Okotoks Teeth Whitening

What is teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is a procedure that removes stains from your teeth and restores their original color and appearance. We eat a lot of foods daily that stains our teeth. Common offenders are coffee, tea, sauces, red wine, etc.

These highly pigmented foods stain your teeth that regular brushing can’t remove. Sometimes, infection, trauma, or using certain medications can cause discoloration of your teeth.

There are two types of stains that you could have:

Dark-colored foods and beverages cause extrinsic stains and can be easily removed through teeth whitening.
Intrinsic stains are caused by medications like tetracycline, trauma, injury, or exposure to certain minerals like fluoride. At-home whitening treatments and dental veneers are good options for treating these stains.
Stained teeth impact your confidence and your ability to smile.

At D’Arcy Dental, our team of experienced dental professionals helps you achieve a vibrant smile through our teeth whitening treatment.

We use potassium nitrate and fluoride-integrated pH-neutral gels for faster and more effective results.

In-office vs. at-home teeth whitening

We provide both in-office and at-home teeth whitening in Okotoks. If you want to whiten your teeth by several shades without visiting the dentist’s office several times, our in-office teeth whitening is perfect for you. In a single in-office appointment, our team whitens your teeth and takes impressions to make a custom tray. We use a safe and effective whitening gel that removes stains to reveal your teeth’s natural color and shine. We also provide custom trays that allow you to do touch-ups at home without coming into our office. If stepping into the dental office for teeth whitening seems challenging, our at-home treatment will work best for you. We make custom trays using teeth impressions. You can then collect these trays and the whitening gel from our office. Our dentist will explain how to use it safely and for maximum and long-lasting results.

Teeth whitening Frequently Asked Questions

Teeth whitening is usually not painful. You might experience temporary sensitivity, which will subside in one or two days. When applied, teeth whitening gel lifts the stains on your teeth without affecting your gums and enamel. Our dental team at D’Arcy Dental will ensure maximum comfort and safety during the procedure.

If you are not careful, teeth whitening gels can cause gum irritation. That’s why we recommend going to a teeth whitening dentist near you to do it professionally.

Our treatment usually lasts for 8-12 weeks. It all depends on your own dietary habits and lifestyle factors. Avoiding staining foods and drinks and smoking tobacco will help the treatment last longer. Also, an excellent oral hygiene routine will help maintain your smile.

Teeth whitening does not work on crowns already in your mouth, as whitening treatments do not work on porcelain and other bonding materials.

We recommend avoiding sugary candies and acidic foods like vinegar, soy sauce, tomato sauce, etc. Also, highly pigmented foods like berries, cinnamon, turmeric, and curry powder can stain your treated teeth, so avoid those for at least 48 hours after treatment.
