Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening Services in Mississauga

As we age, our teeth naturally become darker. Certain lifestyle habits, such as smoking and consuming tea, coffee, and red wine, can also lead to surface stains on the teeth. While these changes are normal and do not necessarily indicate poor dental health, many people wish to brighten their smiles. Fortunately, teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that a general dentist can perform to quickly remove unsightly stains and whiten your teeth without damaging your enamel. Unlike over-the-counter whitening kits, which can cause burns and dental issues, professional teeth whitening at a dental office is both safe and effective.

How is Teeth Whitening Performed?

Professional teeth whitening can be done in-office by our dental team or through custom-fitted take-home whitening trays. Both options are quick and affordable.

If you opt for in-office whitening, we will apply a hydrogen peroxide gel to your teeth and use a UV lamp to expedite the whitening process. Most patients achieve optimal whitening results in just one visit.

For those who prefer to whiten their teeth at home, we start by taking an impression of your teeth to create custom-fitted trays. You will need to wear these trays for about 30 minutes per day for a week to achieve a whiter smile.
