Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening in a dental office offers many benefits, including immediate results. Find out more here.

Teeth Whitening for a Better Smile

One of the first things people notice is your smile. White teeth can create a good first impression. An in-office teeth whitening session at Versante Dental in Mississauga, Ontario, can offer immediate, noticeable results. It is a safe way to get the smile you want.

Teeth Whitening at Home

Many people looking for brighter teeth try at-home whitening kits. They offer some results but often take repeated treatments over three days to achieve anything noticeable. Results don’t last as long as an in-office treatment either. Here are the major differences:
Checkmark

At-home kits are not as effective as in-office teeth whitening.

Checkmark

You will need to whiten again in about six months after using an at-home kit, while in-office teeth whitening treatments last a year to three years.

Checkmark

Some at-home whitening kits can harm tooth enamel if used too often.

Why Dental Office Teeth Whitening Works

Checkmark

The primary reason that dental office teeth whitening is more effective than at-home kits is that the whitening product dentists use has a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide.

Checkmark

At-home kits are limited in the amount of hydrogen peroxide they contain because it takes education and training to use hydrogen peroxide safely.

Checkmark

Our dentists at Versante Dental are trained to ensure teeth whitening sessions are safe and deliver satisfying results.

Expectations in a Teeth Whitening Session

Our teeth whitening sessions at Versante Dental offer a more spa-like experience than a dental visit. Our dentist will examine your teeth and help you choose an achievable shade that removes stains and highlights your teeth. There are dozens of shades to choose from, so we can find the one that suits you. The whitening gel is applied to your teeth with a brush or sponge. The final step is to sit under a curing light to activate the whitening agent. Afterward, you can view the results. For some with deep stains, another visit may be necessary.

Taking Care of Your Brighter Teeth

Our dentist always advises making a few lifestyle changes to keep your teeth whiter and brighter over time. Stopping smoking can make a big difference, and limiting staining foods like red wine helps. Investing in your dental hygiene with a good soft-bristled toothbrush or electric toothbrush can also be beneficial. Sometimes, a dentist may give you a take-home tray to maintain your white smile longer between whitening visits.
