desired level of whitening.
It is also important to understand that whitening only changes the colour of natural teeth. Existing crowns, bridges, veneers, fillings, and other dental restorations will not whiten in the same way as natural tooth structure.
Your dentist can discuss your expectations and let you know whether whitening is likely to achieve the result you are looking for.
Is Teeth Whitening Right for Me?
Teeth whitening is not appropriate for everyone. A dental examination allows us to identify any cavities, gum problems, worn enamel, or other dental concerns that should be addressed before whitening.
If you are interested in brightening your smile, we would be happy to assess your teeth and discuss whether our custom take-home whitening treatment is right for you.
