Teeth Whitening in South Vancouver
Whiten Your Smile, Boost Your Confidence
There’s something captivating about a confident smile. Our goal is to give you the gift of that confidence by helping you achieve a whiter, brighter smile. While regular brushing and dental hygiene appointments can help remove surface stains, more dramatic whitening results come from professional whitening services.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
There are so many reasons people come to us for a whiter smile, from preparing for a significant life event to gaining more confidence for everyday living. Whether you need a quick transformation for a big event or are looking for a long-term whitening solution, our in-office and take-home options can help you achieve your desired look.
While drugstore whitening strips and toothpaste offer some level of whitening, professional treatments can offer more effective and longer-lasting results. Here are a few of the main benefits professional whitening services offer:
- Stronger Whitening Agents – Over-the-counter products have lower concentrations of whitening agents in them. This means they take longer to work and might not help you achieve the full whitening effect you want.
- Safe & Even Whitening – Store-bought whitening kits may lead to uneven whitening and can sometimes cause irritation. Professional treatments from a dental office are made to reduce sensitivity and ensure consistent results.
- Faster Results – In-office whitening can make your teeth up to eight shades whiter in just one appointment. Take-home kits provide gradual results over a few weeks, but thanks to the more concentrated whitening agents, they work faster than drugstore brands.
- Customised Treatments – We want to deliver more dramatic results, while also protecting your long-term oral health. We’ll make sure your treatment protects your tooth enamel and gums, while also customizing your treatment plan to help you achieve your vision.
In-Office Professional Teeth Whitening in Vancouver
In-office teeth whitening is the best option for instant, dramatic results. Many people choose this option to prepare for an exciting event, such as a wedding, speaking engagement, ceremony, or photoshoot. Just one short session can give you a brighter smile.
What to Expect During an In-Office Whitening Session
- Pre-Treatment Assessment – Your dentist will examine your teeth and gums to ensure whitening is the right option for you. Next, we’ll talk about your goals and show you what you can expect in terms of brightening.
- Preparation – A protective barrier will be applied to your gums and lips to prevent irritation from the whitening agent.
- Whitening Process – A professional-strength bleaching gel will be applied to your teeth and activated using a special light to accelerate the whitening process. You’ll stay comfy in our chairs until the treatment is complete.
- Results – Once we’ve removed the whitening agent, you’ll be able to admire the results!
At-Home Teeth Whitening Kits
If you prefer to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home and at your own pace, our custom at-home whitening kits are an excellent choice. These kits offer a more gradual approach but still deliver professional-grade results over time. It’s also a great option for those who want to extend the results of their in-office treatment.
What’s Included in an At-Home Whitening Kit?
- Custom-Fitted Whitening Trays – Designed specifically for your teeth to ensure even whitening, minimal gum irritation, and a mess-free application.
- Professional-Grade Whitening Gel – Stronger than over-the-counter products, our gel effectively lifts stains while being gentle on enamel.
- Instructions for Best Results – Our team will provide you with clear guidance on how to use your kit effectively for safe and long-lasting whitening. We’ll also tell you how many treatments to apply, when to apply them, and what you can expect after your initial treatment is complete.
Which Teeth Whitening Option is Right for You?
Choosing between in-office and at-home teeth whitening depends on your goals, lifestyle, and budget. If you’re looking for immediate and dramatic results, an in-office treatment is the way to go. If you prefer a more gradual, budget-friendly option, an at-home whitening kit may be the better choice. In some cases, you might want to start the process with an in-office treatment and use a take-home kit to extend your results.
During your consultation, our dental professionals will assess your teeth, talk about what you hope to achieve, and recommend the best whitening option for you.
Maintaining Your Whiter Smile
The hard work of getting a whiter smile comes from the professional whitening process, but there are plenty of small lifestyle shifts you can make to ensure you get lasting results. Here are a few ways you can maintain a confident, white smile:
- Practise Good Oral Hygiene – Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily to prevent plaque buildup that can lead to staining.
- Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks – Coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-coloured berries can stain your teeth. Rinse your mouth with water after consuming these beverages or use a straw to minimise contact.
- Quit Smoking – Tobacco products are one of the leading causes of tooth discolouration.
- Schedule Regular Dental Cleanings – Professional cleanings remove surface stains and plaque buildup that can dull your smile.
- Follow-Up Treatments – Over time, you may need to touch up your results with additional treatments. You can get in touch with our dental team to learn how and when to whiten again.
