Do You Long for a Brighter Smile?

Has your smile dulled over the years?
Have years of smoking, drinking coffee, tea, wine etc, discoloured your teeth?
Fortunately, dentistry has a solution for your yellowing teeth!

Tooth whitening has become popular with the rise of personal appearance television shows and over the counter solutions.

What are some causes of Tooth Discolouration?

Drinking coffee, tea, wine or soft drinks stains teeth
Natural aging – the dentin underneath the enamel of a tooth darkens
Smoking or any tobacco use stains teeth
Accidents – a dead nerve will darken a tooth

Is Whitening Safe?
Whitening is very safe!
Tooth Whitening is a process that restores stained or discoloured teeth to a healthy, natural colour. Our office uses advanced procedures that are not available over the counter.

Is Whitening For Me?
We will evaluate your teeth to determine whether whitening is right for you. Sometimes we may recommend a different cosmetic procedure which would better meet your expectations.

Are There Any Side-Effects?
Some patients may experience heightened tooth sensitivity or mild tooth or gum sensitivity during treatment, but these symptoms are only temporary and disappear shortly after the treatment is completed.

Feel free to ask us about professional tooth whitening as well as over the counter agents.

We'd be happy to compare treatments and help you decide which treatment will be most effective for you.
