Teeth Whitening
At Windsor Dental Centre, your smile is our priority! Located in the heart of Windsor, Ontario, we offer professional teeth whitening services at our dental clinic that are designed to enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence.
Teeth whitening is used to fix any discolouration on your teeth caused by stains. Staining can be caused by a variety of different things: beverages (tea, coffee, wine, sodas), aging, medications, trauma, disease, genetics, tobacco, and insufficient oral hygiene.
Professional whitening effectively addresses intrinsic staining, which occurs within the tooth, making it more challenging to remove than extrinsic staining. Extrinsic stains, often yellow or brown, reside on the tooth’s surface and can usually be eliminated through polishing or a thorough cleaning by your hygienist. Intrinsic staining, on the other hand, requires specialized whitening treatments to achieve a radiant smile.
Options For Teeth Whitening
Custom Whitening Trays:
Our take-home whitening kits come with custom whitening trays, a whitening syringe, desensitising gel, and a convenient tray case. We create personalized impressions of your teeth to fabricate trays that allow for the use of a higher-concentration whitening gel, providing quicker results. Unlike whitening strips that can come into contact with your gums and cause irritation, our trays isolate the gel to your teeth, ensuring a safer and more effective whitening experience.
Philips Zoom Whitening:
Zoom whitening is an in-office professional treatment performed by our dental hygienist in just one visit, providing you with immediate results. This procedure utilizes a high concentration of peroxide-based bleaching gel to effectively eliminate stains and discolouration, unveiling a radiant, whiter smile on the same day!
Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening
Thinking about enhancing your smile? Below are some of the most common questions our patients ask about professional teeth whitening.
What causes teeth to become discolored?
Discoloration is often caused by beverages like coffee, tea, and wine, as well as aging, genetics, tobacco use, and certain medications.
What is the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic staining?
Extrinsic stains are on the tooth’s surface and can be removed by cleaning. Intrinsic stains are deeper within the tooth, requiring a professional whitening treatment to remove.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, our professional teeth whitening procedures are a safe and effective way to enhance your smile. Our custom trays ensure the whitening gel only contacts your teeth, preventing gum irritation.
How long will my teeth whitening results last?
The longevity of your whitening results depends on your lifestyle. To keep your smile looking its best, we recommend avoiding foods and drinks that cause staining, such as coffee, tea, and red wine. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene and scheduling regular dental cleanings will also help preserve your bright new smile for as long as possible.
