About whitening

A check first, then whitening

Teeth whitening here starts with a check. Before we whiten anything, a dentist checks your teeth and gums. Whitening gel on a cavity or receding gums can hurt, and it won’t lighten fillings, crowns or bonding, so it’s worth knowing what will and won’t change before you start. Once you’re cleared, you choose between whitening done here in the chair and take-home trays made to fit your teeth. Both are supervised by our dentists at 9300 Keele St, so you get whitening at a strength that suits your teeth rather than a one-size kit.

Your options

In-office or take-home whitening

Which one suits you depends on how quickly you want results and how sensitive your teeth are.

In-office whitening

Done in one appointment in the chair, for when you want a visible change quickly.

serv2-custom-teeth-whitening-solutions

Take-home trays

Trays made from a scan or impression of your teeth, worn at home over a couple of weeks.

serv3-in-clinic-whitening-treatment

Touch-ups

Keep your trays and top up now and then, since coffee, tea and red wine slowly re-stain teeth.

serv4-teeth-whitening-consultation

Sensitive teeth

If your teeth are sensitive, we can adjust the strength and timing so it’s more comfortable.

When bonding is the better fix

Whitening doesn’t fix chips or gaps. For those, Bioclear bonding may suit you better.

Good to know

What whitening can and can’t do

Maple Dental Center (14)

Whitening lightens natural enamel. It doesn’t change the colour of fillings, crowns, veneers or bonding, so if you have any of those on your front teeth, we’ll talk about how they’ll look next to your whitened teeth. Some people feel sensitivity for a day or two during whitening. It usually passes once you finish.

FAQ

Questions about teeth whitening

Yes, when a dentist checks your teeth first and sets the strength. Whitening on an untreated cavity or exposed root can be painful, which is why we check before we start.

Some people feel sensitivity for a day or two. It usually passes after you finish. If your teeth are already sensitive, tell us and we can adjust the strength and timing.

No. Whitening only lightens natural enamel. Fillings, crowns, veneers and bonding stay the same colour, so we'll talk about how they'll look before you whiten.

It depends on what you eat and drink. Coffee, tea, red wine and smoking bring stains back faster. Occasional touch-ups with your take-home trays keep the shade up.

Usually not. Most dental plans treat whitening as cosmetic. We'll give you the price at your consult before you decide.

Yes. We're open Saturdays from 8 am to 3 pm and Wednesdays until 8 pm.
