Teeth Whitening Erin Mills - Onyx Dental

Help bring out the best in your smile in as little as one appointment and leave with noticeably whiter teeth!

Notice the difference in your smile now compared to when you were younger? It’s not uncommon for people to notice tooth discolouration over time. There are tons of factors behind tooth discolouration, such as smoking or drinking coffee.

At Onyx Dental we offer both in-office and take home whitening to meet all of your smile needs and help you achieve a beautiful smile.

Why Do Teeth Become Discoloured?

Teeth become more porous and susceptible to stains over time. As the outer layer of enamel is worn away, the dentin, the denser tissue within your teeth, may become visible.

Because of the inherent attraction of food particles to tooth enamel, beverages including coffee and tea, berries, and soy sauce are known for discolouring teeth.

To counteract the effects of aging and abuse from food and cigarette stains, more and more people are choosing teeth whitening in Erin Mills today.

Why Go With Professional Teeth Whitening Treatment?

Your neighbourhood drugstore likely carries a variety of teeth whitening solutions, but patients should be selective about the ones they use and buy. Some methods, especially “natural” teeth whitening agents like charcoal and coconut oil teeth pulling, have not been well tested for efficacy and safety and may cause unforeseen adverse effects.

It’s critical to realize that charcoal is extremely abrasive and can harm teeth. The American Dental Association does not currently advise using these DIY teeth whitening techniques.

Over-the-counter whitening toothpastes and strips are merely a much weaker version of the professional in-office treatment. However, they have been known to safely produce results over time.

Types of Whitening Treatment

Here at Onyx Dental, we offer different teeth whitening treatments depending on a patient’s specific needs and goals for their smile. Different teeth whitening methods may produce different teeth whitening results, and our dentists will evaluate your needs and make recommendations during your consultation.

It is recommended that you get your teeth whitened before undergoing more complex cosmetic dentistry procedures. This is because veneers, crowns, and other restorations will be colour-matched to your existing teeth, and may be out of place once you whiten your smile.

Teeth Whitening Gel Treatment

The quickest and most comprehensive method of teeth whitening is through our in-office bleaching treatment. We will use specialized trays that protect your gums to apply the bleaching gel to your teeth during this process. After that, lasers are used to activate the whitening gel and aid in penetrating tough stains. You will leave our office with noticeably whiter teeth as the benefits are seen right away. The unique method we employ reduces your likelihood of experiencing gum sensitivity or tooth sensitivity.

Bleaching

Peroxide-based bleaches are frequently used to whiten teeth, and they typically deliver great results. However, not every situation responds well to these formulas. With peroxide-based therapy, patients with fillings, crowns, root canals, and heavy stains on their front teeth may have difficulty reaching the shade they desire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Zoom Whitening: What Is It?

Zoom whitening is a professional teeth-whitening procedure that offers noticeable results in just two hours. In order to protect sensitive teeth from the potent whitening solution, a protective gel is first applied to the patient’s soft tissues. The bleaching capabilities of the solution are then activated by exposing it to a specific light before being applied to the teeth. During the remaining portion of the visit, you can unwind and enjoy some TV or music while the solution works to whiten your smile.

Does Bleaching Your Teeth Hurt?

While professional teeth whitening doesn’t directly hurt, some patients may feel mild sensitivity in their teeth and gums for a few days after the procedure. Your dentist may advise reducing the solution’s strength or using a specific toothpaste to counteract some of the treatment’s side effects if you are particularly prone to tooth sensitivity.

Will the Teeth-Whitening Procedures You Use Harm My Enamel?

No. Professional teeth whitening administered by a licensed dentist are absolutely safe and won’t cause any long-term harm to your tooth enamel or gums. Although you could feel a little sensitivity at first, there won’t be any long-term effects if you decide to get your teeth whitened with our assistance.

How Much Does Erin Mills Teeth Whitening Cost?

The type of teeth whitening techniques you select, the number of sessions required, the number of shades you want to lighten your teeth, if you want extra treatments, and other factors all affect how much teeth whitening in Erin Mills will cost.

Our dental staff will be pleased to go over your options with you if you are interested in professional teeth whitening in Erin Mills. We can provide you with a more precise cost estimate after we are aware of the specifics of the therapy you want.

I Have Veneers, Fillings, and Other Dental Treatments; Would Whitening Harm Them?

No, using dental bleach won’t damage your fillings. However, it also won’t make them better. Your current restorations will stand out as seeming darker than your neighbouring teeth if you whiten your teeth. To make sure they match the rest of your smile after bleaching, you might need to replace them. Ideally it is recommended to have any major restorative treatment done after teeth whitening so that we can best match your teeth and your crowns/veneers.

Will Teeth Whitening Be Covered by My Insurance?

Since teeth whitening is an elective cosmetic procedure, insurance may or may not pay for it. To learn more, speak with your insurance company directly. At Onyx Dental we can help you submit a treatment cost estimate from us to your insurance provider.

What Foods Should I Stay Away From if I Want to Maintain My White Teeth?

Reduce the amount of darkly pigmented foods in your diet as much as possible. A good generalization is that anything that can stain a white shirt can also stain your teeth (through frequent exposure). If you do consume a dark-colored dish, such as curry, soy sauce, or tomato sauce, or a dark beverage such as coffee, rinse with water immediately afterwards and brush as soon as you can to prevent stains from forming.
