General Questions

 Risks and Concerns

  • The most common side effects are tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. These side effects are usually temporary and may last 24 hours.

  • Gums may become irritated after a professional teeth whitening treatment due to leakage of the whitening agent onto the gums or the strength of the product causing irritation indirectly. This reaction is temporary and will subside. In the meantime, brush gently, avoiding the gums, and refrain from harsh flossing.

Maintenance and aftercare

  • To maintain your bright smile, practice good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing or using a water pick daily. Avoid consuming foods and drinks that stain teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco, for at least 24 hours after teeth whitening to achieve consistent results. Additionally, consider using a whitening toothpaste to help remove stains.

  • Our Teeth whitening agents can't change the colour of crowns, veneers, or fillings to make them look whiter.

    However, we can effectively remove any surface stains that these restorations may have absorbed over time.

  • Drinking coffee through a straw can help reduce the risk of staining your teeth. By using a straw, you minimize the contact between the coffee and your teeth, which helps prevent the dark pigments from adhering to your enamel. Additionally, it can also help protect your teeth from the acidic nature of coffee, reducing the potential for enamel erosion.

Cost and insurance

  • Generally, our Ultimate White treatment is $229 for one 65-minute treatment. This is the recommended treatment for people getting a professional teeth whitening for the very first time.

    All our treatments use the same hydrogen peroxide agent, meticulously hand-applied to each tooth, focusing on the gum line and between the teeth.

  • Since teeth whitening is considered a cosmetic procedure, regular dental benefits typically do not cover it. However, if you have additional benefits such as a health and wellness plan, teeth whitening may be included.

Procedure and Results

In addition, using our take home Minerals will help alleviate inflammation in the gums and nerve pain developing in the teeth.

  • Anyone over the age of 16 is suitable for teeth whitening treatments.

    Individuals under the age of 16 will need a parental/guardian consent for teeth whitening since their teeth and gums are still developing, making them more sensitive to damage and discomfort from whitening agents.
