Professional teeth whitening can give you a brighter, whiter smile than what you can get with over the counter treatments. At Dentistry on the Pines we offer professional whitening procedures that give you results that last and are safe and comfortable for you throughout the process. We’d like to explain what makes professional teeth whitening different and why so many people in Vaughan choose this method to improve their looks.

The main difference between professional and over the counter whitening is the strength and quality of the bleaching agents used. Professional whitening products have way more hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide than over the counter treatments are allowed to have. This means professional treatments can get deeper into the enamel of the teeth and remove tough stains more effectively. Our take home kits can get the job done in less time than pharmacy strips which can take weeks or months. Teeth Whitening brightens the smile by removing stubborn stains and discoloration. This quick and effective treatment helps patients achieve a noticeably whiter appearance.

A full check up of your oral health is the first step in professional teeth whitening. Before we recommend any whitening treatment we check your teeth and gums to see if there are any problems that could compromise the procedure or the results. Before whitening you should fix any cavities, gum disease, damaged enamel or exposed roots to avoid pain and get the best results. You can’t get this kind of thorough evaluation when you buy a whitening kit off the shelf. When we whiten your teeth in the office we take extra care to protect your gums, lips and other sensitive tissues from the strong bleaching agents. Before we put the whitening solution on your teeth we put barriers or protective gels on specific areas. This careful work eliminates discomfort and chemical burns that can happen when the whitening gel touches sensitive areas. We can use stronger whitening products in the dental clinic because it’s a controlled environment.

Customization is one of the best things about professional whitening. Everyone’s teeth are different, with different colours, levels of staining and sensitivity. We customize the treatment to fit your needs and goals by changing the amount of whitening gel, how long the treatment lasts and how it’s applied. We can adjust if you have teeth that are more sensitive than others or spots of discolouration that won’t go away. You can’t get this kind of personalized attention with store bought products that work for everyone.

The custom trays make a big difference in the results for patients who choose our take home professional whitening kits. These trays are made from exact impressions of your teeth which ensures the whitening gel stays in contact with all of your teeth while touching your gums as little as possible. Drugstore kits’ generic trays don’t fit well and can cause uneven whitening, wasted gel and higher chance of gum discomfort. Porcelain Veneers are thin, custom-made shells placed over the front of teeth to improve shape, color, and alignment. Many individuals choose Porcelain Veneers for a long-lasting, flawless smile transformation.

Having a professional watch over you during your whitening journey gives you peace of mind and better results. If you have any questions, issues or problems with sensitivity we’re here to help you and make any changes you need. This ongoing support ensures you’re happy with your treatment and using the products correctly for the best results.

Another benefit of whitening at Dentistry on the Pines is we can tell you when whitening isn’t the best way to achieve your goals. Bleaching doesn’t work well on some types of tooth discolouration. Some drugs, fluorosis or developmental problems can cause intrinsic stains that may require other cosmetic treatments such as veneers or bonding. We’ll be honest about what whitening can really do for you and recommend other options if they make sense. Professional whitening gives you more dramatic and longer lasting results than over the counter treatments. People in Vaughan who choose professional treatment see their teeth become several shades lighter and get the bright, confident smile they’ve always wanted. These results can last for years if you maintain them and touch them up every now and then.

Professional whitening also comes with instructions on how to take care of your teeth after. We give you step by step instructions on how to care for your newly whitened smile, what foods and drinks to avoid and how to deal with any temporary sensitivity. This comprehensive approach ensures you get the most out of your investment.
