Teeth Whitening in Springwood
In-chair Whitening
In-chair whitening is done in one session, using Zoom teeth whitening products. You should plan to stay in our practice for an hour to an hour and a half, and you will see instant results at the end of the session. Because your mouth is open for this process, it can become very dry and you may experience some discomfort. We’ll give you pain relief if you are uncomfortable. When you leave, we will give you sensitivity-relief toothpaste and gel to use at home.
For 48 hours after your whitening session, you should avoid hot or cold foods, as well as any food or drink with intense colour such as red wine and blueberries. We will go over these aftercare recommendations with you before you leave our practice.
Take-home Whitening
You can choose between daytime or nighttime whitening. You’ll come into the practice for impressions, so we can make the trays for you. We’ll give you the whitening gel and the appropriate instructions for day or night whitening. Your take-home kit will include two trays, four syringes, a case for the trays and instructions. Results vary, but it typically takes two to three weeks to see results.

Not everyone is a suitable candidate for teeth whitening. A free consultation is offered to all patients prior to treatment to determine if we can proceed with the teeth whitening treatment. A scale and clean is recommended prior to your teeth whitening treatment to ensure you achieve the best results. Please contact the practice with any questions and to book your free consultation.
