At Cambrian Dental Centre, we offer both in-office and take-home tooth whitening options. Our in-office treatment involves applying a whitening gel directly to your teeth and activating the gel with a special light. This process takes less than an hour and can lighten your teeth up to eight shades! Our take-home option involves custom-made trays that you can fill with whitening gel and wear for a specific amount of time each day. This option takes longer to achieve results, but it’s more convenient because you can do it in the comfort of your own home.

Before any tooth whitening service, our dentists will examine your teeth to ensure that you are a good candidate for the treatment. For example, if you have cavities, gum disease, or tooth decay, these issues must be addressed before tooth whitening. Additionally, tooth whitening is most effective on yellow or brown teeth and may not significantly lighten gray or blue hues.

It’s important to note that tooth whitening isn’t a permanent solution. Depending on your diet and lifestyle habits, your teeth may start to darken again over time. To maintain your bright smile, we recommend brushing and flossing regularly, avoiding foods and drinks that stain teeth (such as coffee and red wine), and scheduling regular dental cleanings.
