Teeth Whitening in Vancouver
Brighten Your Smile Safely and Effectively
Over time, teeth naturally darken due to factors like coffee, tea, tobacco use, certain medications, excessive fluoride, and aging. If you are not satisfied with the color of your teeth but prefer to avoid veneers or crowns, teeth whitening offers a fast, non-invasive solution.
At Cambie Marine Gateway Dental, we provide multiple options to help you achieve a noticeably whiter, brighter smile.
Teeth Whitening Options Available
We offer several professional teeth whitening solutions to match your goals, timeline, and budget:
In-Office Whitening
If you are looking for immediate results, our enhanced Laser Whitening System can whiten your teeth in just one visit.
Here’s what you can expect:
- A professional-grade hydrogen peroxide bleaching agent is applied to your teeth.
- A laser light accelerates the whitening process, offering faster and more effective results with minimal impact on enamel.
- Your gums are protected with a rubber shield or special gel to prevent irritation.
- The procedure typically lasts between one to one and a half hours.
Laser whitening technology provides superior results compared to traditional light-based methods, allowing you to enjoy a noticeably whiter smile quickly and safely.
At-Home Whitening Kits
For those who prefer to whiten their teeth at home, we offer dentist-supervised kits that deliver professional-grade results with the convenience of at-home use.
At-home whitening involves:
- A custom-fitted mouthguard provided by our team.
- A carbamide peroxide gel applied inside the tray.
- Flexible treatment schedules, including overnight options or twice-daily use depending on your needs.
Our team will guide you in choosing the right duration and intensity for your at-home whitening plan.
How Teeth Whitening Works
Both in-office and at-home whitening products work through oxidation.
The active ingredient, hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, breaks down into water and oxygen radicals. These radicals weaken the molecular bonds of stains, allowing the natural whiteness of your tooth enamel to shine through.
Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?
Teeth whitening is a safe and popular form of cosmetic dentistry.
According to the American Dental Association, over 96% of users report a whiter, more attractive smile after treatment.
However, whitening is not suitable for everyone.
Important considerations:
- Tooth-colored fillings, crowns, or veneers will not bleach and may appear darker next to newly whitened natural teeth.
- If you have sensitive teeth or gum issues, certain whitening methods may not be recommended.
Before beginning treatment, our team at Cambie Marine Gateway Dental will assess your oral health and discuss the best options for your unique situation.
