Teeth Whitening Ajax
Teeth Whitening Ajax
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic technique that can significantly brighten your smile by lightening the shade of your teeth and removing stains or discoloration caused by aging, medications, and lifestyle factors such as drinking coffee, tea, wine, or smoking. Although highly effective, the whitening results are not permanent, and routine touch-up procedures may be necessary to maintain your desired shade over time.
At Rossland Landing Dental Care, we offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening options. To ensure you achieve the best results, our dentists will take before-and-after photos of your teeth, allowing you to track your progress and visually compare the improvements throughout your treatment.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Our in-office teeth whitening is a fast, convenient way to achieve a smile that’s several shades lighter. Using advanced whitening technology, this treatment can brighten your teeth by six to ten shades in a single visit. The procedure involves applying a special hydrogen peroxide whitening gel to your teeth, which is then activated by a light or laser to accelerate the bleaching process. The entire procedure typically takes 30 to 90 minutes and may require multiple sessions depending on the level of discoloration and the desired result.
What to Expect:
Before the procedure, we protect your gums and lips to minimize sensitivity while keeping your teeth exposed. During the session, the gel is applied in 15-minute increments, with the light activating the whitening ingredients to break down stains on both the enamel and dentin. After the final application, your dentist may apply a fluoride gel to help reduce any post-treatment sensitivity.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
For those who prefer the flexibility of whitening their teeth at home, we provide custom take-home whitening kits. These kits include custom-made trays and a supply of whitening gel containing hydrogen peroxide. After taking an impression of your teeth to create the trays, you'll receive instructions on how and when to use the gel at home for optimal results. Typically, you will wear the trays for a set period each day, following the dosage recommended by your dentist to prevent gum irritation or sensitivity.
Customized for You:
Our take-home whitening treatments are tailored to your specific needs, ensuring effective results while protecting the health of your teeth and gums. This option allows for gradual whitening, with noticeable improvements after a few applications.
Maintaining Your Whitening Results
After your treatment, it’s important to follow certain aftercare steps to preserve the brightness of your smile. Limiting foods and drinks that can stain your teeth—like coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco—is essential for long-lasting results. Our dentists will also provide you with a Zoom touch-up kit for use at home, helping you maintain the effects of the whitening treatment.
Regular brushing, flossing, and six-month dental cleanings are recommended to prevent future staining.
Risks and Precautions
Both in-office and at-home whitening treatments can cause temporary tooth sensitivity, which usually subsides within a few days. If you are concerned about sensitivity, consult with our team—we can recommend an anti-sensitivity toothpaste before starting the treatment.
Important Considerations:
Teeth whitening is not recommended for children under 13, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, or patients with certain dental conditions. Your dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and gums to determine if whitening is a suitable option for you.
