Professional teeth whitening can help lift stains, brighten your smile, and also protect your enamel. Our team is here to help you to achieve whiter and natural-looking teeth. We discuss your goals and recommend a whitening approach that works best for your smile and lifestyle.

What Causes Tooth Discolouration?

Tooth discolouration happens gradually and can affect almost anyone over time. However, not all stains remain on the surface of the teeth; many others develop deeper inside the enamel as we age. Here are the common causes:

Red wine
Coffee and tea
Tobacco use or smoking
Aging and natural enamel wear
Some medications or previous dental trauma
Certain foods and drinks with strong pigments

Professional Teeth Whitening Options

There are several ways to whiten your teeth, and not all of them may be suitable for every patient. Your goals, timeline, and tooth sensitivity are all factors we review together during your consultation to determine the most suitable option for you.

In-Office Laser Whitening

If you’re looking for the fastest way to noticeably brighten your smile, this option is your best bet. For in-office laser whitening, we use a professional whitening gel combined with specialized light technology to lift stains more effectively than store-bought products. This procedure is completed in a single visit, and many patients see a visible difference after treatment.

Custom Take-Home Trays

For patients who prefer a more gradual approach, custom take-home whitening trays offer a convenient way to achieve predictable results. We create trays designed specifically for your teeth that help the whitening gel spread evenly. This can also reduce gum irritation. Most patients wear the trays daily for one to two weeks.

The table below shows the differences in teeth whitening options at a glance:

METHOD	SPEED	LONGEVITY	BEST FOR
In-office laser	~1 hr, immediate	2-5 years	Fast, dramatic results
Take-home trays	1-2 weeks	2-5 years	Sensitive teeth, gradual whitening
Over-the-counter	Days-weeks	Months	Minor surface stains

How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last?

The general lifespan of professional teeth whitening results is 2 to 5 years. However, it highly depends on your habits and oral care routine. For example, if you drink less coffee, tea, and red wine, avoid tobacco, and maintain regular dental cleanings, you can help keep your smile brighter for longer. Furthermore, occasional touch-up treatments also help maintain your results over time.

Teeth Whitening Cost in Delta

Since whitening is considered a cosmetic dental treatment, it is usually not covered by dental insurance. The Canadian Dental Care Plan also excludes this service from its coverage list. During your visit, we’ll explain the cost based on the type of treatment you choose and the level of whitening you want to achieve.

Benefits of Professional Whitening

Professional teeth whitening offers several advantages beyond simply making your teeth look brighter.

More noticeable results: Professional products are stronger and more effective than store-bought alternatives.

Reduced sensitivity: Professional options are designed to minimize discomfort whenever possible.

Boosted confidence: A brighter smile often helps patients feel more comfortable in social and professional settings.

Safer treatment: Your dentist monitors the process carefully to protect your teeth and gums.

Even whitening: Custom treatment helps avoid patchy or uneven results.

Personalized care: Your treatment is tailored to your smile goals, oral health, and sensitivity level.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is teeth whitening safe and will it hurt?

Professional teeth whitening is generally very safe when performed under dental supervision. Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity afterward, but this usually fades within a few days.

Does whitening work on crowns and veneers?

Teeth whitening works on natural tooth enamel but does not change the colour of crowns, veneers, or fillings.

How white will my teeth get?

Results vary from person to person depending on the type and depth of staining. Most of our patients notice their teeth becoming several shades brighter after professional whitening.
